When Musca domestica L. was exposed to the different levels of SO_2(0.3, 0.4, 1.5 ppm) in an air pollutant fumigation chamber, in the case of 0.4 ppm exposed, their oviposition rate significantly decreased with the increasing exposure period at 0.4 ppm and their oviposition was also delayed. The number of pupae from the house fly exposed to SO_2 distinctly decreased when compared with control group and this trend was more pronounced at F_2 than at F_1 generation. The emergence of pupae from the cohorts exposed to SO_2 showed a distinctly decreasing trend with the increase in exposure period and in the concentration of SO_2.
