Abstract
A method of testing water to detect the presence of at least one chemical or biological warfare agent includes the steps of: a. exposing water to a measuring means for measuring photosynthetic activity of free-living indigenous photosynthetic organisms; b. measuring photosynthetic activity of indigenous photosynthetic organisms occurring naturally in the water to detect the presence of at least one chemical or biological warfare agent in the water.
