Abstract
Acute lethality and genotoxic effects of olive oil mill wastewater (OOMW) w ere studied. OOMW showed lethality on amphibian tadpoles of Rana ridibunda and Bufo viridis. The LC50 values were found to be 2.59% and 2.12% for R. r idibunda and B. viridis, respectively. OOMW had also genotoxic effect on Dr osophila melanogaster. Treatment of OOMW (1:9 v/v OOMW:dH(2)O) with Funalia trogii, reduced the phenol, COD and color contents of this waste and decre ased the toxicity in tadpoles.
