The possible effects of wastewater treatment products on mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were studied. Three common pollution biomarkers were used: neutral red retention assay, malondialdehyde contents and DNA damage through comet assay. Two groups of mussels were treated in the laboratory for 25 days with 20 and 40 %v/v of treated wastewater collected after chlorination, and the control mussels formed a third group. The results showed statistically significantly lower neutral red retention times, higher malondialdehyde contents and higher formation of single-stranded DNA fragments in the mussels exposed at both treated wastewater concentrations compared to the controls. HIGHLIGHTS Statistically significantly lower NRR times were found in exposed mussels compared to controls.; Statistically significantly higher MDA values were found in exposed mussels compared to controls.; Remarkable sensitivity of the haemocytes to the formation of single-stranded DNA fragments were observed in the mussels exposed at both biological sample purification samples compared to the control ones.; |
