Towards the use of PICT methodology in urban aquatic environments : assessing metal toxicity on freshwater periphyton
Vers l'utilisation de la méthode PICT en milieu aquatique urbain : évaluation de la tolérance aux métaux de périphyton prélevé en eau douce
Résumé
The aim of this study is to evaluate Pollution Induced Community Tolerance on freshwater periphyton chronically exposed to urban contamination. We developed a methodology for a simple, low cost and non-radioactive shortterm toxicity test to assess the metal tolerance of periphyton collected in situ.
