title: Effects of atmospheric pollution on Paramecium sp. cells.
abstract: The toxicity level of heterocyclic compound fractions obtained from dust in Silesia for Paramecium primaurelia was studied. For the estimation of their toxicity a special scale elaborated for this material was used. It was found that the level of toxicity of investigated fractions differed, depending on the sampling place and season of the year.
