Ecotoxicity evaluation of a liquid detergent using the automatic biotest ECOTOX

Ecotoxicology, 2013
Synthetic detergents are common pollutants reaching aquatic environments in different ways after usage at homes, institutions and industries. In this study a liquid detergent, used for dish washing, was evaluated for its toxicity during long- and short-term tests using the automatic biotest ECOTOX. Different parameters of Euglena gracilis like motility,
