The bioavailability and environmental stability of these compounds make them potential threat to these organisms, specially the sessile organisms. We have examined the effects of atorvastatin, a globally prescribed drug, on the blue mussels – Mytilus edulis. In this data set, we presents the effect of atorvastatin (ATO) on the membrane properties, detoxification and biotransformation enzyme activities of Mytilus edulis.
