Abstract – The paper deals with the results of studying toxic effects of hydrolyzed lignin on laboratory test models, i.e. egg masses of the great pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis L., earthworm Eisenia foetida, population of single-celled organism Tetrahymena pyriformis W., as well as seeds of cucumber, radish, and oats. Overall, the obtained results show that the studied wastes of lignin have little adverse effect on the biotic elements of the environment.
Keywords: hydrolyzed lignin, suppression of hatching, biotesting, phytotoxicity, environmental toxicity.
