Toxic pesticides effects on the respiration rate in Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771)
With the present experiment we aimed to study the possible negative effects of two commonly used insecticides – cypermethrin (CYP) and chlorpyrifos (CPF) on the respiration rate of Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, 1771) after 96 hours and 30 days. We found that both chemicals altered th...

| Summary: | With the present experiment we aimed to study the possible negative effects of
two commonly used insecticides – cypermethrin (CYP) and chlorpyrifos (CPF) on the
respiration rate of Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, 1771) after 96 hours and 30
days. We found that both chemicals altered the respiration process; however CYP was
determined to be more toxic regarding this particular biological measurement |
