Description
The present study highlights the utility of bioeffects-based monitoring in conjunction with analytical chemical measurements of surface waters on the Colorado River associated with a historically bioactive wastewater treatment plant effluent. Concurrent with chemical monitoring and in vitro bioactivity measurements, in situ caged fish systems were employed to evaluate the potential bioavailability of predicted biologically-active contaminants associated with ER, GR, and PPAR-associated activities. The present study compares the effects of a wastewater treatment plant facility upgrade on bioactive contaminant loading.
