Studies on the effect of Bladex and Etazine on bacterial indices of pollution
The effect of the triazine herbicides Etazine and Bladex on coliform and fecal streptococci groups was studied in Nile river water, Nile water seeded with sewage, and autoclaved Nile water. The results indicate the fecal streptococci were able to persist and multiply in Nile water containing Bladex or Etazine and seeded with sewage. The successive addition of Bladex and Etazine (up to 10 mg/liter) increased its degradation rate and had no inhibitory effect on the bacterial parameters.
Pesticide pollution and the effects on the biota of chew valley lake
Abstract Pesticides arising from sheep dip residues deposited some miles away on the land passed into an underground storage system and eventually into a feeder stream of the Chew Valley lake. They either killed or prevented the reproduction of Daphnia sp., Bosmina sp. and some Chronomid larvae. The crustaceans has been grazing on unicellular algae, which, in their absence, caused a severe algal bloom, which made the water supply temporarily unpotable.
