Endocrine disruption in the pituitary of white sucker (Catostomus commersoni) caged in a lake contaminated with iron-ore mine tailings

Abstract: Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that white suckers caged in Lake Wabush, which receives a high volume of iron ore tailings, had significantly lower levels of growth hormone per pituitary area than fish caged in an adjoining reference lake, Lake Shabogamo. This demonstrates that the pituitary could be a target to consider in endocrine studies. The findings are also novel with respect to the ecotoxicological potential of mining effluents.

“…When the dam height of a large-scale tailings pond is greater than 100 meter, a mining accident could cause a substantial damage beyond earthquake [1]. Further, the finely ground tailings pollute water, soil property and air [2,3]. The dust cloud caused by tailings deteriorates the environment of surrounding area and living conditions [4,5].…”

“…When dam height of a large-scale tailings pond is greater than 100 meter, a mining accident could cause a substantial damage beyond earthquake [1]. Further, the finely grounded tailings pollute the source of water, soil property and air [2]. A tailing induced dust cloud harms the surrounding's dwelling environment and living condition [3].…”
