Pollutants as developmental toxicants in aquatic organisms. [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 1987
Pollutants, by disrupting metabolic processes, can interfere with development, and, at critical periods of development, can act as teratogens. Such interference with normal development can be used as a bioassay. Some screening tests are based on this phenomenon. As teratogens, pollutants are fairly nonspecific.
