L'effet «imposex». Les organismes les plus sensibles à la contamination par le TBT [tributylétain] sont les gastropodes(groupe de mollusques comprenant les escargots, les patelles, les buccins et les conques), qui subissent des transformations morphologiques quand ils sont exposés à des concentrations de TBT de 1–2 ng/L [nanogram/liter] dans l'eauou quand les concentrations de TBT dans les tissus animaux atteignent 20 parties par milliard en poids sec. L'effet«imposex» est l'impositionet le développement de structures reproductrices mâles, tels le pénis et le canal déférent, chez les buccins femelles. On a constaté que plus de 40 espèces sont touchées par l'effet«imposex», bien que l'influencedirecte du TBT n’ ait pas été établie dans tous les cas. 1, record 2, French, - effet%20imposex
