Abstrakt: | With the widespread utilization of the sanitizing product benzethonium chloride (BEC) throughout the coronavirus pandemic, concerns have emerged regarding its potential hazards. Nevertheless, the long-term and multigenerational toxic effects of BEC on aquatic organisms remains unexplored. This study investigates acute and chronic toxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP concentrations, and gene expression using Daphnia carinata as the model organism. Meanwhile, hierarchical clustering analysis was utilized to investigate phenotypic effects among different treatment groups. The integrated biomarker response index version 2 (IBRv2) was employed to estimate the deviation in toxic effects over two generations. These results indicated that D. carinata in the second generation exhibited higher survival rate and lower levels of oxidative stress than the first generation. However, the higher sublethal effects were found in the second generation as follows, the weakened growth performance, mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, reduced ATP concentrations, and down-regulated gene expression. The mitochondrial toxicity induced by BEC may account for the distinct toxic effects exhibited in two generations. The findings here can assist with the evaluation of potential risk for BEC on aquatic organisms, and provide new insight into the cross-generational toxicity mechanisms of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems.
