Two cytochemical assays were used. The first one was based on microscopic observations of neutral red dye, and the second one on a fluorescence spectroscopy approach using acridine orange, which had the advantage of being more reliable in assessing minor cell damage. Two sets of experiments were carried out incontrolled laboratory conditions (temperature, photoperiod) and in outdoor microcosms, which produce more realistic ecological conditions. An unequivocal relationship was shown, linking atrazine exposure to Lymnaea stagnalis haemocytes lysosomal permeability. High temperatures also had a negative effect on the lysosomal membrane. In the microcosms, the response was affected by seasonal factors, and led to an integrated cell response. It was concluded that lysosomal sensitivity reflects environmental changes. Moreover, the technique using acridine orange was shown to be sufficiently sensitive and reliable to serve as a lysosomal marker in a controlled environment.
