The impacts of some plant protection chemical OCPs on two crustacean species Daphnia magna and Moina macrocopa

DDT (Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) and chlordane are the organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) dangerous to human health and easily accumulate in biological tissues, used to control insects in crops, livestock and house protection. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of DDT, cis (alpha-chlordane), and trans (gamma-chlordane) on the growth of two crustaceans species Daphnia magna (D. magna) and Moina macrocopa (M. macrocopa) after 24 h and 48 h.
