“…Published data indicate that the LCso values for phenol to Oncorhynchus mykiss ranged from 0.15 to 11.48 mg L -l (Dorward and Barisas, 1984;Qureshi et al, 1982;Phipps et al, 1984;Hunter, 1978;Grahl, 1983;Vittozzi and de Angelis, 1991). The toxic activity of formaldehyde to fishes was reported to be between 15 and 30 mg L -~ (Liebmann, 1960).…”

Abstract. The toxicity of pure phenol, formaldehyde, and industrial wastewater, containing phenol and formaldehyde, from a resin production plant was evaluated using aquatic organisms from different taxonomic groups. Test organisms included mixed bacterial culture, unicellular green algae Scenedesmus quadricauda (Turp.) Breb., crustacea Daphnia pulex de Geer (daphnids), and fish Oncorhynchus mykiss Call, 1990 (rainbow trout).Formaldehyde was found to be more toxic to the mixed bacterial culture (120h ECso = 34.1 mg L-L), algae (24h ECso = 14.7 mg L-I), and crustacea (48h ECso = 5.8 mg L -1) than phenol. Phenol proved to be more toxic to fish (48h LCso = 13.1 mg L -~) than to the mixed bacterial culture (120h EC.so = 510 mg L-I), algae (24h ECso = 403 mg L-I), and crustacea (48h ECso = 25 mg L-l). The toxicity of the industrial wastewater to the mixed bacterial culture, algae, and crustacea was caused mainly by formaldehyde, but for fish the presence of phenol in the wastewater proved to be the significant reason for toxicity. Differences in sensitivity of the selected test organisms were also observed, with fish and crustacea being the most sensitive species.

“…Our results were similar to those of [26] who assessed the 96h LC 50 value of commercial-grade malathion (50% EC) of freshwater teleost fish (Channa punctatus) at 5.93 ppm in a semi static system. Vittozi and De Angelis summed the 96 h LC 50 value of malathion toxicity to different spices of fish, ranging from 0.09 to 22.09 ppm [27]. According to U.S. EPA classification, toxins in this study were highly toxic.…”

Abstract-The acute toxicity of melathion (MAL), atrzine (ATR) and Cadmium (Cd) in zebrafish (Danio rerio) were investigated by acute toxicity (LC 50 ), and the results showed that the 96 h LC 50 followed the order: MAL>Cd>ATR. Furthermore, the accumulation of ecotoxicity in zebrafish body and correlated biochemical responses in brain and muscles were explored and it was found that MAL, ATR and Cd could be rapidly accumulated in fish body shortly after exposure. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in fish body increased after 96h exposure. The acute toxicity caused protein reduction in brain and muscles, and elevation of total lipid dry weight in fish body. Besides, some dose-dependent inhibition of AChE activity was found in brain and muscles of zebrafish exposed to higher concentrations of acute toxins. These can be employed in biomonitoring programs because they showed good correlation with toxins and were sensitive to different concentration patterns.

“…Studies carried out on the toxicity of endosulfan have shown that 96 h medium lethal concentration ) values vary by several orders of magnitude among fishes, ranging between 0.4 and 12.8 μg L −1 (Vittozzi and De Angelis 1991;Jonsson and Toledo 1993;Capkin et al 2006;Magesh and Kumaraguru 2006;Pandey et al 2006;Ballesteros et al 2007;Hii et al 2007;Tellez-Bañuelos et al 2009). Differences in sensitivity to endosulfan can be observed between different fish taxa.…”

Among the most extensively used compounds for the pest control in Argentinean crops is the organochlorine endosulfan. The sublethal effects of the commercial endosulfan formulation on hematology and lipid peroxidation (LPO) of the neotropical fish Prochilodus lineatus were investigated. Firstly, we calculated acute toxicity (LC 50 ) in order to define sublethal concentrations (0, 1.2, and 2.4 μg L −1 ). Hematological and oxidative stress responses were assessed at 24, 48, and 96 h. Endosulfan exposure significantly diminished the hemoglobin concentration, mean cell hemoglobin, and total plasma protein and increased white blood cells count and plasma glucose after 96 h. Exposed fish showed an alteration of the differential leukocytes count, evidenced by more thrombocytes and monocytes and less lymphocytes and neutrophils. Endosulfan increased LPO levels in intestine, liver, and brain in both sublethal concentrations. The present results suggest that endosulfan produces biochemical and physiological alterations, including immunological disorders, and it is a good inductor of oxidative stress in P. lineatus.
