Seawater quality along the Adriatic coast, Croatia, based on toxicity data
10.1002/tox.20002.abs
The potential toxicity of organic extracts from 12 seawater samples from each of 24 sampling sites, collected during 1999–2001 along the Adriatic coast, Croatia, was analyzed with the Microtox toxicity bioassay. The results were consistent with the usefulness of Microtox for the detection of accidental toxic events. To determine the water quality of selected areas, cluster analysis for discrimination between groups with similar toxicity load and water quality index as a base for the ranking of sampling sites was introduced. Based on our experimental data, five classes of the quality index were defined, and so areas were ranked in five categories (excellent, good, fair, poor, and very poor) according to their potential toxic influence. The water quality of selected sites for the potential toxicity of organic extracts could be described as excellent at one sampling site, good at 15 sampling sites, and fair at eight sampling sites. Poor and very poor seawater quality was not detected. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 19: 109–114, 2004.
