Description
Sandeep R. Reddy, Manjunatha Bangeppagari, and Prabhakar Kamarthy test potassium bromate harm in zebrafish in a 2026 study. The chemical is a food additive and pollutant known to damage genes and drive oxidation in mammals, but fish data were thin. Short tests ran for 96 hours and longer tests for 21 days.
The median lethal level at 96 hours came to 1052.6 mg per litre in the reported estimate. Short exposure slowed swimming and exploration and pushed fish toward the tank bottom. Longer exposure raised blood sugar and damaged liver tissue, with cell swelling, widened spaces, decay, and dead areas. Harm arose below lethal levels, giving baseline data for water risk work.
