Abstract:Difenoconazole (DCZ) is a widely used triazole fungicide and negatively affects aquatic organisms and human health. However, data on the reproductive toxicity of DCZ are lacking. In this study, we used zebrafish (from 2–4 h postfertilization (hpf) to adulthood) as a model to evaluate whether DCZ at environmentally relevant concentrations (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 µg/L) induce reproductive toxicity. Following exposure to DCZ, egg production and fertilization rate were reduced at 1.0 and 10.0 µg/L. A significant decre… Show more
