EPA recognized that metals present unique risk assessment issues, and saw the need to
develop a framework document that puts forth key scientific principles for metals risk …

Presenting effective, practicable strategies modeled from ultramodern technologies and
framed by the critical insights of 78 field experts, this vastly expanded Second Edition offers …

It is virtually impossible to reliably assess water quality with target chemical analyses only.
Therefore, a complementary effect‐based risk assessment by bioanalyses on mixtures of …

Safe drinking water without toxic chemicals is crucial for people's health. A recently
developed sensor for the detection of toxic components in water is the microbial fuel cell …

A MFC-based biosensor can act as online toxicity sensor. Electrical current is a direct linear
measure for metabolic activity of electrochemically active microorganisms. Microorganisms …

Bioassays are among the ecotoxicologist's most effective weapons in the evaluation of water
quality and the assessment of ecological impacts of effluents, chemicals, discharges, and …

Six muniaturized alternative assays (called microbiotests) and three standard toxicity tests
were used for a comparative study based on the evaluation of acute toxicity of fifty …

Increasing demand on industrial capacity has, as an unintended consequence, produced an
accompanying increase in harmful and hazardous wastes. Derived from the second edition …

Because it is impossible to chemically analyze all relevant micropollutants, the
implementation of bioanalytical tools is essential to estimate ecological risks of chemical …

Plastic test tubes and microplates were used in two miniaturized algal bioassays for
comparison with a standard algal operational procedure in glass flasks. All three methods …
