In situ effects of urban river pollution on the mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum as part of an integrated assessment
Original language description
The freshwater mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) is sensitive to toxicity of both sediment and water and also to the endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC) at environmentally relevant concentrations. This study determined effects of in situ exposure of P. antipodarum as a part of a complex assessment of the impact of a city metropolitan area with large waste water treatment plant (WWtP) for 0.5 million population equivalents on two urban rivers. The study combined the in situ biotest with detailed chemical analyses and a battery of in vitro bioassays of both sediment and water. Passive sampling of river water was conducted during the course of exposure of the mudsnail. P. antipodarum was exposed for 8 weeks in cages permeable to sediment and water at localities up- and down-stream of the city of Brno, Czech Republic and downstream of the WWTP in two rivers. Greater mortality and significantly decreased embryo production of P. antipodarum were observed immediately downstream of the city
