(x) indicates the relative tolerance for organic pollution with 5 being the highest level of tolerance
pollution index
microsterias
NI
a pollution index value is assigned only if the desnity of the alga per ml of lake water is
50 or greater
a score of (x) is evidence of high organic pollution
20 or greater
a score of (x) indicates the absence of organic pollution
15 or lower
lakes that are heavily polluted have (x) algal diversity
low
