Article Synopsis
- Isothiazolinones, particularly chloro- and methyl-isothiazolinones (CMIT and MIT), are commonly used biocides in various products but are known irritants, raising concerns about their environmental impact.
- This study evaluates the acute toxicity of CMIT/MIT and MIT on Daphnia pulex, a freshwater organism, while accounting for genetic diversity by using different clonal lines to assess variations in sensitivity.
- The results show significant differences in toxicity responses among clonal lines, suggesting that standard ecotoxicity tests using single clones may not accurately reflect the ecological risks posed by these chemicals.
