    Notes: Abstract The quality control for the reuse of cleaned soil from a contaminated site consisted in the determination of the main contaminants by analytical chemical methods such as GC and HPLC. Since it is not possible to analyze for all contaminants a toxicity test should be used to detect large concentrations of not routinely analyzed chemicals. The aim of the study was to develop a system for toxicity testing, which should be able to predict the toxicity of soil samples based on the concentration of chemicals in the soil and to detect toxic chemicals not analyzed by the routinely conducted soil analysis. Based upon the relative sensitivity to various contaminants as well as practical aspects such as test duration and costs the Microtox® test was favoured over the bioassays with Daphnia magna and Scenedesmus subspicatus. The Microtox® test was used to measure the toxicity of various pesticides and their major metabolites. The toxicity data of the pure compounds were used to predict the toxicity (EC50 and % inhibition of the bioluminescence reaction) of defined mixtures of chemicals in water by applying two different mathematical appriaches which are based on the additivity of the effects of the single chemicals. The predicted values were compared with the experimental data and showed good agreement. In order to be able to predict the toxicity of soil samples using the Microtox® test the soil/water partition coefficient (K d) was measured for the main contaminants. The toxicity of soil samples was predicted by calculating the concentration of the contaminants in the leachate by using the corresponding concentration in the soil and applying the K d values determined. From the calculated composition of the leachate the expected toxicity was estimated. This value was compared with the toxicity experimentally determined in the Microtox® test.
