Implementation of bioassays for water quality assessment

D42.1 Position paper(s) how bioassay derived data can be applied for water quality assessment

In vitro bioassays are techniques that promise great steps forward in drinking water security. The technique is based on engineered cells that show a reaction if the sample they are exposed to contains toxins. A wide range of in vitro bioassays has been applied for water quality assessment for:

WP4.2 Implementation of bioassays for water quality assessment

The objectives of this work package are:

To implement the selected and validated rapid toxicity screening panel at dedicated laboratories and the water utilities
To apply bioassays at demonstration studies, including performance and toxicity testing of water treatment processes at selected water utilities

The following tasks (with deliverables and milestones) are planned:
