| Abstract | Success of remediation of polluted leachates, groundwater or of other contaminated water bodies is usually controlled via physical and or chemical analysis. The reduction of the main contaminants at a certain remediation site is usually the leveling board for the estimation of remediation success. Because the main contaminants dominant in mass balances do not have to be the main toxic substances in a complex contaminated water body, control of successful remediation may also include the use of bioassays to test for the reduction of toxicity. As remediation techniques might change in their efficiency over time, this change in efficiency of a remediation technique in question is usually supervised via laborious discontinous physical, chemical or biological analysis. Here, a on line biomonitoring project is presented, which is part of the SAFI RA project aimed to develop and test high efficiency and low energy/ low cost techniques to remediate complex contaminated groundwater in Bitterfeld, Germany (SAFIRAhttp:// safira.pro.ufz.de/). On line biomonitor techniques are used as a tool for measuring the efficiency or change of efficiency of different techniques in a real-time mode. Advantages and limits of on line biomonitors using luminescent bacteria are discussed in consideration of remediation goals. |
