ANALYSIS OF MANUFACTURING WATER TOXICITY AND CHEMISTRY CORRELATION
The article discusses the question about correlation between biotesting and hydrochemical analysis results received for sewage waters discharged from yields of RFNC-VNIIEF. Toxicity was determined from the water toxicity determination technique which involves studying infusoria PND F T14.1. 2:3:4.2-98 chemotaxic reaction. Paramecium caudatum was used as test object. Toxicity and hydrochemical analysis results were processed with the help of statistic analysis software package STATISTICA 6.0 (StatSoft. Inc. (2001)). Correlation between toxicity levels and concentration of chemical agents dissolved in the water under analysis was established. Correlation between a range of factors, determined by means of hydrochemical analysis, and toxicity proved to be reliable. Revealing such correlations will allow determining main pollutants in sewage waters and make management decisions necessary for protection of the environment.
