A. Behechti et al., TOXICITY OF CHLORINATED ALKANES ON THE ALGA SCENEDESMUS-SUBSPICATUS IN A CLOSED TEST VESSEL, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 4(3), 1995, pp. 148-153
The toxicity of five chlorinated alkanes on the alga Scenedesmus subsp
icatus was tested with an alga growth inhibition test. The test was sl
ightly modified to enable testing of volatile compounds. Dispersion of
the results could be reduced. EC 50 values obtained were lower than i
n the original unmodified version. Results can be considered more reli
able and relevant with regard to environmental conditions.
