Article Synopsis
- There is a significant knowledge gap regarding the impact and behavior of chemicals transported at sea, especially since regulations are mainly based on freshwater studies.
- Repetitive chemical spills from tankers in marine environments raise concerns about the reliability of existing data from freshwater ecosystems in predicting marine outcomes.
- The article reports on a study examining the biological effects of styrene on marine organisms, showing that significant DNA damage and lysosomal instability occurred in mussels and fish exposed to this chemical, supporting the need for biomarker-based health assessments in spill situations.
The single-cell microgel electrophoresis assay or the comet assay was used to evaluate DNA damage of dispersed crude oil on sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) and mussels (Mytilus edulis L.). Sea urchins were exposed to 0.
