Abstract:

To monitor contaminations including nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metal, pesticide and other organic dangerous substance in water-environment, the author researched on the sensitivity and tolerance of aquatic algae to pollutants in water, the pollutants’ influence on the structures of algal communities and their toxicity and accumulation to the algae were proceeding and plenty of results were published.
