The ISO 8692 standard specifies a method for the use of single-celled green algae for freshwater algae growth inhibition tests. The test aims to assess the impact of different contaminants in water quality on algae growth in the freshwater environment, in particular by measuring the growth inhibition of single-celled green algae to determine the ecological risk of harmful substances in the water body. The test helps to determine the toxic effects of contaminants on algae growth by observing the growth changes of green algae at different contaminant concentrations. This method is widely used in water quality monitoring and environmental threat and risk assessment, especially for assessing the potential harm of industrial emissions, pesticides and Miscellaneous chemicals to freshwater ecosystems.
