The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a method for detecting development toxicity of environmental pollutants by a whole-mount in-situ hybridization technique. The method comprises the following step: detecting the development toxicity of environmental pollutants to zebra fish embryos by a whole-mount in-situ hybridization technique. The method can be used for predicting potential toxic actions of the environmental pollutants on zebra fish organs and tissues, thereby further disclosing the action mode of the environmental pollutants, shortening the detection period, and achieving the goal of early warning in deed.
