Abstract

Тhe present laboratory study (96 hours and 30 days) aimed to provide for the first time the possible adverse effects of different concentrations of PBDEs congers (PBDE 28, PBDE 47, PBDE 99, PBDE 100, PBDE 153, PBDE 154) based on Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) in zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, 1771). Therefore, we analysed the gill histochemical structure by applying the Periodic acid–Schiff staining method to assess the exposed individuals' physiological status and linked them to the tested PBDEs concentrations in the contaminated water.
