“…It is worth mentioning here that potentially mobile element fractions F2 and F3 positively correlated with inhibition of bacterial luminescence (Table 5). Our previous studies also showed a lower toxicity of the Ro_ znów reservoir bottom sediments to the test plants (Lepidium sativum, Sinapis alba, Sorghum saccharatum) than to Thamnocephalus platyurus (Szara et al, 2020a). On the other hand, Baran et al (2016) evaluated the sensitivity of the performed tests and obtained a higher number of toxic responses for A. fischeri than for H. incongruens in sediments whose organic matter content was high.…”

“…Also in the study by Szara et al (2020a), using consensus-based sediment quality guideline (the TEC and PEC values), it was demonstrated that 2% of samples were above the PEC values for Ni and the TEC values were exceeded for Ni and Cr in 93% of samples. The mean PECq of trace elements was 0.26, meaning that the total trace element content was likely to cause moderate potential toxicity to the biological communities in the bottom sediments (Szara et al, 2020a).…”

“…The bottom sediments were collected from the Ro_ znów reservoir which is located on the Dunajec River in Małopolskie Province, southern Poland. The studies of Tarnawski et al (2017), Baran et al (2019b) and Szara et al (2020aSzara et al ( , 2020b provide more details on the Ro_ znów reservoir and the place where it is located. The bottom sediments were sampled at 46 points in three zones: inlet zone (10 samples), middle zone (22 samples) and outlet zone in the immediate vicinity of the dam (14 samples).…”

“…An important factor in the use of biotests is the selection of an appropriate battery of test organisms. It is important that organisms belong to different taxonomic groups and represent different links in the trophic chain (Szara et al, 2020a(Szara et al, , 2020b. According to current data, sediment chemical analyses should be complemented by ecotoxicological studies, as the large number of potentially toxic compounds in sediments makes chemical assessment time-consuming, costly and often impossible.…”

The aim of the study was to use of geochemical, chemical, ecotoxicological and biological indicators for a comprehensive assessment of ecological risks related to the mobility, ecotoxicity and bioavailability of trace elements in the bottom sediment of the Rożnów reservoir. The study found three elements deserving attention in the sediments: cadmium, nickel and chromium. Cadmium proved to be the most mobile and bioavailable, although the total cadmium content and geochemical indicators did not reveal any risk to organisms. Geochemical indicators showed that the sediments are contaminated with nickel and chromium, but both elements had a low bioaccumulation factor. Fractional analysis also revealed relatively low mobility of Cr and Ni and a higher potential risk of bioavailability for nickel. Most of the tested sediment samples had low toxicity in relation to the tested organisms. For H. incongruens, 11% of the samples were non-toxic, 50% of the samples had low toxicity, and 39% of the samples were toxic. For A. fischeri, no toxicity was found in 7% of the samples, low toxicity in 76% of the samples and toxicity in 17% of the sediment samples. The As, Cd, Cu content in the F1 fraction correlated significantly positively with the content of these metals in mussel tissues. Both biotesting and chemical analysis can reveal a potential risk to aquatic organisms. For a real assessment of the ecological risks associated with trace elements, it is necessary to use bioindicators taken from the environment and exposed to trace elements in situ.

“…The TOC content was almost 5-fold higher in the bottom sediments of the Rybnik Reservoir compared to the bottom sediments of the Roznów Reservoir (Table 1 ). The analysis of the particle size fraction determined the dominance of the silt (67%± 18) and clay (20%±10) fraction in the bottom sediments of the Rożnów Reservoir (Szara et al 2020 ). The bottom sediments coming from the Rybnik Reservoir contain from 48 to 99% sand and from 1 to 52% mud (silt + clay) (Baran et al 2019a ).…”

The information about concentrations of dioxin in pore water, ecotoxicity and DOC and TOC content can be key factor for the prediction of the fate of dioxins in the aquatic environment as well as an ecological risk assessment. The aims of the study were to assess the concentration of PCDDs/PCDFs and ecotoxicity of pore water and to compare above results in relation to the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total organic carbon (TOC) content. The concentration of dioxins was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunoassay test, while the ecotoxicity of pore water was determined using a crustacean Daphnia magna and bacteria Aliivibrio fischeri. The studies were conducted on two different dammed reservoirs Rożnów (catchment basin of an agricultural character) and Rybnik (catchment basin of an industrial character) located in southern Poland. The concentration of dioxins in pore water was between 8.56 to 90.92 ng EQ/L, with a significantly higher concentration in the pore water from the Rożnów Reservoir than the Rybnik Reservoir. The DOC content in pore water was from 30.29 to 63.02 mg/L (Rożnów Reservoir) and from 35.46 to 60.53 mg/L (Rybnik Reservoir). Higher toxic responses were recorded for A. fischeri than for D. magna. Moreover a significantly higher toxicity for both tested organisms was indicated in pore water from the Rożnów Reservoir. Besides of TOC and DOC, the fine fractions of the sediments were particularly important in the concentration of dioxin in pore water. The other pore water parameters, such as pH and EC can influence the toxicity of water for organisms. The result indicate complex relationships between the PCDD/F, ecotoxicity and DOC, TOC concentration in pore water and confirms that these parameters are important in terms of water environmental contamination.
