39 State General laboratory Annual Report 2019  Determination of toxicity [Tap water: Microtox Test using Vibrio fischeri (EC10-TU10 measured at 5', 15' and 30' / Water from water refineries: {EC20-TU20 or (depending on the stage of the process) EC10-TU10 measured at 5', 15' and 30'}]. Also Thamnotox test using Thamnocephalus platyurus is applied on tap water and water from water refineries {LC50-TU50 measured at 24Hrs}) Surface and ground water (dams, rivers, freshwater, underground water, boreholes, salt lakes)  Chemical control (pH, Conductivity, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chromium, Zinc, Copper, BOD5, COD, Mercury, Cadmium, Lead, Nickel, Boron, Barium, Iron, Maganese, Cobalt, Arsenic, Total Phosphorus, Free Ammonium, Total Ammonium, Chlorides, Sulfates, Fluorides, Silicates, Total Hardness Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Nitrites, Total Alkalinity, Total residual chlorine, Suspended solids, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), VOCs, Pesticides, PAHs, Organic micro- pollutants, PCBs, Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and Nitrates)  Microbiological control (Total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Enterococci )  Determination of toxicity (Microtox Test using Vibrio fischeri (EC20-TU20 measured at 5', 15' and 30'), Daphtox Test using Daphnia magna (EC50-TU50 measured at 24 and 48 hours), Algaltox test using Pseudoklebsiella subcapitata (EbC50-TU50 measured at 72))  Environmental biomonitoring (Spectrophotometric determination of Chlorophyll α)  Radioactivity levels (Gamma Radionuclides, Gross a/b-activity, Uranium radioisotopes) Monitoring of the Ezousa and Akrotiri underground water  Chemical control (Nitrates, Total Phosphorous, Ammonium, TOC, Kjeldhal-N, BOD5, COD, total Nitrogen, Suspended solids, Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Trichloroethylene, Tetrachloroethylene, pesticides residues, organic pollutants)  Microbiological control ( Escherichia coli, Somatic coliphages )  Determination of toxicity (Microtox Test using Vibrio fischeri (EC20-TU20 measured at 5', 15' and 30'), Daphtox Test using Daphnia magna (EC50-TU50 measured at 24 and 48 hours), Algaltox test using Pseudoklebsiella subcapitata (EC50-TU50 measured at 72 hours) Seawater / Costal sea water  Chemical control (Chromium, Iron, Nickel, Copper, Cadmium, Zinc, Lead, Mercury)  Microbiological control ( Escherichia coli, Enterococci )  Radioactivity levels (Gamma Radionuclides)
