| Abstract | Toxicity of used drilling fluids to embryo development was investigated to ascertain the limits of safe usage of these fluids in marine environments. Embryos used as test systems were of the teleost, Fundulus heteroclitus, and four echinoderms Echinarachnius parma, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Lytechinus pictus, and Lytechinus variegatus. The drilling fluids tested came from various sources; 24 different samples were evaluated. In addition, several commercial drilling fluid components were examined in the test systems including a synthetic reference mud. Studies demonstrated that no single drilling fluid is 'typical' and that the quantitative effects of embryos vary considerably from one fluid to another. |
