The Laboratory for Ecotoxicological Studies (ECOTOX) of IRET evaluated the following toxicity tests: Daphnia magna (daphnia test), Hydra attenuata (hydra test), Allium sp. (onion test), Panagrellus redivivus (nematode test), Lactuca sativa (seed test), and the Fluctuation kit. Selection criteria were that the tests should be sensitive to a range of different toxicants, reliable, and preferably of low cost. The tests were evaluated for their reproducibility and sensitivity with 24 blind samples which contained metals, pesticides, and other organic compounds. The hydra, seed, and onion tests were more reproducible when evaluated with a set of samples of a mixture of cadmium and metolachlor. Daphnia and hydra were the most sensitive organisms...
