Toxicity of the pharmaceuticals finasteride and melengestrol acetate to the amphipod Hyalella azteca

The toxicity of pharmaceuticals finasteride (FIN) and melengestrol acetate (MGA) was assessed in chronic (42 days) sediment tests with the amphipod Hyalella azteca. Two tests were completed for each compound. Survival, growth, reproduction and sex ratio were assessed at the end of each test.
