Resumo
This study aimed to determine the toxicity of glitter particles of two colors (green and white) on the
embryos of the sand dollar Mellita quinquiesperforata. Toxicity tests were performed using both green- and
white-glitter particles. Adult sand dollar individuals were collected and gametes were obtained by osmotic
induction. Each glitter was tested in five test solutions: 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100% (= mg L-1). The results
were analyzed by the Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test, allowing the determination of the lowest observed
effect concentration (LOEC) and the no observed effect concentration (NOEC). The LOECs calculated for
the green glitter dispersions were 0.01 % (P < 0.05) in the first two tests, and 100% in the third test. The
LOECs for the white-glitter dispersions ranged from 0.01 % to 0.1 %. Our results demonstrate that glitters
of both colors are capable of affecting the embryonic development of M. quinquiesperforata.
