Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish a monitorimg method for the detection, identification and evaluation of persistent micro-pollutants in the aquatic environment.
The experimental studies on development of biological methods for concentration and estimation of the micro-pollutants in marine waters were carried out in order to improve the detection technique.
Regarding biological concentration, it could be found in this study that the activated sludge was applicable as an adsorption medium for concentration of the micro- pollutants in marine waters and its application was advantageous in the case that it could not be detect the persistent micro-pollutants by the concentration because of its minute concentration.
The activated sludge was cultivated in the specially designed apparatus to be operated continuously and automatically.
The sample water was prepared by addition of the substrate for cultivation of the activated sludge before feeding into the apparatus.
