A grass shrimp bioassay was carried out on sediments from three estuarine stations which were different distances from a highway storm drain. Total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were 29, 1.5 and 0.1 microg/g sediment at stations A (next to drain), B (100 m from drain) and C (500 m from drain), respectively. Lower embryo production and embryo hatching rates and a higher level of DNA strand breaks (comet assay) were observed in grass shrimp exposed to stations A and B sediments. There appeared to be an association between reproduction abnormalities and increased DNA strand breaks as a result of grass shrimp exposure to estuarine sediments receiving highway runoff.
对来自三个河口站点的沉积物进行了草虾生物测定,这三个站点与一条公路雨水排放口的距离各不相同。在A站(靠近排放口)、B站(距离排放口100米)和C站(距离排放口500米),沉积物中多环芳烃(PAH)的总浓度分别为29、1.5和0.1微克/克。在接触A站和B站沉积物的草虾中,观察到胚胎产量和胚胎孵化率较低,以及DNA链断裂水平较高(彗星试验)。草虾接触受公路径流影响的河口沉积物后,繁殖异常与DNA链断裂增加之间似乎存在关联。
