Continuous flow bioassay technique for assessing the toxicity of oil-shale-related effluents: preliminary results with two species of caddisfly larvae
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6243055
Two experimental runs were performed in which caddisfly larvae were exposed to various dilutions of oil-shale-related wastewaters in a model stream setting. Another run used a synthetic wastewater compounded from ammonium carbonate. In addition, one run tested the effect of the experimental apparatus, with no wastewater load, on the caddisfly larvae. The activity of the larvae was observed in terms of motility, prepupation behavior and timing, and the abandonment of larval cases.
