Abstract: The impact of bisphenol A (BPA) on Gammarus fossarum and Lumbriculus variegatus was studied in four artificial indoor streams (0, 5, 50 and 500 µg L-1 BPA, nominal) over 103 days in a pulse-dose exposure scenario (weekly BPA application). For G. fossarum populations at day 103, the proportions of juveniles and of breeding females from the highest BPA treatment were in tendency reduced. For individually exposed gammarid pairs an EC10 of 17 µg L-1 BPA (nominal) for the proportion of reproductive females in the fourth brood was determined. During the first three broods, the largest brood size occurred at the highest BPA concentration, whereas in the fourth brood it decreased concentration-dependently (fourth brood EC10 = 5 µg L-1 BPA, nominal). Effects on L. variegatus were a reduced population growth (103 d-EC10 of 2 µg L-1 BPA, nominal) and an increase in dry weight and the number of segments in large, complete worms.
