“…Copper toxicity is associated with the suspended fraction of sewage, while chromium toxicity and genotoxicity are linked to the soluble fraction of sewage. Our results are contrary to the generalized idea of a strong association between the majority of heavy metals and suspended materials [33].…”

Abstract-Acute toxicity and genotoxicity of cadmium, copper, chromium, mercury, nickel, and zinc dissolved in deionized water and in sewage were established by comparing the EC50 and EC20 values obtained by different microbial assays. For acute toxicity determination, The Netherlands Standard NEN6509 test, the spectrophotometric assays of respiratory inhibition using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pseudomonas fluorescens, and the Microtox test were employed. To determine metal genotoxicity, the Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli mutagenicity tests, the SOS-␤-galactosidase genotoxicity test, and the Mutatox TM assay were used. The toxicity of the different assayed metals varied from the most toxic, mercury, to the least toxic, nickel and zinc. Two different rankings of toxicity and genotoxicity, very similar to each other, were established. The toxicity ranking was Hg Ͼ Cr Ͼ Cd ϳ Cu ϳ Zn Ͼ Ni, and the genotoxicity ranking was Hg Ͼ Cr Ͼ Cu ϳ Cd ϳ Ni Ͼ Zn. The association between the toxicity and genotoxicity of copper and chromium in the dissolved and suspended fractions of sewage was also determined. Copper was mainly associated with the suspended fractions and chromium with the dissolved fractions of sewage.

The aim of this work was to perform tests of genotoxicity and toxicity on samples of riverine sediments from a location subject to motor industry load (car battery production). Together with sediment samples we also collected benthos, biofilm and juvenile fish. Concentration of lead was established in all the samples since the sewage waters discharged from the car battery production plant are heavily polluted with lead. Genotoxicity was tested with two tests of genotoxicity: the SOS chromotest and the Escherichia coli WP2 test. The toxicity of sediments was tested with a test of toxicity performed on a water crustacean Daphnia magna. A profound toxic influence upon benthic organisms was found; a consequence of the river pollution with waste water and flush water from the car battery production plant. This toxic effect was also proven by an aqueous leach from the test performed with Daphnia magna. Both tests of genotoxicity proved a significant genotoxic potential of the sediment samples linked with the growth of the concentration of lead in the sediments (up to 647 mg·kg -1

“…Sensitivity of the SOS Chromotest with cyclohexane and methylene chloride extracts of soils from hazardous waste sites was greater with S9 mix than without (McDaniels et al, 1990). Again, the genotoxicity of water and sediment extracts was reported to be generally lower and higher, respectively, in the presence of S9 mix (Langevin et al, 1992). Extracts of complex environmental mixtures containing PAHs were shown to be less active with S9 (Nylund et al, 1992).…”
