  • Title: Toxicity identification evaluation of Lake Orta (Northern Italy) sediments using the Microtox system.

    Abstract:
    Pore waters extracted by centrifugation from Lake Orta (Northern Italy) sediments were studied with a modified Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) procedure using the Microtox bacterial luminescence toxicity test system. The most toxic pore water samples were from stations near a rayon factory, known as a source of copper and ammonium discharges. The TIE manipulations used were filtration, EDTA chelation, and C18 solid-phase resin adsorption. The most effective treatments to remove toxicity were the EDTA and C18, indicating that both metals and nonpolar organic compounds contribute to the observed toxicity.
