Abstrakt:	This article presents a study which deals with the relationship of chemical-based effluent regulations of Korea to aquatic toxicities to microbes, macroinvertebrates, and fish. The Permissible Wastewater Discharge Standards of Korea describe maximum allowable concentrations of a total of 28 items which include a number of heavy metals, organic contaminants, physicochemical parameters, and a few water quality parameters. The focus of water quality management in Korea is moving toward protection of aquatic ecosystems. The study conducts acute and chronic toxicity assays employing microbes, macroinvertebrates, and fish for a specific group of wastewater samples of which the contaminants' profiles are rather similar.
