[Analysis of the effect of selected polymers on morphodynamic features of cells in Blepharisma undulans].
The studies presented enable to evaluate the survival rate of the protozoa in contact with the studied polymers (foils: with polyethylene PE, polyvinyl chloride P-25, P-47, polyester E1 and irradiated collagen L7). It can also be established whether the change of certain morphodynamic parameters could be used to evaluate biological usefulness of plastics. Stereometric method and factor analysis were used in the studies. On the basis of the obtained data polyvinyl chloride P-47 was well assessed, while irradiated collagen L7 showed most negative features.
