“…The RC concept is defined as the condition in the absence of human disturbance that is used to describe the standard, or Ademollo et al, 2011;David et al, 2012;Chahinian et al, 2013 benchmark, against which the current condition of a stream is compared (Stoddard et al, 2006). The method for determining if a site is in RC is an important issue because the same metric cannot be used as both of the following: (i) the criterion to establish the RC and (ii) the criterion to validate if a site is in the RC (Stoddard et al, 2006).…”

The assessment of the ecological status of water bodies, as requires by the European Water Framework Directive, can raise a number of problems when applied to temporary streams. These problems are because of the particular physical, chemical and biological conditions resulting from the recurrent cessation of flow or even the complete drying of the stream beds. In such non‐permanent water bodies, the reference quality standards developed for permanent streams may only be applicable under certain circumstances or may not be applicable at all. Work conducted within the collaborative EU‐funded project Mediterranean Intermittent River ManAGEment (MIRAGE) has addressed most of these difficulties and has used diverse approaches to solve them. These approaches have been brought together in the so‐called MIRAGE Toolbox. This toolbox consists of a series of methodologies that are designed to be used in a sequential manner to allow the establishment of the ecological and chemical status of temporary streams and to relate these findings to the hydrological status of the streams. The toolbox is intended to serve the following purposes: (i) the determination of the hydrological regime of the stream; (ii) the design of adequate schedules for biological and chemical sampling according to the aquatic state of the stream; (iii) the fulfillment of criteria for designing reference condition stations; (iv) the analysis of hydrological modifications of the stream regime (with the definition of the hydrological status); and (v) the development of new methods to measure the ecological status (including structural and functional methods) and chemical status when the stream's hydrological conditions are far from those in permanent streams.

“…Octyltin is generally used as a PVC additive (food packing, PVC tubes, etc.) (Bancon-Montigny et al, 2004) and therefore could be leached from PVC products and released into the marine environment (Hoch, 2001;Chahinian et al, 2013;Shim et al, 1999).…”

“…The problem of contamination by organotin compounds and tributyltin has long been focused on the marine environment. However, the effective use of organotin compounds in many other industrial activities (e.g., the production of plastics), and their use as biocide in a wide range of domestic products (e.g., detergents, sponges, and textiles) has led to their detection in continental systems [8][9][10][11][12]. This has even led to the establishment of very low environmental quality standards (EQS) for TBT by the European Framework Directive including inland surface waters that encompass rivers and lakes).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effect of tributyltin (TBT) on the performance of suspended-growth biological processes. The influence of TBT was evaluated for (i) the endogenous and exogenous respirations of heterotrophic micro-organisms in laboratory-scale batch reactors, taken from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and (ii) chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, sludge production and oxygen consumption of a pilot-sale membrane bioreactor (MBR) system inoculated with heterotrophic micro-organisms taken from a MBR system. The batch experiments showed that the presence of TBT was likely to modify the activity of bacterial populations in endogenous conditions. The increase in endogenous oxygen needs suggested an increase in the maintenance requirements, essentially to manage the chemical stress induced by the presence of TBT. If the addition of TBT did not perturb COD removal in an MBR system, it limited sludge production and increased oxygen requirements; it is assumed that these modifications were linked with the necessity for the biomass to adapt in this stressful environment, as reflected by an increase in the maintenance requirements. These results emphasised that the respiratory activity of the bacterial cultures was modified by the presence of TBT, in the sense that an excess of oxygen was required to adapt to this chemical stress.
