Acute toxicity tests were applied by bacterial luminescence method with Vibriofischeri and expressed as Toxicity Unit (T.U.) defined as 100/EC50. In parallel, conventional pollution parameters (COD, BOD, NH4, sulfide, color, etc.) and heavy metals were analyzed. The results indicate that river water and sediments are polluted severely and urgently need to control.en10.1016/j.desal.2007.02.116info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessComplex EffluentsEcotoxicological AssessmentToxicity Unit (TU)Vibrio FischeriWaste-WaterSedimentConference Object2261-3348356Q2WOS:0002576043000392-s2.0-40949159291Q1
