This diploma thesis deals with a use of algal test in ecotoxicology. A freshwater algae, Desmodesmus subspicatus, was used to asses the ecotoxicity of selected chemical substances. A spectrophotometry method, of VIS spectrum, was used in evaluation of the EC50. A correlation, between a number of algal cells and the wavelength absorbance at 683 nm, has been determined for this purpose. Following chemicals were tested, 2-[2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl]acetic acid, (RS)-2-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]propanoic acid and N-(4-hydro-xyphenyl)acetamide. An EC50 value was determined for all these substances and also their ecotoxicity has been evaluated.
