Popis: The present study used a bioassay of immobilized microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) via direct contact to assess the toxicity of eleven uncontaminated (reference) and five field contaminated soils with various physicochemical properties and contamination. Photosynthetic oxygen concentration in the headspace of the test kit by Chlorella vulgaris in the reference soils ranged between 12.93% and 14.80% and only 2.54%-7.14% in the contaminated soils, respectively. Inherent test variability (CV
