The impact of pharmaceuticals on marine invertebrates has been a topic rising concern, with an increasing number studies regarding the impacts bivalves. However, very few investigated toxicity mixtures pharmaceuticals. This knowledge gap was in present study, where 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and salicylic acid (SA) mixture evaluated. To this end, Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels were chronically subjected to both pharmaceuticals, acting alone combination, effects at cellular level measured....
Terrestrial isopods from the species Porcellionides pruinosus were exposed to maximum allowed nickel concentration in Canadian framework guideline (50 mg Ni/kg soil) and 5× this (250 soil). The exposure lasted for 28 days was followed by a recovery period of 14 where organisms changed clean soil. Organisms sampled after 24 h, 48 96 7 days, 21 exposure, at 35 42 during period. For each sampling time acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione-S-transferases (GST), catalase (CAT), lactate...
Bioaccumulation of cadmium was assessed in different tissues the benthic fish Solea senegalensis. Juvenile Senegalese soles were simultaneously exposed to cadmium-contaminated diet (Hediste diversicolor) and water during 14 days allowed depurate for another days. Cadmium content measured muscle, gills, liver intestine, with recorded values increasing these this same order. Muscle showed a considerably lower accumulation after uptake. kinetics juvenile revealed that highest uptake flux metal...
Sustainability, circularity, and Zero Waste policies are timely concepts for policy development strategies in the European Union (EU) other global regions. Insects can likely become key players bioconversion of waste to valuable material promise one solution achieve diverse societal goals. further present strategic opportunities as food products; however, it is necessary understand how insects accumulate eliminate priority contaminants from different substrates where they be reared. In...
Abstract Anthropogenic activities such as the use of pesticides may affect aquatic biota populations, due to potential agricultural runoffs or disposals. Carbendazim is one example a widely used fungicide with high end up in ecosystems through runoff. Deleterious effects observed at individual level are possibly explained by changes homeostasis cellular level, and both factors can then be predict population level. In present study, an isoclonal Daphnia magna (clone K6) was exposed...
The use of insects in organic management systems is expanding due to their ability recycle waste into valuable co-products for agriculture, notably frass, constituted by the insect's excrements, larval exuviae, and remaining undigested feedstock. This study aimed assess effects different application rates frass (0.16, 0.32, 0.64, 1.28, 2.56 5.12%) produced black soldier fly Hermetia illucens larvae (BSFL) on survival reproduction two non-target invertebrate species, enchytraeid Enchytraeus...
Research on nanotechnology with applications in agriculture has been gathering attention because it may achieve a good balance between agricultural production and environmental integrity. Among the vast nanomaterials, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising solution for supplying crops macro- and/or micronutrients. Still, little is known about their safety implications non-target organisms, such as soil invertebrates. The habitat function of soils might be impacted by potential...
The exposure to pesticides by nontarget soil biota has long been regarded as a serious downside of modern agricultural regimes and the subject heated debate. Of utmost relevance is pesticide mixtures because their effects have shown not necessarily reflect individual toxicity components, even simple addition may lead consequences clearly anticipated. In present study, multiple biomarker approach was employed identify mechanistic time underlying several single mixture treatments chlorpyrifos...
