Abstract The Water Framework Directive (WFD), 2000/60/EC, requires an integrated approach to the monitoring and assessment of quality surface water bodies. chemical status is based on compliance with legally binding Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) for selected pollutants (priority substances) EU-wide concern. In context mandate period 2010 2012 subgroup Chemical Monitoring Emerging Pollutants (CMEP) under Common Implementation Strategy (CIS) WFD, a specific task was established...
For many years, there has been increasing concern about the effects of presence hazardous substances in environment. The chemical and biological effect (BE) monitoring these pollutants proven difficult due to low environmental concentrations, variable bioavailability, generalised nature ecological responses substances. over- or under-expression key genes be useful understanding molecular mechanisms toxicity contaminants. This study uses a quantitative PCR array detect changes gene expression...
Molecular responses to acute toxicant exposure can be effective biomarkers, however chronic are less well characterised. The aim of this study was determine molecular environmental mixtures in a controlled laboratory setting, free from the additional variability encountered with sampling wild organisms. Flounder fish were exposed mesocosms for seven months contaminated estuarine sediment made by mixing material Forth (high organics) and Tyne metals tributyltin) estuaries (FT) or reference...
This study investigates the relationships among Ni, Cd and Pb's different chemical forms determined by methodologies in coastal transitional waters across a broad geographical scale. Concentrations were measured spot samples through passive sampling (DGT). High variability of metal concentrations was found sites due to natural water fluctuations rather than given or method. Total dissolved lower EQS-WFD values. The labile fractions Pb, Anodic Stripping Voltammetry DGT-ICPMS, highly...
The fecundity and occurrence of intersexuality in the amphipod, Echinogammarus marinus , collected from populations on east coast Scotland are reported. Intersex specimens have significantly smaller mean brood sizes than normal specimens. Embryo survival, as measured by ratio eggs/embryos early late stages development, is lower intersex Greater differences number stage eggs compared with suggested to arise active ejection non-viable eggs, or passive loss through malformed plates females. An...
The sand goby (Pomatoschistus spp.) is a small estuarine fish. Its abundance, life history, and sedentary nature lead to its adoption as key species in the U.K. Endocrine Disruption Marine Environment (EDMAR) Program. This study investigated presence of classic markers estrogenic exposure by determining vitellogenin (VTG) zona radiata protein (ZRP) mRNA levels ovotestis estuarine-caught male gobies morphological changes urogenital papilla (UGP). Laboratory exposures estrogens were also...
The current study evaluates the effect of seawater physico-chemical characteristics on relationship between concentration metals measured by Diffusive Gradients in Thin films (DGT) passive samplers (i.e., DGT-labile concentration) and concentrations discrete water samples. Accordingly, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure total dissolved metal samples labile obtained DGT samplers; additionally, lead cadmium conditional fractions were determined Anodic...
