The possibility of chemical and biological activity has become more imminent since September 11, 2001. An attack or threat toward various public places, monuments, businesses, and public utilities could yield detrimental results leading to massive loss of life. This alone has raised the consciousness of many drinking water utilities prompting them to take more precautionary measures. American Water has taken preventive steps to possibly initiate water monitoring of their systems in the event of possible chemical contamination. The DeltaTox instrument from Strategic Diagnostics and the Eclox instrument from Severn Trent Services are instruments used to provide rapid test methods for screening toxicity of environmental (water) samples. For this study, the DeltaTox and Eclox instruments were evaluated to assess their capabilities. The first area is to establish a water system (Belleville Lab tap water) baseline, determine their sensitivities to various treatment chemicals and contaminants and determine the effects of various water quality parameters on their systems. Includes 6 references, tables, figure.
