Biological testing (i.e., biomonitoring) is a major part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (US EPA) water quality-based approach to controlling toxic pollutants to the nation's waters. To meet our clients' needs, New England Bioassay currently performs a wide variety of toxicological investigations that include static, static-renewal, and flow-through test systems required by the Clean Water Act's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program.
The NPDES permit program controls water pollution by regulating point and non-point source discharges into waters of the United States. Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing is an important tool in detecting and addressing toxicity in surface waters.
New England Bioassay routinely performs the acute and chronic toxicity tests with both freshwater and marine vertebrates and invertebrates for industrial, municipal, and environmental engineering clients throughout the United States.
