Acute Ecotoxicological and Histopathological Effects of Maxilon Blue 5G as an Azo Dye on Earthworms

Abstract

Today, the effects of dyes on the environment and life health are important scientific issues. In this paper, for the first time, we report the histopathological and ecotoxicological studies of Maxilon blue 5G on earthworms as very important organisms for soil structure. Earthworms was exposed to Maxilon blue 5G by direct injection method with different doses in a range of 1.0-8000 mg L-1 for 48 h. The experimental analysis showed that some considerable morphological abnormalities in the earthworms were detected with the injection of 5000 mg L-1 and 8000 mg L-1 of Maxilon blue 5G dosages. LD50 values of Maxilon Blue 5G in earthworms’ experiments were calculated as 6324.56 mg L-1 after 48 h, and these values are the first experimental findings for the literature. The findings of the study were supported by histopathological investigations that are many severe tissue damages that were observed in the intestine and the whole body of earthworms injected with a high dosage of Maxilon blue 5G.

Bir Azo Boyası Olarak Maxilon Blue 5G'nin Solucanlar Üzerindeki Akut Ekotoksikolojik ve Histopatolojik Etkileri

Abstract

Günümüzde boyaların çevre ve yaşam sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri önemli bilimsel konulardır. Maxilon blue 5G'nin toprak yapısı için çok önemli organizmalar olan solucanlar üzerindeki histopatolojik ve ekotoksikolojik çalışmalarını ilk kez bu yazıda sunuyoruz. Solucanlar, Maxilon blue 5G'ye, 1.0-8000 mg L-1 aralığında farklı dozlarda, direkt enjeksiyon yöntemiyle 48 saat süreyle maruz bırakıldı. Deneysel analiz, 5000 mg L-1 ve 8000 mg L-1 Maxilon blue 5G dozajlarının enjeksiyonu ile solucanlarda bazı önemli morfolojik anormalliklerin tespit edildiğini gösterdi. Maxilon Blue 5G'nin solucan deneylerindeki LD50 değerleri 48 saat sonra 6324.56 mg L-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır ve bu değerler literatür için ilk deneysel bulgulardır. Çalışmanın bulguları, yüksek dozda Maxilon blue 5G enjekte edilen solucanların bağırsaklarında ve tüm vücudunda gözlenen birçok ciddi doku hasarının histopatolojik incelemeleri ile desteklendi.
