Like other organochlor-ines, DDT and its metabolites such as DDD and DDE, are highlylipophilic (log Kow= 6.91, 6.02, and 6.51, respectively) andresistant to degradation leading to their bioaccumulation andbiomagnification in the environment (ATSDR, 2002). While thereare numerous studies on DDT’...
It produces acute and chronic toxicity to both human beings and wildlife by bioaccumulation and biomagnification through the food chain. Tetrahymena is an excellent eukaryotic unicellular model organism particular well suited as an aquatic toxicity test system for toxicological and ecotoxicological studies. ...
