| Abstract | Chemical pollution of the aquatic environment is nowadays characterised by increasing levels of anthropogenic organic compounds at low concentrations and is recognised as one of the main drivers of the deteriorated ecological state of European waterbodies. To improve the understanding of the impact of chemical pollution in surface waters, a combined approach of chemical and bioanalytical testing is considered necessary for effective ecologically oriented water management. For this dataset, six 25-L water samples were collected at six sampling sites along the Holtemme River in Central Germany using large-volume solid phase extraction. All samples were analysed by targeted high-resolution liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) and a selected bioanalytical test battery using effect-based methods. These methods included cytotoxicity assessment, several mechanism-specific CALUXⓇ tests to identify endocrine and oxidative stress-related effects and the fish embryo acute toxicity test to investigate (sub)lethal effects in the model species Danio rerio. This approach provided a dataset that offers a longitudinal characterisation of the chemical pollution and ecotoxicological impacts. The combination of chemical analysis and effect-based analysis is valuable for future studies as it will help researchers, risk assessors and authorities to identify hot spots of chemical pollution, monitor environmental quality standards and recommend mitigation strategies. |
