✦ Synopsis

Toxkits are a relatively new generation of microbiotests developed by the research teams of Professor Guido Persoone at the University of Ghent, Belgium. They are an effective and cost-efficient way to perform, for example, regulatory acute aquatic toxicity screening tests of effluents, aimed at maintaining water quality and protecting biota of receiving waters. To date there are seven Toxkits on the market with different test species of different phylogenetic groups. The protocols for several of these ( TM TM ) kits e.g., Daphtoxkit and the Algaltoxkit adhere to national or international guidelines for toxicity ( ) testing. Supported by the Sustainable Management Fund SMF of the

The environmental chemistry, fate, and toxicology of the herbicide, linuron, is reviewed. Linuron is a phenylurea herbicide used for selective control of annual weeds in fruit and field crops and noncrop areas. Linuron is soluble in water which suggests that it may leach readily through soils. Its l
