Cocktails of persistent organic pollutants lead to behavioural and reproductive toxicity
Year: 2017
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chemicals that widely distributed in the environment and biota that could cause neurobehavioural and reproductive toxicity. As humans and animals are exposed to a complex mixture of POPs, not to a single compound, and chemicals are known to have additive, synergic and antagonistic effects in a mixture setting, it would be beneficial to evaluate the mixture effect. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the different parameters that could affect zebrafish behavioural activity, and evaluate the neurobehavioural and reproductive toxicity caused by a POP mixture in zebrafish larvae and maternally exposed mice, respectively.
