Popis: Industrial operations such as surface mining, road building, and aggregate washing result in high concentrations of suspended particles (Total Suspended Solids; TSS) in surface waters which must be treated prior to discharge into fish-bearing waters. A common industrial practice is to add flocculants to improve the efficacy and speed of TSS sedimentation. A significant environmental issue even small amounts of uncomplexed cationic polymer coagulant/flocculant remaining in treated water is highly toxic to fish at very low concentrations (LC
