Could you please introduce suitable references and reviews about the methods(any systems or organisms) for evaluation of the toxicity of organic micropollutants in WWTP effluent? and short summary how it happens?
Our usual and easiest method:
The Fathead Minnow possesses many qualities that make it an ideal test organism for toxicology studies- relative hardiness, a large number of offspring produced, tolerance of variable temperature, pH, salinity, and turbid low-oxygen water, fair tolerance of harsh conditions, and general adaptability to controlled experimentation.
Gary Joseph Ordog Thanks a lot for your reply. And this species could be useful for both Acute and chronic toxicity studies?

Kindly go through the following literature:

Thank you, very good. The EPA (or equivalent) has guidelines and handbook on this subject as well. That is a good reference.
