Ecotoxicological evalution of agents based surfactants.
Doležalová, Šárka ; Vávrová, Milada (referee) ; Zlámalová Gargošová, Helena (advisor)
The surfactants have become a common part of everyday human life. For their properties they are used as aditive components of foam extinguishers used in large quantities for area fires fighting. This thesis deals with the ecotoxicological evaluation of commercially available fire-fighting agents Sthamex F 15, Moussol APS F 15, Finiflam F 15, Expyrol F 15 and Pyrocool B, which are made on the basis of surfactants. In the framework of this thesis the ecotoxicological effects of selected extinquishing agents were assessed through aquatic ecotoxicity tests with organisms Thamnocephalus platyurus, Daphnia magna, dicotyledonous plants Lemna minor and white mustard seeds Sinapis alba. Via tests of contaminated soils leachate the effect of soil sorption complex on the ecotoxicological effects was evaluated. Extinguishing agents were further considered in terms of acute ecotoxicity for soil organism via ecotoxicological tests in the contact arrangement using earthworm Eisenia fetida and lettuce seeds Lactuca sativa. To assess the influence of biodegradation under different conditions on ecotoxicological effects the seed germination tests of L. sativa were conducted with hindsight. According to the results of the individual tests this work discuss the need for further evaluation of the negative influence of selected agents, while paying special attention to legislative measures.
