Multiscale Effects of Environmentally Relevant Mixtures Containing Two Estrogenic Endocrine Disruptors, Chlordecone and Propylparaben, in Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the chronic effects of chlordecone (CLD) and propylparaben (PP), two pro‐estrogenic endocrine disruptors, on Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766 using a multiscale approach over a 14‐day exposure period. Environmentally relevant concentrations of CLD (0.5, 5, 20 μg L−1) and PP (0.01, 0.05, 0.40 μg L−1) were tested individually ...
