Rapid assessment of the toxicity of aqueous solutions

Mamina Dinaj Halilovna

In recent years, biomonitoring techniques based on fluorescent methods are increasingly used to assess the state of the natural (and industrial, municipal) environment. The most modern, it is considered a fluorescent method for assessing the energy state of photosynthetic cells of higher plants. In this study (assessment) is used to determine the ratio of chlorophyll luminescence at a wavelength of 680 nm, reflecting the intensity of photosynthesis, to the luminescence of oxidized flavoproteins of mitochondria at a wavelength of 530 nm, characterizing the energy supply of cells due to internal reserves. Houseplants and plants that are easily grown in greenhouses and greenhouses can be used to assess (Express control) the toxicity (harmfulness) of aqueous solutions and the quality of atmospheric air. The most suitable (from available, easily grown and convenient for research) - feathers of green onions and juicy shoots (leaves)of a plant "Decembrist".
