Abstract EN
Carbendazim, as a fungicide, was commonly used to control fungal diseases in agriculture, forestry, and veterinary medicines.
In this study, the acute and reproductive toxicity of carbendazim was assessed using Caenorhabditis elegans (C.
elegans) as a model in order to preliminarily evaluate the potential risks of this fungicide in agricultural production and application.
The results showed that the growth of C.
elegans was inhibited by 0.01 μg/L carbendazim.
The treatment of 0.1 μg/L carbendazim caused a significant decrease in locomotion behavior and significant damage to the reproductive and antioxidant system, causing the lifespan of nematodes to be drastically shortened.
These results provide a better understanding of the environmental risk of carbendazim and raise new concerns about safety.
