“…In all studies, DNA damage assessment was conducted on coelomocytes – hemocytes of the annelids that can be recovered from the coelomic fluid with non-invasive techniques by submerging the organism in ethanol 5% saline solution that might be integrated with the chelating agent EDTA and the mucolytic agent guaiacol or similar. The studies explored the potential genotoxic effect of a broad set of chemicals including as insecticides Cyantraniliprole ( Qiao et al, 2019 ), Acetamiprid ( Li B. et al, 2018 ), Neonicotionoids ( Chevillot et al, 2017 ), Imidacloprid ( Wang et al, 2016 ), Spirotetramat ( Zhang et al, 2015 ), Thiacloprid ( Feng et al, 2015 ), and Guadipyr ( Wang et al, 2015 ) that represented the most numerous, followed by fungicides Pyraclostrobin ( Ma et al, 2019 ), Fluoxastrobin ( Zhang et al, 2018 ), Tebuconazole ( Chen et al, 2018 ), and a smaller set referred to herbicides Tribenuron ( Chen et al, 2018 ) and Mesotrione ( Li X. et al, 2018 ) or general pesticides including Polychlorinated biphenyls ( Duan et al, 2017 ) and natural toxins used as biofumigants ( Fouché et al, 2016 ) and copper sulfide ( Mincarelli et al, 2019 ) that is one of the few chemical treatments allowed in organic farming. In all studies, synthetic compounds were studies at increasing doses of exposure normally below 10 mg/kg of soil, with the exception of the insecticide Guadipyr ( Wang et al, 2015 ) that was used between 10 and 100 mg/kg of soil.…”
