Two methods, a Ceriodaphnia algal uptake suppression test (CAUST) and a new toxicity test based on temperature control (TTBTC) which are based on feeding behaviour and temperature control, respectively, were developed and compared for the adoption as the better methodology for short-term toxicity screening. As previously published by Lee et aI., (1997), the CAUST method is based on the feeding behaviour of C. dubia and requires as little as 1 hour of contact time between C. dubia neonates and toxicant. However, even though CAUST requires only 1 hour of contact time, this method still take many hours for the preparation and measurement. Before the test starts, neonate digestive tracts were cleared by feeding yeast to the daphnids, Neonates were then exposed to toxicant, followed by addition of Scenedesmus subspiatus into the bioassay vessels. Daphnids were examined under the bright-field microscope with the presence of algae (indicated by a green colored digestive tract) or the absence of algae. Uptake indicated no toxic effect, whereas, absence of uptake indicated toxic inhibition. Unlike CAUST, the newly developed method (TTBTC) is based on just temperature control for the toxicity test of C. dubia. Initially, neonates are exposed to toxicants while the temperature of water bath containing media increased to $35.5^{\circ}C$. After 1.25 hour of contact time, the number of the daphnids, either live (no toxic effect) or dead (toxic effect), is counted without the aid of any instrument. In both methods, median effective concentrations ($EC_{50}$ values) were computed based on the results over a range of dosed toxicant concentrations. It showed that TTBTC was as sensitive as the standard 48-hour acute bioassay and CAUST. TTBTC and CAUST were much more sensitive than the I-hour I.Q. test and 30-minute Microtox. This study indicates that TTBTC is an easier and more rapid toxicity test than the standard 48-hour acute bioassay and even CAUST.

A method for rapid acute toxicity test based on temperature control of Ceriodaphnia dubia has been developed and evaluated. A new toxicity test based on temperature control (TTBTC) which are based on temperature control, was developed and compared for the adsorption of the better methodology for short-term toxicity screening. Initially, daphnid larval are exposed to toxicants and at the same time the temperature of the water bath containing media is increased to high temperature $(35.5^{\circ}C).$ After 1.25 hrs of contact time, the number of the daphnids, either living (no toxic effect) or dead (toxic effect), is counted by the naked eyes. Effect of exposure time on test sensitivity was not significantly different between 1 to 1.5 hr. Comparison of the rapid 1.25 hr acute toxicity test developed in this study and the standard 48 hr acute toxicity test using heavy metals, cyanide and pentachlorophenol indicated that the 1.25 hour test provides an acceptable level of sensitivity in toxicity test for C. dubia.

Toxicity evaluations of 3-tert-butyl-, 2-isopropyl-, 3-isopropyl- and 4-propyl-phenol and their binary mixtures were performed with the Microtox$\^$(R) / assay and compared to invertebrates and fish. The single chemical, 4-isopropylphenol, exhibited the greatest relative toxicity to the Microtox organism (Vibrio fischeri). The relative electrophilicity (LUMO) of the phenols, in contrast to the lipophilicity (Log P), was strongly correlated with toxicity to V fischeri (r$^2$=0.96, p<0.01). In contrast, relative electrophilicity alone could not explain variances in toxicity of the phenols to Ceriodaphnia dubia. Results suggest that electrophilicity in conjunction with lipophilicity provide better correlation with toxicity to C. dubia and Pimephales promelas. Microtox results from the binary mixture toxicity tests of selected phenolics indicate a mechanism of interaction governed by suppression/antagonism.

We developed and evaluated a method of short-term acute toxicity testing based on the feeding behavior of Ceriodaphnia dubia. In prior toxicity tests, neonates of C. dubia were hatched and cultivated with the addition of yeast only for the preparation of the transparent daphnid's gut. Scenedesmus subspicatus was supplied as food after 1 to 6 h of exposure to toxicants. The effects of 1-h and 6-h exposure time on test sensitivity did not significantly differ. A comparison of the short-term l-h acute toxicity test developed in this study to the standard 48-h acute toxicity test using heavy metals, cyanide, and pentachlorophenol indicated that the 1-h test provided an acceptable sensitivity level in toxicity testing of C. dubia..

Ceriodaphnia dubia를 이용한 새로운 독성시험법인 온도증가 단기독성평가법(ToxTemp, ToxCity test based on TEMPerature control)을 이용하여 농약성분에 대한 민감도를 조사하였다. BPMC, Diazinon, Fenitrothion등 하수의 생물학적 처리에 독성을 나타낼 수 있는 물질들에 대하여 기존의 실험방법인 표준 48시간 독성시험법과 비교했을 때 온도증가법은 $1{\sim}1.5$시간의 짧은 접촉시간에도 농약의 독성을 잘 감지할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 중금속, 독성 유기화합물 그리고 농약성분을 비교, 평가했을 때 온도증가법은 1.25시간의 짱은 접촉시간 내에 48시간독성법의 결과와 높은 상관관계를 유지하며 독성을 감지하였다. 염색공단 폐수와 하수 등 실폐수에서의 독성평가능을 검토하기 위하여 활성슬러지를 이용한 질산화율, 산소이용율(OUR)과 C. dubia를 이용한 표준 48시간 독성시험법, 온도증가법을 비교하였다. 그 결과 OUR을 이용한 평가에서는 비교적 높은 질산화율 저해도를 보인 원수에 대해서도 독성민감도가 낮아 현장적용에 한계를 나타낸 반면 C. dubia를 이용한 표준 48시간 독성시험법과 온도증가법은 각기 다른 수준의 독성에 대해 민감하게 차이를 보였으며, 이 두 방법은 질산화율 저해도와 좋은 상관관계를 보였다. 온도증가법은 표준 48시간 독성시험법에 비해 1.5% 정도 민감도가 떨어지지만 현장에서의 신속한 감지가 가능하다는 점에서 현장에서의 질산화 독성진단에 대한 적용가능성이 높음을 보여주었다.

