“…They rapidly reflect changing PCB levels in the water and, therefore, are used to monitor aquatic PCB pollution (O’Rourke et al 2004, Takabe et al 2011, Tanabe et al 1987, Wang et al 2010a). The rapid change in PCB levels in mussels is due to the large gill surface to volume ratio (Morrison et al 1995).…”

Nineteen PCBs (chiral or C-PCBs) exist as two stable rotational isomers (atropisomers) that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. C-PCBs are released into the environment as racemic (i.e., equal) mixtures of both atropisomers and undergo atropisomeric enrichment due to biological, but not abiotic processes. In particular toxicokinetic studies provide important, initial insights into atropselective processes involved in the disposition (i.e., absorption, distribution, biotransformation and excretion) of C-PCBs. The toxicokinetic of C-PCBs is highly congener and species dependent. In particular at lower trophic levels, abiotic processes play a predominant role in C-PCB toxicokinetics. Biotransformation plays an important role in the elimination of C-PCBs in mammals. The elimination of C-PCB follows the approximate order mammals > birds > amphibians > fish, mostly due to a corresponding decrease in metabolic capacity. A few studies have shown differences in the toxicokinetics of C-PCB atropisomers; however, more work in needed to understand the toxicokinetics of C-PCBs and the underlying biological processes. Such studies will not only contribute to our understanding of the fate of C-PCBs in aquatic and terrestrial food webs, but also facilitate our understanding of human exposures to C-PCBs.

Organochlorine is a synthetic pesticide that has been banned in many countries because of its high persistence in the environment and can accumulate in animals. The goal of our study was to determine the level of organochlorine residues in surface water and in the mussel Corbicula sumatrana of Lake Singkarak. Water and mussel samples were collected from 10 sampling sites of Lake Singkarak, Batu Taba, Sumpur, Guguk Malalo, Ombilin, Tikalak, Sumani, Saniang Baka, Muaro Pingai, Paninggahan, and Tanjung Mutuih, respectively in June 2021. Water and mussel samples were extracted and analyzed with gas chromatography. The result of our study revealed the occurrence of Lindan (7 μg/L) in the surface water of Tikalak, and also Aldrin (3 μg/L) in the surface water of Tikalak, Sumani, and Ombilin. Organochlorine residue compounds were also detected in mussels of five sampling sites (Tikalak, Sumani, Muaro Pingai, Paninggahan, and Tanjung Mutuih). Mussels of Tikalak contain compounds namely Dieldrin, Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), and Endosulfan with levels of 2 μg/kg, 6 μg/kg, and 3 μg/kg, respectively. Dieldrin was also detected at Sumani (2 μg/kg), Muaro Pingai (4 μg/kg), and Paninggahan (10 μg/kg). DDT was also detected at Tanjung Mutuih at a level of 3 μg/kg. Other compounds such as Heptachlor and Endrin were not detected both in surface water and in mussel from all sampling sites studied. The results indicate that organochlorine residue can still be found in the environment, with its level in mussels being higher than in surface water.

“…Corbicula a kind of sediment-dwelling bivalve exists in worldwide [5]. Clam is physiologically well adapted to unstable, unpredictable habitats such as drainage systems, waters receiving agricultural and industrial pollution, urban waste, and discharges from mines and is an efficient seston feeder that is capable of filtering up to 2.5 L water/h [6].…”

ThoughC. flumineais always used as a biomonitor to evaluate the aquatic environment, the adaptive mechanism to chromium is far from clear. In this paper, an acute toxicity experiment was conducted to study the alterations in Cr accumulation, nutrient uptake and oxidative response inCorbicula flumineaexposed to Cr6+. Cr content increased inC. flumineawith the increase of exterior Cr6+concentration while the Cr bioaccumulation factor decreased. The Cr6+application disturbed the uptake of Zn, P, Cu, Fe, and Mn content. Increased malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreased catalase activity were detected in whole body, mantle, viscera and pleopod. The MDA accumulation in these organs is in sequence, viscera > mantal > whole body > pleopod, suggesting viscera is more sensitive to Cr than other organs. The results also indicate that Cr6+stress disturbs the balance of nutrient uptake and causes the lipid peroxidation inC. fluminea.
