title: [Biological testing of cyclic acetaldehydes and their oxidation products using mollusks].
abstract: Toxicity of cyclic acetaldehyde and the affined compounds was studied in freshwater shellfish Planorbis spirorbis in laboratory conditions. Chronic threshold concentrations of the acetaldehyde appeared to depress the increase in total mass and to lower the content of hemolymph. Functional state of the shellfish cells changed--the share of cell deformations reaches 57%. The phenomena are traced to disorders in hemocytes membrane permeability, changes in cellular composition of hemolymph, decreased share of basophilic and increased share of oxyphilic cells in hemolymph. Thus, studies of toxicity should include both traditional examination and thorough hematologic evaluation.
