Aniline is used in a number of manufacturing processes, which is recognized as a serious environmental contamination and is marked as one of the priority pollutants. The toxic effects of aniline on the four freshwater algae were investigated. The results showed that the concentration for 50% reduction (EC50) of aniline in the four species of freshwater algae (C.reinhardtii, E.gracilis, N.pelliculosa, S.leopoliensii) were 70mg/L, 37mg/L, 6.3mg/L, 1.0mg/L after culturing 96h at 25±1℃, respectively. The susceptibility of the four freshwater alga...
