| Abstract: | A system of efficient on-line monitoring of the state of water in surface water bodies is developed. The expediency of using new general-purpose bioassays for the integral express evaluation of the natural-water toxic impact on living organisms is substantiated. Fundamentally new methods of bioassaying with gasteropoda from special laboratory cultures (“PRM-TESTS”) used as test organisms are presented. The results of complex hydrochemical and biological (toxicological) investigations with PRM-TESTS as applied to water bodies in St. Petersburg are discussed.__________Translated from Vodnye Resursy, Vol. 32, No. 4, 2005, pp. 425–434.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Kurilenko, Zaitseva. |
