Toxicity of the pharmaceuticals finasteride and melengestrol acetate to the mayfly Hexagenia spp.

Toxicity of the pharmaceuticals finasteride and melengestrol acetate to the mayfly Hexagenia spp. The toxicity of pharmaceuticals finasteride (FIN) and melengestrol acetate (MGA) was assessed in chronic (42 days) sediment tests with the amphipod Hyalella azteca. Two tests were completed for each compound. Survival, growth, reproduction and sex ratio were assessed at the end of each test. 2022-01-24 Environment and Climate Change Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentAquatic animalsArthropodsBioassayToxicologyBiologyChemicalsFresh waterSedimentToxicityPharmaceuticalsFinasterideMelengestrol acetateMayflyHexagenia spp.New Substances Assessment and Control Bureau (NSACB)Chemical Management Plan (CMP) View ECCC Data Mart (English)HTML https://donnees-data.ec.gc.ca/data/substances/assess/toxicity-of-the-pharmaceuticals-finasteride-and-melengestrol-acetate-to-benthic-invertebrates/toxicity-of-the-pharmaceuticals-finasteride-and-melengestrol-acetate-to-the-mayfly-hexagenia-spp/?lang=en View ECCC Data Mart (French)HTML https://donnees-data.ec.gc.ca/data/substances/assess/toxicity-of-the-pharmaceuticals-finasteride-and-melengestrol-acetate-to-benthic-invertebrates/toxicity-of-the-pharmaceuticals-finasteride-and-melengestrol-acetate-to-the-mayfly-hexagenia-spp/?lang=fr
