The aim of this work was to determine the toxic effect of the most used herbicides on marine organisms, the bacterium Aliivibrio fischeri, and the crustacean Artemia salina. The effect of these substances was evaluated using a luminescent bacterial test and an ecotoxicity test. The results showed that half maximal inhibitory concentration for A. fischeri is as follows: 15minIC50 (Roundup® Classic Pro) = 236 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (Kaput® Premium) = 2475 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (Banvel® 480 S) = 2637 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (Lontrel 300) = 7596 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (Finalsan®) = 64 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (glyphosate) = 7934 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (dicamba) = 15,937 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (clopyralid) = 10,417 µg.l−1, 15minIC50 (nonanoic acid) = 16,040 µg.l−1. Median lethal concentrations for A. salina were determined as follows: LC50 (Roundup® Classic Pro) = 18 µg.l−1, LC50 (Kaput® Premium) = 19 µg.l−1, LC50 (Banvel® 480 S) = 2519 µg.l−1, LC50 (Lontrel 300) = 1796 µg.l−1, LC50 (Finalsan®) = 100 µg.l−1, LC50 (glyphosate) = 811 µg.l−1, LC50 (dicamba) = 3705 µg.l−1, LC50 (clopyralid) = 2800 µg.l−1, LC50 (nonanoic acid) = 7493 µg.l−1. These findings indicate the need to monitor the herbicides used for all environmental compartments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
