Abstract Enlarged versions of the MACER sled‐mounted suprabenthic sampler were tested, improved, calibrated and used extensively (598 tows) at depths 10—384 m since 1968 in Gulf Estuary St. Lawrence. Two half‐metre zooplankton nets are mounted 28—64 106—142 cm from sea‐bed, on a steel chassis toboggan plate. Each has flow‐meter 3 horizontal shutters which open via lever upon contact with sea floor. They close automatically, through springs water pressure, whenever sled leaves bottom,...

Rare earth elements (REE) are emerging contaminants due to their increased use in diverse applications including cutting-edge and green-technologies. Their environmental concerns contradicting results concerning biological effects require an extensive understanding of REE ecotoxicology. Thus, we have studied the fate, bioaccumulation three representative REE, neodymium (Nd), gadolinium (Gd) ytterbium (Yb), individually mixture, using freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea. The organisms were...

Rare Earth elements (REE) have become essential in strategical sectors such as high- and green-technologies. Their increasing use human activities worldwide leads to anthropogenic REE releases detectable all compartments of the environment, transforming into emerging contaminants. However, their potential impacts on ecosystems are still poorly understood. In order a comprehensive understanding ecotoxicology properly assess environmental risk, we analysed toxicity three representative...

Because of their antibacterial properties, silver (Ag) engineered nanomaterials are included in many products. The present study used a standardized Ag nanomaterial (NM-300K, 20 nm) supplied with stabilizing agent. aim was to investigate the behavior an estuarine-like medium at 2 salinities (15 psu and 30 psu). Uptake as well sublethal effects (10 μg Ag/L), its agent, AgNO3 Ag/L) were assessed clam Scrobicularia plana, after 7 d exposure. release soluble from experimental media quantified by...
