Chironomus riparius Meigen were exposed to 0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 ppm lindane for 48 h as fourth instar larvae. Exposure had no effect on glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity in larvae snap-frozen immediately following exposure. In contrast, exposure had longer-term consequences affecting developmental parameters. Concentrations above 0.5 ppm lindane affected larval behaviour, reduced adult body size and fecundity and delayed emergence times. The lack of significant change in GST activity when life history characters were affected by high concentrations of lindane, suggests that in C. riparius, GST is not a sensitive biomarker of pesticide exposure or effect.
