EN ISO 6341 Water Quality, Determination of Inhibition of Mobility of Daphnia Magna Straus (Cladocera, Crustacea), Acute Toxicity Test

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 6341 standard. This standard describes a method for determining the acute toxicity of chemicals on Daphnia magna Straus (Cladocera, Crustacea) that can be stored as a soluble or stable suspension or dispersion, treated or untreated wastewater, surface or soil under test conditions.

This method applies to:

• Chemicals that are soluble under test conditions or that can be maintained as a stable suspension or dispersion under test conditions;
• Industrial or sewage waste;
• Treated or untreated wastewater;
• Aqueous extracts and leachates;
• Fresh water (surface and groundwater);
• Freshwater sediment eluates;
• The pore water of freshwater sediment.

Evaluation of harmful effects on water quality has involved biological testing for several years. Crustaceans are of ecotoxicological interest because they are primary consumers and an important component of zooplankton in aquatic ecosystems.
