Assessment of coal dust particles influence on marine mollusk Modiolus modiolus

Effects of coal microparticles on marine organisms: A review

“…Another experiment was devoted to determining the toxic effect of coal particles up to 10 μm size on hemocytes of Modiolus modiolus mollusks at concentrations from 1 to 1000 mg/L for 6 h, and the number of alive cells in comparison with the control remained approximately the same at all concentrations. At the same time, a decrease in enzyme activity and partial depolarization of membranes under the exposure of coal particles were recorded [ 126 ].…”
