Pollutech EnviroQuatics Limited
Pollutech EnviroQuatics Limited has operated an aquatic
toxicity testing research laboratory, in Sarnia and now in
Point Edward, Ontario, Canada, continuously since the early
1970's. This research laboratory has been performing routine
compliance bioassays as well as developing new and innovative
bioassay and biomonitoring techniques for over 30 years. This
research expertise, together with other corporate capabilities
provides a unique addition to any environmental project team.
For example, Pollutech'process engineering group routinely uses
toxicity tests to determine the toxic component(s) of
wastewater streams and to test methods for treatment of the
component(s).
Legislative changes and a change in the attitude of the general
public towards the environment has made aquatic biological
testing of chemicals and effluent discharges a necessity for
assessing potential aquatic impacts. Though the trend has
historically been to conduct in depth chemical analysis to
determine environmental conditions, biological testing has
become an increasingly major component of environmental
monitoring. While chemical analysis provides an indication of
the contaminant levels, biological testing provides a measure
of the potential effects these contaminants have on aquatic
biota.
Typical toxicity testing species include a variety of
freshwater pelagic(rainbow trout, Daphnia magna, Fathead
Minnow, Ceriodaphnia dubia, African Clawed Frog and the algal
sepcies Selenastrum capricornutum)freshwater sediment (Hyalella
azteca, Chironomus tentans, Chironomus riparius, Hexagenia
limbata, Tubifex tubifex) and various marine (sea urchins,
marine amphipods and fish - Silverside minnows) species.
As an aquatic toxicity testing laboratory Pollutech
EnviroQuatics Limited is a certified testing facility by the
Canadian Association of Enviornmental Analytical Laboratories
(CAEAL) and is accredited for specific toxicity tests by
Standards Council of Canada (SCC). Specific toxicity tests for
which Pollutech EnviroQuatics is accreditated can be found at
