Abstract
The polychlorinated aromatic compound 3,3',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene (33'44'-TCAB) is contaminant of many 3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) bas ed herbicides, and of agricultural soils. In this study, the aquatic s nail Indohiramakigai (Indoplanorbis exustus) was exposed to detrital 3 3'44'-TCAB. The snails absorbed 33'44'-TCAB from their environment, bu t only to a maximum level of approximately 287 ppb (whole body basis). This level of 33'44'-TCAB did not appear to cause any harmful effects .
