Abstract

BACKGROUND

To date, knowledge on how ILs (Ionic Liquids - as room-temperature molten salt) affect crustaceans is limited, especially effects over generations.

 

OBJECTIVE

To compared transgenerational effects of on Moina macrocopa:

  • [Omim]Cl: 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium chloride
  • [DPy]Cl: 1-dodecylpyridinium chloride

 

CONCLUSIONS

  • [Omim]Cl and [DPy]Cl exhibited high toxicity to M. macrocopa
  • Chronic exposure shortened its life expectancy, repress its body development, reduce its fecundity
  • Effects of [Omim]Cl recovered in 3 generations, but effects induced by [DPy]Cl continued
