Article Synopsis
- A new method was developed to assess the ecotoxicological effects of industrial discharges on river basins, focusing first on genotoxicity and later incorporating chronic assays to better understand environmental health.
- The study compared two sampling periods using the microscreen phage-induction and Salmonella/microsome assays, revealing increased mutagenic activity in areas near petrochemical complexes with more significant cytotoxicity observed during the second period.
- Chronic toxicity tests with Daphnia magna verified the toxic impact, showing higher mortality rates at sites closest to industrial influence, highlighting the need for combined assay approaches for effective environmental evaluation.
