The possibility of chemical and biological activity has become more imminent sinceSeptember 11, 2001. An attack or threat toward various public places, monuments,businesses, and public utilities could yield detrimental results leading to massive loss oflife. This alone has raised the consciousness of many drinking water utilities promptingthem to take more precautionary measures. American Water has taken preventive steps topossibly initiate water monitoring of their systems in the event of possible chemicalcontamination. The DeltaTox instrument from Strategic Diagnostics and the Ecloxinstrument from Severn Trent Services are instruments used to provide rapid test methodsfor screening toxicity of environmental (water) samples.For this study, the DeltaTox and Eclox instruments were evaluated to assess theircapabilities. The first area is to establish a water system (Belleville Lab tap water)baseline, determine their sensitivities to various treatment chemicals and contaminantsand determine the effects of various water quality parameters on their systems. Includes 6 references, tables, figure.
