Abstract:A microcosm experiment with natural community of meiofauna was performed to test the effects of the organochlorine pesticide Thiodan 35 EC (35% endosulfan) at concentrations more likely to reach the estuaries by the sugar cane crops runoff. A methodological proposal for microcosms was tested for tropical estuaries. The nominal concentrations (0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.35 and 0.55 µg.g -1 + control) and experimental times (0, 1, 4, 8 and 16 days) were adopted. Nominal and measured endosulfan conce… Show more
