Research of waste dump water mutagenicity of bacterial detection system SOS chromotest

摘要

The paper deals with a possible use of the bacterial detection system of SOS chromotest to testnmutagenicity of waste dump water checking the mutagenicity degree on real samples from Praksicenwaste dump, which is a controlled waste dump with mixed industrial, municipal and inert wastes.nThe waste dump surface water samples were taken from a no-name influent stream springing belownthe waste dump body between 2005 and 2009. After metabolic activation by microsomal fractionnin vitro, medium to high mutagenicity was registered in all the samples. The SOS chromotest isnassessed as an effective and economically acceptable method to check and determine thenmutagenicity degree of contaminated water.
