Abstract

The benthic diatom Cylindrotheca closterium was exposed to whole-sediment spiked with the synthetic surfactant Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonate (LAS), as commercial mixture or individual homologues (C10-LAS, C11-LAS or C12-LAS). Separately, the diatoms were exposed to C12-LAS in a water-only system. The algal growth was determined after 72 h. The 72-h ErC50 values ranged from
