Bioassay battery interlaboratory investigation of emerging contaminants in spiked water extracts – Towards the implementation of bioanalytical monitoring tools in water quality assessment and monitoring

Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are a widely distributed group of microscopic, unicellular algae that are characterized by siliceous cell walls (frustules). The size, shape and sculpturing of diatom frustules are taxonomically diagnostic. Moreover, because of their siliceous composition, diatoms are often well preserved in stratigraphic deposits, where they can be used to infer (quantitatively or qualitatively) past environmental conditions. The sensitivity of diatoms to a wide variety of environmental variables provides geographers with a multitude of research opportunities. This review focuses on palaeoecological reconstructions that are based on freshwater diatoms. Geographical applications including studies of climatology, hydrology, geomorphology, bio geography, and water-quality assessment and monitoring are discussed.

The main characteristics of the Danube which passes through the following eight European countries (Fed. Rep. of Germany, Austria, CSSR, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria and Russia) are described. International cooperation and activities include the work of: a) “Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft Donauforschung” b) ECE (Declaration of Policy on the Rational Use of Water; Long Term Perspectives for Water Use and Supply in the ECE Region) c) cooperation within the “International Hydrological Program” resulting in the preparation of a Hydrological Monography (part I: Precipitation and Discharge; part II: Water Quality Assessment of the Danube). Some of the specific problems encountered in the Danube Countries are discussed.
