Effects of lindane, DDT, DDD, α-HCH, and PCB on carp gonad cell culture

Abstract

Toxicity of DDT, DDD, α-HCH, lindane, and PCB was assessed from cytotoxic effects in a carp gonad primary cell culture exposed for 96 h to concentrations of 1; 0.5: 0.1; 0.05; and 0.01 mg 1-1 of each compound. The 0.01 mg 1-1 concentration of the compounds tested was found to bring forth no cytopathologic changes. The remaining concentrations differ in their cytotoxic effects, depending on a compound testes.
