Abstract
The toxicity of the antifouling biocides Irgarol 1051, Diuron, Chlorothalonil, Dichlofluanid, Sea-nine 211, Copper pyrithione, Zinc pyrithione, Ziram and Zineb were evaluated on Nitzschia pungens and Artemia larvae. Results showed that EC50 for Irgarol 1051 was 0.586 μg lâ 1 was the strongest effect on N. pungens following by Copper pyrithione (4.908 μg lâ 1), Ziram (5.421 μg lâ 1), Zinc pyrithione (5.513 μg lâ 1), Diuron (6.640 μg lâ 1), Zineb (232.249 μg lâ 1), Sea-nine 211(267.368 μg lâ 1), Chlorothalonil (360.963 μg lâ 1) and Dichlofluanid (377.010 μg lâ 1) in 96 h. In Artemia larvae, the biocides were evaluated the LC50 for larval survivals at 48 h. Sea-nine 211 and Copper pyrithione were 0.318 and 0.319 mg lâ 1. Chlorothalonil, Zinc pyrithione and Ziram were 2.683, 3.147 and 4.778 mg lâ 1. Irgarol 1051, Diuron, Zineb and Dichlofluanid were 9.734, 30.573, 41.170 and 154.944 mg lâ 1. These results provide baseline data concerning the toxicity of antifouling biocides against marine environment.
