Environmental Quality Research. Use of Unicellular Algae for Evaluation of Potential Aquatic Contaminants

Abstract

Selenastrum capricornutum and Dunaliella tertiolecta were used as test algae in bioassays to determine the toxic and/or biostimulating effects of hydrazine and methylated hydrazines in various fresh water and marine aquatic environments. Standard batch algal assay procedures were used to determine safe concentrations and effective concentrations for the compounds studied. Chemical analyses were performed to determine compound stability under the various test conditions.
