The goal of this paper is to identify rapid, yet realistic and reliable methods for the early detection of pollutant impacts on wetland ecosystems, particularly those in the wet–dry tropics of northern Australia. In doing so, it describes the ideal attributes of early warning indicators and their subsequent selection for wetland research. It then evaluates the potential of existing methods of assessment as early warning indicators of wetland degradation due to pollutant impacts. Particular attention is paid to rapid assessment techniques, covering a range of trophic levels and levels of biological organization. Due to a number of favorable characteristics, phytoplankton were considered to be potentially the most promising indicators of wetland degradation, and thus the scope of application of toxicity assessment and monitoring methods warrants further investigation. Rapid toxicity bioassays using invertebrates and vertebrates were also considered to be an essential part of an early detection program for wetlands, while biomarkers represented a promising tool for achieving true “early warning” of potential pollutant impacts. Given further refinement and development, rapid methods of monitoring aquatic community assemblages were also considered potentially useful tools for the early detection of wetland degradation. Finally, to gain effective use from an early warning system for wetlands, its incorporation into an ecological risk assessment framework was recommended. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Using ecotoxicology data for marine organisms and U.S. EPA guidelines (1985, 1994), numerical criteria for TPH were derived. Acute and chronic toxicity data for marine organisms exposed to water-soluble fractions of oil products were obtained from published materials and the author's investigations. Out of 310 data reviewed and sorted, 82 data for the test temperatures of 20–32°C were selected and analyzed. The genus mean acute values (GMAV) were calculated for 15 animal genera belonging to the phyla Chordata, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Annelida. Plant values were obtained for six species of the algae classes Diatom, Chlorophyta and Dinophyta. The GMAVs ranged from 0.2 to 13.1 mg/L TPH. The considerable variability of data was attributed to differences in toxicity test designs. The EC50 values were adjusted by taking into account the fact that average test concentrations drop during courses of static-renewal and static toxicity tests. These adjustments resulted in a GMAV range of 0.2–5.2 mg/L with acceptable intergeneric variability. The final acute value derived as the fifth percentile of the set of 15 GMAVs for animals was in the range of 0.168–0.198 mg/L for the triangular, logistic, and normal distribution models. The advisory water quality criterion (AWQC) derived from these values was 0.007 mg/L. According to the criterion definition, to protect warm water marine organisms from unacceptable effects, an ambient concentration of TPH must not exceed AWQC of 0.007 mg/L. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The study focused on large volume discharges in the West Java Sea, Indonesia, which exhibit limited mixing in the receiving waters and can form “ponds” of elevated concentration as a result of variable hydrodynamic flows. A number of experiments and analyses have been conducted aimed at characterizing the effluent during the process of degradation. This information has been used to determine likely body residues in test organisms used in 96-h exposure toxicity tests. The data from the toxicity tests have been correlated with the predicted body residues to provide an approach [whole effluent toxicity (WET)] to evaluate likely mortality arising from a complex mixed effluent. This semiempirical approach has been used in an integrated physicochemical transport model where time-varying exposure concentrations can be simulated and the resulting uptake into biota modelled. This permits direct assessment of the risk posed by discharges. The toxicity test results show that, at concentrations of effluent commonly found in the receiving waters, some mortality may be encountered albeit at low levels, probably not exceeding 5%. These results are confirmed by the modelled mortality using the WET approach. The groups of compounds most likely to be contributing to the toxicity include the PAHs and phenols. Contributions from each group vary between different characterized effluents from different facilities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Further modification of the method may result in a most useful tool for screening purposes. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000The FDA hydrolysis method was both simple and rapid to perform. It gave comparable results to the PGI method for 3,5-dichlorophenol and an amphoteric surfactant, but FDA was an order of magnitude more sensitive to the anionic and nonionic and an order of magnitude less sensitive to the cationic surfactants tested. This apparent conflict emphasizes that the toxicity assessment of a chemical in the environment should not rely entirely on inherent toxicity tests. For terrestrial toxicity testing, interactions between chemical and soil should be taken into account in order to predict correctly the chemical's impact on the environment. For example, adsorption of cationics onto soil particles results in significantly higher concentrations of the chemical being needed in vivo to cause a toxic effect than that predicted by inherent toxicity tests. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000The use of soil suspensions in the FDA assay, rather than pure cultures of microorganisms, is a more realistic, but still indirect, test of a chemical's toxicity in soil.

The columns contained either soil artificially amended with specific PAH mixtures or contaminated soil from a site in Karlsruhe, Germany. In all cases, biodegradative processes led to the elimination of the original contaminants. This, however, was accompanied by a marked increase in genotoxic activity of the column effluents as determined by the MutatoxTM assay. Genotoxicity was practically abolished, however, when a surfactant was added to the percolating fluids. While in some cases the changes in genotoxicity were paralleled by toxicity (MicrotoxTM) data, in others the trend was opposite. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000It is concluded that when degradation is incomplete, the potential exists for toxicity and genotoxicity enhancement, with the latter hazard not always predictable by short-term toxicity assays.
