✦ Synopsis
A novel behavioral toxicity test using the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila is described. Tests using a control water (spring water) and two reference toxicant solutions (sodium chloride and guaiacol) yielded reproducible results, indicating that the method has potential as a reliable toxicity test for use in industrial effluent monitoring.
