    Application of simple and low-cost toxicity tests for ecotoxicological assessment of industrial wastewaters
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015) Aydin, Mehmet Emin; Aydin, Senar; Tongur, Sueheyla; Kara, Gulnihal; Kolb, Marit; Bahadir, Muefit
    The objective of this study was to identify and to apply appropriate biotests having the advantages of being highly sensitive, easy to run, relatively inexpensive and able to substitute fish toxicity tests due to ethical reasons of animal welfare. To perform an ecotoxicological assessment of industrial wastewaters, different microbiotests were conducted to substitute the fish toxicity test with Lebistes reticulatus through Vibrio fischeri, Thamnocephalus platyurus, Daphnia magna, Lemna minor and Lepidium sativum representing different trophic levels in the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Also, Algaltox F-TM with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Protox F-TM with Tetrahymena thermophila tests were carried out. However, they could not be applied successfully for the wastewater samples. Wastewater samples from seven different industrial zones comprising different industries were subjected to characterization through measuring their physical-chemical parameters and their toxicity versus the above-mentioned organisms. T. platyurus, D. magna and L. reticulatus were the most sensitive test organisms investigated for the wastewaters. Considering toxic unit values, generally wastewater samples were toxic according to Thamnotox F-TM, Daphtox F-TM and fish toxicity tests. As an important outcome, it was concluded that Daphtox F-TM and Thamnotox F-TM could be a good alternative for the fish toxicity test, which is so far the sole toxicity test accepted by the Turkish Water Pollution Control Regulation.

    TOXICITY ASSESSMENT OF LANDFILL LEACHATES WITH A BATTERY OF BIOASSAYS
    (PARLAR SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS (P S P), 2015) Aydin, Mehmet Emin; Aydin, Senar; Bahadir, Muefit; Kolb, Marit; Tongur, Suheyla; Kara, Gulnihal
    In this study, the toxicity of the leachate from the municipal landfill was evaluated and assigned to its chemical composition. Leachate samples were collected considering different seasons and assessed for their toxicity by using Thamnotox with Thamnocephalus platyurus, Daphtox with Daphnia magna, Vibrio fischeri, Lemna minor, and Lepidium sativum. Leachate samples were also characterized measuring their physical and chemical parameters. Relationships between the chemical composition and the toxicity of leachate samples were established. EC50, values for Thamnotox, Lemna minor, and Lepidium sativum were negatively correlated with the COD content. There were significant correlations between the TOC with EC50 values of Vibrio fischeri and Lemna minor tests. Vibrio fischeri wasthe most sensitive test organism investigated for the landfill leachate. Considering toxic unit values, leachate samples were highly to very highly acute toxic, according to all the tests carried out.
