| | From biological communities to chemical properties of river water |
 | | Chemical samples contain the measured values of 16 physical an chemical parameters: biological oxygen demand (BOD), chlorine concentration (Cl), CO2 concentration, electrical conductivity, chemical oxygen demand COD (K2Cr2O7 and KMnO4), concentrations of ammonia (NH4), NO2, NO3 and dissolved oxygen (O2), alkalinity (pH), PO4, oxygen saturation, SiO2, water temperature, and total hardness. |
 | | The models for the most important indicators of pollution (ammonia, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand) had the best predictive power. |
 | | The problem of inferring the chemical properties from the biota is practically relevant, especially in countries where extensive biological monitoring is conducted. |
