Water quality -- Evaluation of genotoxicity by measurement of the induction of micronuclei -- Part 1: Evaluation of genotoxicity using amphibian larvae
This part of ISO 21427 specifies a method for assessing genotoxicity using Amphibia larvae (Xenopus laevis and Pleurodeles waltl). The provisions specific to Pleurodeles are described in Annex A. The method is applicable to: ⎯ aqueous effluents; ⎯ aqueous leachates; ⎯ eluates of soils; ⎯ eluates of industrial waste; ⎯ eluates of sludges from sewage treatment; ⎯ surface and ground water; ⎯ water-soluble substances.
