Abstract
Wood is an
importantbuilding and construction material and its importance and use
continues to increase. For its various uses, wood must be protected from attack
by insects, fungi and other organisms. Sodiumomadine (NaOM) is the water soluble
biyocidal wood preservative.
72-h
trans-heterozygous Drosophila larvae were chronically fed with 0,2 µg/mL; 0,4
µg/mL and 0,8 µg/mLconcentrations of the NaOM. Distilled water was used for the
control group. During the experiments, 1.5 g medium was wetted with 5
mLexposuresolution, and 100 larvae in eachgroup were embedded in the medium.
Adult flies were counted after metamorphosis. Statistically significant
differences in percent survival between experimental and controlgroups were
compared by using Chi-squared Test. The survival percentages of Drosophila melanogaster
were calculated as 85 in 0.2 µg/mL; 71 in 0,4 µg/mL; 68 in 0,8 µg/mL and 98 in
the control group. The study revealed that there was a statistically
significant difference in favor of the control group between survival percentage
of 0,4 µg/mL and 0,8 µg/mL NaOM exposure groups and that of the control group
(p< 0.05). Investigation of NaOM toxicity using different experimental animals
will be significant.
