Toxicity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics to aquatic organisms.
Toxicity tests were performed with seven fluoroquinolone antibiotics, ciprofloxacin, lomefloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, clinafloxacin, enrofloxacin, and flumequine, on five aquatic organisms. Overall toxicity values ranged from 7.9 to 23,000 microg/L. The cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa was the most sensitive organism (5-d growth and reproduction, effective concentrations [EC50s] rang...
متن کاملAcute toxicity of birch tar oil on aquatic organisms
Birch tar oil (BTO) is a by-product of processing birch wood in a pyrolysis system. Accumulating evidence suggests the suitability of BTO as a biocide or repellent in terrestrial environments for the control of weeds, insects, molluscs and rodents. Once applied as biocide, BTO may end up, either through run-off or leaching, in aquatic systems and may have adverse effects on non-target organisms...
متن کاملToxicity of anthelmintic drugs (fenbendazole and flubendazole) to aquatic organisms
Flubendazole (FLU) and fenbendazole (FEN) belong to benzimidazoles-pharmaceuticals widely used in veterinary and human medicine for the treatment of intestinal parasites as well as for the treatment of systemic worm infections. In recent years, usage of these drugs increased, which resulted in a larger contamination of the environment and possible negative effects on biota. Hence, in our resear...
متن کاملComparative Toxicity of Pyrethroid Insecticides to Terrestrial and Aquatic Insects
The acute toxicities of three pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin, cypermethrin, and bifenthrin) and one organophosphate insecticide (chlorpyrifos) were compared by topical application and static exposure to a variety of terrestrial and aquatic insects. Mayflies and damselflies were the most susceptible taxa tested by both exposure methods. The aquatic insects were generally more susceptible th...
متن کاملAcute cadmium toxicity studies upon nine species of aquatic insects.
Continuous-flow bioassays were employed to determine 96.hour median tolerance limits (TLm), for the stonefly. Pteronnrcrllu hadia (Hagen) (TLm was 18.0 mg Cd/l) and the mayfly, Ephemerella grundis grarzdis Eaton (TLm was 28.0 mg Cd/l). Ninety-six hours TLm values for other species of aquatic insects tested were not determined, since these species were relatively insensitive to cadmium. Insects ...
