- Title
Hazard Evaluation of Soil Contaminants with Aquatic Animals and Plant Toxicity Tests.

- Abstract
The article discusses the study regarding the evaluation of potential hazard in soil contaminants with aquatic animals and plant toxicity tests. The study is intended to evaluate the hazardous effect of contaminants, at an abandoned oil refinery upon aquatic ecosystems within the vicinity, which is situated at an old abandoned oil refinery located in Cyril, in Caddo County, Oklahoma. It was observed that rice had shown sensitivity to the refinery site soil, and thus, rice seeds could be used in the test battery employed for a hazardous waste site evaluation. Therefore, lethal and no effect concentrations of the wastes could be beneficial for site characterization, based from this study on short-term acute effects and partial chronic effects.
