Abstract
Egg masses of C. plumosus were collected from Jungnang Stream in Seoul and reared in an incubator chamber. The larvae of C. plumosus were treated with potential endocrine disruption chemicals (EDCs) such as Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), Bisphenol A (BPA) and Tebufenozide, and the effects of morphological abnormalities were observed. The deformities of the mentum following exposure to EDCs showed the smooth/round tooth, the loss of ${\ge}$1 tooth, reduced median lateral teeth (MLT) and light brown color. The incidence rates of the mentum deformity were associated with chemicals: BPA (73.7 ${\sim}$ 90.9%)>tebufenozide (57.6 ${\sim}$ 78.9%)>DEHP (46.2 ${\sim}$ 85.7%). The deformity type of the mentum showed MIX (MLT+LT, 32 ${\sim}$ 46%)>MLT (25 ${\sim}$ 34%)>LT (lateral teeth, 3 ${\sim}$ 7%). Also, the incidence of MIX type was in the order of BPA (46%)>DEHP (33%) >tebufenozide (32%), and that of MLT type showed DEHP (34%)>tebufenozide (31%)>BPA (25%). As the concentration of Tebufenozide increased, the incidence of light brown mentum was dose dependent. While the incidences of light brown mentum following exposure to BPA and DEHP were not associated with their concentrations.
