Funded Activity Summary

Development and evaluation of a Phytotox-Test for field and laboratory testing of phytotoxic chemicals in water. Monitoring of trace pollutants in water is expensive, laborious and requires sophisticated analytical techniques. Building on the research team's new technique, which uses a phyto-tox test based on photosynthesis inhibition in algae, this study will further develop and evaluate methodologies and applications for measuring phyto-toxic chemicals in environmental water samples. The project aims specifically to: - identify suitable algae, sensitive to phyto-toxic chemicals - determine dose-response for priority pollutants in selected algae - evaluate critical parameters affecting measurements - develop pre-concentration techniques. The outcomes will provide the first on-site trace pollutant testing method allowing more effective management of water pollution
