Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term genetic damage in crayfish exposed to pesticides, specifically penoxsulam, for 7 days and then observed for 70 days post-exposure.
- Findings revealed that penoxsulam caused DNA damage in various tissues with noted differences between genders; females were more affected in the gills while males showed more damage in organs like the hepatopancreas and gonads.
- Crayfish failed to recover from DNA damage induced by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), with spermatozoa identified as the most vulnerable, highlighting the need for comprehensive assessments in pesticide toxicity that consider different tissues and long-term impacts.
