At BQE Water, we conduct aquatic toxicity assessments to evaluate the potential environmental impact of contaminants in water, particularly in relation to mining and industrial wastewater. Aquatic toxicity refers to the harmful effects that pollutants—such as heavy metals, chemicals, or treated effluents—can have on aquatic organisms like fish, invertebrates, and algae. These assessments help us determine whether water discharged from treatment systems is safe for the environment. By studying both acute and chronic toxicity under controlled conditions, we can observe effects ranging from mortality to changes in growth and reproduction. This data is critical for regulatory compliance, environmental protection, and the continuous improvement of our water treatment solutions.
