摘要

Abstract

In recent years

herbicide sulfometuron-methyl (SM) has been used to kill the invasive plant

Spartina

alterniflora

in some coastal areas of China

which may lead to the toxic effects on non-target marine organisms. The 96-h median effective concentrations (96-h EC

) of SM on six species of marine microalgae were measured in growth inhibition tests

and were then compared with other published toxicity data

based on which a method of species sensitivity distribution (SSD) was built to estimate the hazardous concentration of SM for 5% of species (HC

) and potentially affected fraction (PAF) for a certain concentration. Results indicate that SM exhibited a high toxicity to two species of green algae (

Chlorella

pacifica

and

Dunaliella

salina

) with a 96-h EC

of 0.11 and 0.13 mg/L respectively

had a medium toxicity to two species of golden algae (

Diacronema

viridis

and

Isochrysis

galbana

) with a 96-h EC

of 14.24 and 21.48 mg/L respectively

and showed a low toxicity to two species of diatoms (

Skeletonema

costatum

and

Phaeodactylum

tricornutum

) with a 96-h EC

of 148.99 and

100 mg/L

respectively. The estimated values of HC

and the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNEC) for SM were 0.077 and 0.015 mg/L

respectively. According to the current dosage for killing

alterniflora

in tidal flats in Fujian Province

China

SM entering the sea by spraying might cause the acute injury or death of 14% of marine species. This hazard could last for about a month for those sensitive species. Therefore

on the premise of inhibiting the growth of this invasive plant

the dosage of SM should be reduced as much as possible to avoid severe damage to th

e marine ecosystem. The results provide a valuable information for marine ecological risk assessment on SM and for marine environmental management.
