Acute toxicity of chlorpyrifos and carbosulfan to glochidia of the freshwater mussel Hyriopsis bialata Simpson, 1900

Abstract

The acute toxicity of carbosulfan and chlorpyrifos in formulated pesticides to glochidia (larvae) of the freshwater mussel (Hyriopsis bialata Simpson, 1900) was evaluated under static conditions in moderately hard dechlorinated tap water. Measured pesticide concentrations were 26 to 34% lower than nominal concentrations; therefore, all results are expressed in terms of measured active ingredient. Carbosulfan was relatively non-toxic to the mussel larvae with median effective concentrations (EC50) of carbosulfan at 24 and 48 h greater than 0.10 mg/L. The EC50s of chlorpyrifos at 24 and 48 h were 0.083 and 0.078 mg/L, respectively (measured concentrations). The 48-h EC50 of a combined exposure to a mixture of chlorpyrifos and carbosulfan at a constant ratio of 2.9:1 was 0.0142:0.049 mg CP:CB/L. In a separate experiment, the effect of water hardness on carbosulfan, chlorpyrifos, or a combined exposure was assessed using glochidia exposed to either soft, moderately hard, or hard reconstituted water. There was no effect of water hardness on the survival of glochidia after 24- or 48-h exposure to carbosulfan. The chlorpyrifos 48-h EC50s in soft water, moderately hard water, and hard water were 0.18, 0.11, and 0.16 mg/L, respectively. The data indicate that the lowest water hardness resulted in the highest survival of glochidia, whereas an increase to moderate water hardness resulted in significantly decreased survival of glochidia (F = 15.5, P < 0.05). The EC50s of a combined exposure at 48 h in soft water, moderately hard water, and hard water were 0.124:0.044, 0.132:0.047, and 0.064:0.022 mg CP:CB/L, respectively. The data indicate that the combined toxicity was lowest at low and moderate water hardness, whereas an increase to high water hardness resulted in a significantly decreased survival of glochidia. After 48 h, the toxicity of the combined chlorpyrifos and carbosulfan exposure in soft and hard water was greater than that of chlorpyrifos alone.
