T/PSC 1.6-2022 Method for the detection of ballast water - Part 6: Biotoxicity
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the detection method for the acute toxicity of marine ballast water organisms. This document is applicable to the detection of the acute toxicity of marine ballast water organisms. Red, brown, or black water samples are not suitable for use in this document if the luminescence inhibition rate is not less than 80% without dilution; Main technical content: This standard utilizes the principle that the luminescence intensity of luminescent bacteria is negatively correlated with the total concentration of toxic components in water samples. Under certain time and conditions, the water samples are allowed to contact with the luminescent bacteria Vibrio fisheri, and the luminescence inhibition rate after 15 minutes of contact is measured using a bioluminescence photometer to characterize the acute toxicity level of the water samples. The main technical content includes sample collection, sample sampling, sample pretreatment, and the detection of the biological toxicity of water samples and reference toxins.
