Original Abstract

This work was focused on the evaluation of efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) by selected ecotoxicological bioassays. Samples at the inflow and outflow of three WWTP in the Czech Republic with different population equivalent (PE) and small variability of mechanical and biological stage and eventually in chemical cleaning stage were evaluated (WWTP Lednice, 12000 PE; WWTP Mikulov, 24 850 PE; WWTP Brno Modřice, 600 000 PE). Ecotoxicity tests on crustaceans Thamnocephalus platyurus, Daphnia magna as representative of consumers, aquatic plant Lemna minor, terestric plant Allium cepa as producers, Vibrio fischeri as decomposer were conducted.
