ABSTRACT Convergent evidence associates endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with major, increasingly-prevalent human disorders. Regulation requires elucidation of EDC-triggered molecular events causally linked to adverse health outcomes, but two factors limit their identification. First, experiments frequently use individual chemicals, whereas real life entails simultaneous exposure multiple EDCs. Second, population-based and experimental studies are seldom integrated. This drawback was...
The textile industry, while of major importance in the world economy, is a toxic industry utilizing and emitting thousands chemical substances into aquatic environment. aim this project was to study potentially harmful effects associated with leaching residues from three different types textiles: sportswear, children’s bath towels, denim using fish models (cell lines, larvae juvenile fish). A combination vitro vivo test systems used. Numerous biomarkers, ranging gene expression, cytotoxicity...
The environment contains a multitude of man-made chemicals, some which can act as endocrine disruptors (EDCs), while others be immunotoxic. We evaluated thyroid disruption and immunotoxic effects in wild female perch (Perca fluviatilis) collected from two contaminated areas Sweden; one site with per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) sites polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), reference included for each area. hepatic mRNA expression receptors α β, the hormone metabolising iodothyronine...
Fish models used for chemical exposure in toxicological studies are normally kept barren tanks without any structural environmental enrichment. Here, we tested the combined effects of enrichment and to two mixtures endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) zebrafish. Firstly, assessed whether developmental an EDC mixture (MIX G1) with rearing fish enriched environment influenced behaviour later life. This was evaluated using locomotion tracking one month after exposure, showing a significant...
The Mekong Delta is host to a large number of freshwater species, including unique group facultative air-breathing Anabantiforms. Of these, the striped snakehead (Channa striata), climbing perch (Anabas testudineus), giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) and snakeskin (Trichogaster pectoralis) are major contributors aquaculture production in Vietnam. gastrointestinal responses feeding these four species detailed here. Relative intestinal length was lowest snakehead, indicating carnivory,...
Locomotion-based behavioural endpoints have been suggested as suitable sublethal for human and environmental hazard assessment, well biomonitoring applications. Larval stages of the sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus) possess a number attractive qualities experimental testing that make it promising species in ecotoxicology. Here, we present study aimed at developing toolkit using novel ecotoxicological studies locomotion an alternative endpoint toxicity testing. Exposure to three contaminants...
Chemical usage is increasing on a global scale and posing potential threat to local ecosystems. With production volumes, complexity, diverse functionalities, anthropogenic chemicals are identified as novel entities that threaten planetary boundaries, changing biogeochemical biophysical pathways the stability of earth systems (MacLeod et al. 2014). Science plays central role in describing these ecological impacts supporting informed decision making for risk mitigation. However, environmental...
