not specified

Test conditions

Hardness:
- total hardness 55.2 mg/l CaCO3,   containing (all in mg/l) COD <1, P <0.01, total Hg <0.0005, Cu <0.01,  Cd <0.001, Zn <0.01, Pb <0.005, Al 0.03, Ni <0.02, total Cr <0.02, soluble Mn <0.005, Sn <0.03, soluble Fe <0.03, CN- <0.01, free Cl <0.01, Br- <0.5, F- 0.45, S2- <0.01, NH4+ <0.01, As <0.001, Se <0.001, Na 53, K 4.9, Ca 16, Mg 3.3, total chlorinated pesticides <0.00002, total organophosphorus pesticides <0.001, PCB <0.0005. Total hardness was determined in the incubation media several times during the assays and was found to be 60-80 mg/l