In this research, biological treatability test was conduced using seawater flocculated tannery wastewater by fixed biofilm reactor. During one cycle, the removal efficiency of organic corbon obtained with fixed biofilm process for treating tannery wastewater was considerably greater than that with activated sludge process. As the hydraulic retention time increased form 0.5day to 4day, removal efficiency of organic carbon was increased from 72% to 87.3%. Attached biomass in media increased with influent organic loading up to 29g MLSS/L, that could reduce the specific organic loading rate. The continual measurement of attached biomass was possible for the operation of the biofilm reactor. Equal and low nitrication rates were observed in both suspended growth activated sludge process and fixed biofilm process, despite commercial nitrifier was seeded. Through the process of treating the tannery wastewater, EC50 values which is measured by the use of Ceriopdaphnia dubia, were decreased to the extent of 50% after treatment of seawater flocculation and of 83% after biological treatment, respectively, compared to those of the untreated wastewater.

최근 들어, 일반적으로 알려진 중금속 외에 As 및 Se의 생래독성(예를 들면, 어류 및 양서류의 번식독성)이 많은 연구자나 환경관리자들의 관심대상으로 부각되고있다. 상수원 보호구역내 위치하는 하천이나 호소 인근에 As이나 Se의 오염원이 분포되어 있는 경우, 수서 생태계뿐만 아니라 인체의 건강에 큰 위협이 될 수 있기 때문이다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 하천수나 하상 퇴적토의 잠재적 오염 물질인수 종의 중금속에 대한 급성독성과, As 및 Se의 급성, 그리고 번식 독성을 수서곤충을 이용하여 측정하고 이를 상호 비교하였다. 본 실험에 적용된 생물은 생활사가 짧고 배양이 용이하며, 번식력이 높은 물벼룩 (Daphnia magna)과 소형물벼룩 (Ceriodaphia dubia)이었다.

A comparison of Daphnia magna, Ceriodaphnia dubia and Simocephalus mixtus toxicity test was performed to study the relative sensitivities and discrimination abilities with both pore and elutriate water of Woopo wetland sediments. Sediment risk assessment has been done by standardized preparation method of pore and elutriate water described in the joint US EPA-US Army Crops of Engineers manual. Simocephalus mixtus which was obtained from Woopo wetlands in Korea was cultured and applied to sediment toxicity test. Water quality in Woopo wetland had great site and seasonal variations. S. mixtus was more sensitive than D. magna in heavy metal toxicity test. The toxicity results with S. mixtus reflected the water quality of elutriate and pore water. The results also suggested that S. mixtus could be used as a test organism in estimating potential risk of contaminated sediments.

본 연구에서는 국내 수계에 서식하고 있는 수서생물을 대상으로 수행된 바 있는 국내외 독성 시험법의 노출 기간, 종말점 등 시험 세부 조건을 수렴하여, 향후 국내생태 독성시험법 개발을 위해 각 생물종별 시험 세부 조건별 범위와 생태독성평가기법 구축을 위한 방향을 제시하였다. 기존에 국내 생물종을 대상으로 국내외에서 수행된 바 있는 독성 시험법에 대한 연구 사례를 검토한 결과, OECD등의 표준시험법에서 추천한 시험종을 대상으로 한 독성자료가 상당 부분을 차지하였다. 또한 표준시험법의 공시종 이외에도 국내 생물종에 대한 소량의 연구 자료가 있었으나, 대체로 표준시험법을 개별 상황에 맞게 수정 적용한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 노출기간 및 배양액은 생물종마다 상이한 조건으로 수행된 바, 물벼룩류 독성시험에 있어서 가장 유의해야 할 조건인 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 국내 생물종을 이용한 생태독성평가 기반이 미비한 현 시점에서 보다 체계적인 국내생태독성시험법을 개발하기 위해서는 향후 실험 조건과 동일한 조건에서 생활사를 측정하여 보다 명확한 노출기간을 설정, 본 연구에서 선정한 물벼룩류 9종을 대상으로 도출된 생태독성시험기법에 대한 검증 그리고 기존 연구에서 사용되지 않았던 새로운 시험종 개발 및 각각의 시험종에 따른 최적 실험 조건 규명이 선행되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 생물종을 대상으로 한 독성시험기법 및 방향을 제시함으로써 국내 수생태계 실정 및 먹이 연쇄를 통한 생물종 간 상호 관련성 등을 고려할 수 있는 국내 시험종 및 그에 따른 시험법 개발을 위한 중요한 기반이 될 것으로 판단된다.
