β¦ Synopsis
Studies were conducted to describe a method for the characterisation of natural and waste waters using plant seed germination as a technique for toxicity testing. Maize seeds were found to be more sensitive to differences in water quality than cowpea seeds and also showed more consistency in results. Trials conducted using natural waters and effluents from gold mining and textile manufacturing operations are also reported.

Cationic (low density polyethylene (LPDE)-g-poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc)) and cationic/anionic (LDPE-g-P(AAc/4-vinyl pyridine (4VP)) membranes) were used to elucidate the possi
## Abstract An internal standard method is proposed in the stripping analysis of natural waters. The method consists of the introduction into the sample solution of a reference element and subsequent calculation of the concentration of several elements by the increase in the analytical signal from
