"Battery of Bioassays" for Diagnostics of Toxicity of Natural Water when Pollution with Aluminum Compounds

Olkova Anna, Berezin Grigory

Vol. 22, nr 2

195--199

The article presents the results of an experimental comparison of the sensitivity of biotests using Daphnia magna Straus, Ceriodaphnia affinis Lilljeborg, Paramecium caudatum Ehrenberg, and Escherichia coli Migula (strain M-17) to water pollution with aluminum compounds. The research was carried out under simulated conditions: the model toxicant was aluminum sulfate Al2(SO4)3∙18H2O, the concentration range per Al was 0.04–2.8 mg/dm3, and the pH of the tested waters was close to the neutral level of 7.2–7.8. The bioluminescence of E. coli significantly decreased at an Al concentration of 0.8 mg/dm3 (toxicity index was 93.3±1.2, which refers to a high level of toxicity). The reaction of P. caudatum was weaker: a high level of toxicity was achieved at an Al concentration of 2.8 mg/dm3. These doses did not cause the death of D. magna and C. affinis in short-term experiments (28 and 96 hours, respectively). However, in the tests for the chronic toxicity of aluminum, we showed that the doses of 0.8 and 2 mg/dm3 Al cause high death of individuals (more than 50%) and a significant decrease in the number of offspring. The range of sensitivity of the bioassay methods to water pollution with aluminum turned out to be as follows: bioassay for the bioluminescence of E. coli > bioassay for the changes in chemotaxis of P. caudatum > bioassay for the changes in fertility of D. magna > bioassay for the changes in fertility of C affinis.

Transformation of Urbanozems in the Areas of Gas Stations

The areas near gas stations are places of local specific environmental pollution. The purpose of this work was to study the environmental consequences of gas station functioning on the surrounding soils (urbanozems). The content of oil products (OP), bulk and mobile forms of heavy metals, acute toxicity (Ceriodaphnia affinis Lillieborg, Раramecium caudatum Ehrenberg, Escherichia coli Migula), chronic toxicity (C. affinis), and the state of soil microphotrophs were determined. The content of OP was from 520±130 to 4820±100 mg/kg, which is significantly higher than the concentrations of OP in the soils of the transport zone of cities. The exceeding of the Russian standards for HM was found only for zinc (the maximum for the total form – 1.7 MPC, for the mobile form – 1.4 MPC). The urbanozems samples did not have acute toxicity; however, chronic toxicity in the bioassay for the mortality of C. affinis (up to 85%) and a decrease in the fertility of crustaceans (2–3 times compared to the control) were observed. In the structure of the community of soil microphototrophs, cyanobacteria dominated both in biomass and in abundance: (up to 748±10 thousand cells/1 g of soil) compared with green algae and diatoms (1.1–5.5 and 1.2–19.8 thousand cells/1 g of soil, respectively). As a result of the work, it was concluded that the quantitative algological analysis and biotest with the assessment of chronic toxicity in terms of mortality and fertility of C affinis for the diagnosis of local soil contamination in the areas of gas stations were of the highest informative value.
