Oil spill dispersant toxicity on fish and molluscs.
The present study is dealing with test toxicity of dispolene 32S (oil spill dispersant) on three species of fishes (Mugil ramada, Atherina hepsetus, Aphanius fasciatus ) and two species of molluscs (Mytilus galloprovincialis and Tapes decussatus ). Determination of LC-10 and LC-90, respectively, the lethal concentration, which kills 10%, 50% and 90% of test organisms in 24 hours, shows that the dispolene 32S is very toxic and can be considered harmful even when used at low level.
