Abstract
The purpose of the research is to determine the toxicity of domestic wastewater after mechanical and biological treatment and the potential possibility of their use for irrigation. The toxicity of treated wastewater from wastewater treatment plants (Kadamovskiye WWTP) in Novocherkassk by the method of biotesting on different test objects – infusoria (Paramecium caudatum), green protococcal algae chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris Beijer), white mustard seeds (Sinapis alba) is evaluated. Laboratory studies were carried out in the accredited ecological and analytical laboratory of the Federal State Budgetary Institution «RosNIIPM». The results of biotesting at the chlorella test object showed that the treated household wastewater does not have a toxic impact. Biotesting at the infusoria test object determined only the toxic impact of wastewater after biological treatment. The length of the white mustard seed roots in wastewater after mechanical and biological treatment is above 120%, compared with the control, which proves the stimulant effect of these waters. So, according to the results of biotesting domestic wastewater after mechanical treatment from the Kadamovskiye WWTP in Novocherkassk can be potentially used for irrigation. According to the research results, wastewater after biological treatment «has a toxic impact», which causes their use for irrigation only after additional treatment.
