Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a popular group of used worldwide. These also available over the counter, which implies that their consumption is not strictly regulated. They released through wastewater and feces can have adverse effects on environment. The present study aimed to evaluate effect two NSAIDs, diclofenac (DCF) naproxen (NAP), mixture (DCF + NAP) spring barley seedlings ostracods Heterocypris incongruens. tested had negative impact bivalve studied plants. DCF was most toxic toward ostracods, while were affected by NAP. application compounds resulted in decrease fresh weight yield content photosynthetic pigments. In addition, an increase H2O2 proline changes activity antioxidant enzymes (POD, APX, CAT, SOD) observed.
