Popis: Ketoconazole (KTZ), a broad-spectrum fungicidal drug, has been a significant problem in recent decades due to its toxic action on non-target aquatic organisms. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate determine the effects that environmental relevant concentration of the commercial formulation of KTZ can exert on benthic macroinvertebrates, more specifically on larvae of the insect Chironomus sancticaroli. Acute toxicity tests with KTZ indicated lethal concentration (LC
