Chemical, Biological And Physical Studies.
The chemical studies allow an understanding of the toxic nature, origin and dynamics of contaminants. Close to a hundred toxics are under assessment. The biological studies show the potential effects of the contaminants on the natural environment and organisms. Some fish species, phytoplankton and zebra mussels contamination are presently under study to establish bioindicators of the fluvial ecosystem. The physical studies allow an understanding of the fluvial dynamics, behaviour, movement and dissipation of pollutants.

Multitrophic Biosurveys, Biomarkers, Chemical Analysis Methods.
Some toxicity tests are conceived to determine a substance's genetic inheritance potential aggression. Other tests focus on measuring effects such as growth or breeding inhibition for a scope of micro-organisms. Researchers have developed the Potential Ecotoxic Effects Parameter, the PEEP, a measuring scale for toxicity which allows the determination of the industrial effluents relative hazards according to their toxicity level.
