Title:  Piperonyl butoxide enhances the bioconcentration and photoinduced toxicity of fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene to larvae of the grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio)
 
Authors:  Weinstein JE, Garner TR
 
Drug:  Piperonyl butoxide
 
Fish species:  Shrimp, daggerblade grass
 
Date:  2008
 
Sample:  whole body
 
Ave Weight (gm):  0
 
Ave Water temp (°C):  22
 
Water:  Saltwater
 
Dosage:  0.760 mg/L 96h
 
Route:  BATH
 
Comments:  One test was conducted in the absence of light, while the other was subject to continuous light. The researchers calculated that Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) toxicity is not enhanced by simulated sunlight. Calculated LC50 values for dark exposures was 814.4ug/L, and when exposed to light was 888.6ug/L (not statistically different P=0.42). Water salinity was 20 ppt.
