- Abstract
Pesticide formulations are typically applied as mixtures, and their synergistic effects can increase toxicity to the organisms in the environment. Despite pesticide mixtures being the leading cause of pesticide exposure incidents, little attention has been given to assessing their combined toxicity and interactions. This survey purposed to reveal the cumulative toxic effects of deltamethrin (DEL) and cyazofamid (CYA) on earthworms (Eisenia fetida) by examining multiple endpoints. Our findings revealed that the LC50 values of DEL for E. fetida, following 7- and 14-day exposures, ranged from 887.7 (728–1095) to 1552 (1226–2298) mg kg−1, while those of CYA ranged from 316.8 (246.2–489.4) to 483.2 (326.1–1202) mg kg−1. The combinations of DEL and CYA induced synergistic influences on the organisms. The contents of Cu/Zn-SOD and CarE showed significant variations when exposed to DEL, CYA, and their combinations compared to the untreated group. Furthermore, the mixture administration resulted in more pronounced alterations in the expression of five genes (hsp70, tctp, gst, mt, and crt) associated with cellular stress, carcinogenesis, detoxification, and endoplasmic reticulum compared to single exposures. In conclusion, our comprehensive findings provided detailed insights into the cumulative toxic effects of chemical mixtures across miscellaneous endpoints and concentration ranges. These results underscored the importance of considering mixture administration during ecological risk evaluations of chemicals.
