In recent years, a wide array of industrially-made substances have been classified as emerging organic pollutants due to their omnipresence in the aquatic environment.1-6 Many environmental pollutants are the result of improper use and disposal and they are not properly eliminated by sewage treatments.1,2 Benzothiazole (C7H5NS) is an aromatic heterocyclic molecule formed with a 1,3-thiazole ring linked to a benzene group.1-3 Benzothiazole (BTs) possess a vast array of derivate molecules used in many consumer products ranging from rubber (tires), anticorrosive agents, as fungicide in the paper and leather industry and it is also commonly found in a wide range of household products.1,2,4,5 BTs are not very soluble in water and are thus found in large quantities in urban particulate matter.3 The remarkably stable chemical properties and the slow degradation rate of BTs contribute to their popularity and ubiquity in the aquatic environment.1,2 Human exposure to benzothiazole is widespread, as it is also been documented in bottled water, food flavors, tea leaves and tobacco smoke.4 Some benzothiazole derivates have been identified as carcinogenic agents in humans or have been associated with mutagenicity in different microorganisms.4,5 Some studies have even shown that BTs derivates can accumulate in the human adipose tissues.4 There is a clear lack of knowledge on the toxicity levels of benzothiazole and its derivates on aquatic environments. The goal of this study is to monitor the immunotoxicity of benzothiazole on the hemocytes of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) following an in vitro exposure.
