The aim of the study was to assess acute and chronic toxicity to selected aquatic organisms. The scope of work included conducting tests with bioindicators from various trophic levels, i.e. the marine bacterium Allivibrio fischeri (Microtox test), the algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Algaltoxkit F test) and the aquatic plant Spirodela polyrhiza (Spirodela Duckweed Toxkit test). The aim of the project was also to assess the possibility of phytoremediation of ibuprofen from the aquatic environment using the plants Elodea canadensis, Myriophyllum alterniflorum and Lemna minor.
The ibuprofen concentrations tested were: 5 mg/L; 10 mg/L; 20 mg/L; 50 mg/L; 100 mg/L; 200 mg/L.
The tests were conducted on two substrates: Hoagland's medium and surface water.
The documentation contains the results of research conducted as part of the above-mentioned project. It has been grouped into folders and files according to the research conducted on:
- photographic documentation of changes in plant physiology as a result of exposure to ibuprofen, together with a description,
- results of changes in biomass growth of plants exposed to ibuprofen, together with a description of the research,
- results of the Algaltoxkit F test, together with a description of the research and photographic documentation,
- results of the Duckweek toxkit test, together with a description of the research and photographic documentation,
- results of the Microtox test, together with a description of the research.
