Abstract:Aims of the investigation were to evaluate toxicity of monoethanolamine waste to various microorganisms and plants; and to search for means accelerating waste biodegradation. The results of the investigation show toxic effects of MEA waste on bacteria, fungi and plant seeds at rather low concentrations. Some microorganisms are able to adapt to the pollutant in the mixed substrates of the MEA and peat. During the experiment, density of the bacterial and fungal populations in the MEA and peat mixed substrates in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
