摘要: A short term small volume14C-assimilation algal toxicity test usingSelenastrum capricomutum CCAP 278/4 as organism was used to determine the potential of a few selected compounds. Generally sensitivity method increased with increasing exposure time substances tested. It found that complied prerequisites an acute test, because in most instances could be detected within 0.5 h exposure. Copper, cadmium, mercury and atrazine were toxic compounds
