The use of classical ecotoxicological biotests for testing of special (hospital) waste waters
Original language description
Relatively little is known about the ecotoxicity of hospital waste waters. A lot of administrated pharmaceuticals are excreted non-metabolized or their metabolites are toxic. Traditional treatment of the hospital waste waters includes mostly desinfectional processes such as chlorination. Minor attention is given to the removal of possible toxic chemicals present in this matrix (pharmaceuticals, disinfectants etc.). In this contribution we present results from testing the applicability of various standard ecotoxicological test systems for assessment of toxicity of various hospital waste waters. The water samples were collected in different parts of the sewer system with respect to sources of different toxicants and dilution in waste water ducts (sewagewater, infectious waste water, waste water from the oncology department). Toxicity was investigated with a series of ecotoxicological biotests (inhibition of Vibrio fisheri luminescence, immobilisation of Daphnia magna, growth inhibition
