The evaluation of 5-fluorouracil toxicty on Corbicula striatella (Deshayes, 1830)

Abstract

The calculation of toxicity evaluation LC10 and LC50 values for 24 and 96 hours. In present study, the toxicity of 5- Fluorouracil on Corbicula striatella. It is allow that which is the increasing time of concentration, mortality rate will be increased. This investigation the accurate sources of their death is not known but it is proved that 5-Fluorouracil brings some changes in physiochemical properties of water and it affects the metabolic as well as physiological rate leading to the death of animals. The toxicity study provides the level of safe concentration of toxicant.
