Effects of persistent organic pollutants on Caenorhabditis elegans in soil.

Original language description

Nematodes are very abundant and fundamental group of soil organisms and non-parasitic species are important for soil quality. In last years nematode species were established as very suitable organisms for toxicity testing. Nematode toxicity tests have been referred as less demanding to place and time compared with other soil testing organisms and comparably sensitive. Even there is arising importance of soil contamination with persistent organic pollutants (POPs), they have never been broadly tested forsoil nematode toxicity. In our study, Caenorhabditis elegans soil bioassay was used for testing toxicity of six selected POPs: four aza-PAHs (industrial by-product), toxaphene (pesticide), and short chain chlorinated paraffin (industrial product). Thiscan help to broaden ecotoxicological profiles of these chemicals. Most of the compounds didn't show toxicity until environmentally irrelevant concentrations.
