hmm. this sounds like a very interesting experiment. a few contaminants could be… well like if they are laid in salt water do a high and low concentration of it, also try diffrent temps too. you could try to change the PH levels as well. i am not fully sure how to do this, probobly should talk to someone with a pool. Also gasoline, like 1 drop per qrt. also oil, im just thinking about polutants now. Im sure you will find some good ones. good luck

Artemia Salina or brine shrimp can be affected, by dissolved oxygen in the water, salinity, temperature, bacterial growth, oil, gas, pesticides, fertilizers, chlorine, detergents,alcohol etc…

Mercury too.
Gasoline is dangerous to use since it is volatile. Not only that, but you have to dispose of gasoline contaminated aquarium water. It also evaporates and does not dissolve into water easily. For that sake, neither does motor oil.
To get some contaminated water, see if there is a gas station close by and get some water from one of their monitoring wells. It will probably kill your fish since it is not a natural fish bearing water.
this assumes that the water is indeed contaminated with BTEX.
