Abstract

In this study, the ecotoxicological effects of a selected OSB material on three model plants (green freshwater algae Desmodesmus subspicatus, duckweed Lemna minor, and seeds of lettuce Lactuca sativa) were tested. A 24 h and 168 h leachate of the same OSB material was prepared. Mg, Si, Ca, K, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Na were found in the samples. Their higher residues were measured in the 168 h leachate. Biogenic elements (N, P, C) were not detected. The acute effect was relatively slow (for algae up to 26%, for duckweed up to 20%, and for lettuce seeds with stimulation up to 37%). Prolongation of the leaching time did not show any effect on the results of the plant tests. Acute toxicity for the three plant species used was slow.
