Monochloramine (NH2Cl) is the strongest toxic substance resulting from chlorinated sewage effluent. To estimate of NH2Cl on the growth of organisms in coastal region, disappearance of NH2Cl in seawater was investigated.Changes concentration of NH2Cl and total oxidant in artificial seawater were determined. The concentration of NH2Cl decreased with time and reached to 20% of the initial concentration after 6 hour at 30°C. On the other hand, 90% of the initial concentration of total oxidant was detected after disappearance of NH2Cl. The rate constant of NH2Cl disappearance was not concerned in the initial concentration at constant temperature. Disappearance of NH2Cl depended on water temperature, and the rate constant followed the Arrhenius equation. The rate constant and half-life value at 20°C for NH2Cl in seawater were 0.031 h-1 and 10 h. These results suggested that the effluent contained NH2Cl would be enough to effect on coastal organism until its disappearance. NH2Cl disappearance depended on salinity. However, NH2Cl in artificial seawater without KBr was stable even in the same condition. It was clear that the disappearance factor of NH2Cl was in existence of Br-. NH2Cl changed to the other oxidant with Br-, therefore, the product which may act on organisms still remained in seawater after disappearance of NH2Cl.

In the short-term bioassay using Porphyra yezoensis conchospores, it is basically important to clarify the most appropriate exposure period and end point to evaluate the effects of toxicants on the growth of Porphyra yezoensis conchospores. In this study, short-term bioassays (120 hours) were conducted on copper (Cu) and monochloramine (NH2Cl), which have different chemical characteristics. Three kinds of end points (survival ratio, germination ratio and growth ratio) at exposure periods every 24 hours were compared to define the most appropriate exposure period and end point.The minimum LOECs (lowest-observed-effect concentration) for Cu occurred at exposure period of 96 hours in the three kinds of end points. The 96-h LOECs from the survival ratio, the germination ratio and the growth ratio were 0.046 ± 0.026mg Cu·l-1 (n=5), 0.033 ± 0.027mg Cu·l-1 (n=5), 0.021 ± 0.019mg Cu·l-1 (n=5), respectively. The minimum LOECs for NH2Cl occurred at exposure period of 96 hours in the survival ratio and the growth ratio of 0.093 ± 0.026mg Cl2·l-1 (n=5) and 0.038 ± 0.016mg Cl2·l-1 (n=5), respectively. The minimum LOEC (0.036 ± 0.000mg Cl2·l-1, n=5) for NH2Cl from the germination ratio occurred at the exposure period of 48 hours.Therefore, taking into account of the simplicity of bioassay and its sensitivity to toxicants, it is concluded that the most appropriate exposure period and end point is 96 hours for Cu and 48 hours for NH2Cl judging from the end point of the germination ratio.
