Ecotoxicological assessment of sediment leachates of small watercourses in suburban area.

Original language description

Sediments of two small watercourses Leskava and Troubsky Brook in the Brno city suburban area were examined for their ecotoxicity. Using a standard procedure, extracts of the sediments were prepared for diagnostic tests. These extracts were tested for acute toxicity to fresh-water organisms. The ecotoxicological tests were performed on the fresh-water alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the vascular water plant - Lemna minor, on a representative of invertebrates - water flea Daphnia magna) and on thefrog embryo -Xenopus laevis and luminiscent bacteria -Vibrio fischeri. Possible toxic effects were evaluated using a test determining the inhibition of the growth of white mustard root - Sinapis alba. Except for the test on Lemna minor, Vibrio fischeri and Xenopus laevis, all tests were performed according to a procedure used to determine ecotoxicity in wastes. Results of our ecotoxicological assessment of sediment leachates showed that their quality varied significantly during the year,
