Metformin: Environmental fate and effects on freshwater plankton
Zooplankton and phytoplankton were collected during the 56-day metformin in-lake mesocosm exposure conducted Lake 114 at the International Institute for Sustainable Development-Experimental Lakes Area (IILSD-ELA) in northern Ontario, Canada. Samples were collected three times throughout the exposure (beginning, middle and end) and analysed under microscope to determine species diversity and total counts. Biomass of phytoplankton was also calculated. The experiment consisted of three metformin treatments (0, 4, and 40 μg/L) each with 4 replicates for a total of 12 mesocosms.
