Thousands of organic micropollutants and their transformation products occur in water. Although often present at low concentrations, individual compounds contribute to mixture effects. Cell-based bioassays that target health-relevant biological endpoints may therefore complement chemical analysis for water quality assessment. The objective this study was evaluate cell-based suitability benchmark assess efficacy treatment processes. selected cover relevant steps the toxicity pathways...
There is limited knowledge regarding the adverse effects of wastewater-derived microplastics, particularly fibers, on aquatic biota. In this study, we examined acute (48 h) and chronic (8 d) microplastic polyester fibers polyethylene (PE) beads freshwater zooplankton Ceriodaphnia dubia. We also assessed response C. dubia to a binary mixture for first time. Acute exposure PE both showed dose-dependent effect survival. An equitoxic resulted in toxic unit 1.85 indicating less than additive...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), ubiquitous environmental contaminants, pose significant challenges to ecosystems human health. While cell cultures have emerged as new approach methodologies (NAMs) in ecotoxicity research, metabolomics is an emerging technique used characterize the small-molecule metabolites present cells understand their role various biological processes. Integration of with cultures, known culture metabolomics, provides a novel robust tool unravel complex...
Abstract The fate and removal of the estrogens 17β‐estradiol (E 2 ), estrone (E1), 17α‐ethynylestradiol (EE ) xenoestrogens bisphenol A (BPA), 4‐ tert ‐octylphenol (4‐ t ‐OP), 4‐nonylphenol (4‐NP), nonylphenol mono‐ diethoxylate (NPEO1 NPEO2, respectively) were investigated in four South Australian sewage treatment plants (STPs; A–D) with different technologies. concentrations effluent from two‐year survey similar to those reported other studies. In effluent, 4‐NP, NPEO1, NPEO2 had total up...
Changes in the endocrine potency of municipal wastewater at 3 treatment plants (WWTPs) Australia were investigated using a panel vitro receptor-driven transactivation assays. The assays based on human estrogen receptor α, androgen receptor, progesterone glucocorticoid and peroxisome proliferator-activated γ2. Total removal efficiencies for estrogenic activity dissolved phase 79.8% to 99.4%. Chemical analysis 17β-estradiol, estrone, 17α-ethinylestradiol levels showed that they accounted...
Environmental contextPer- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are contaminants of emerging concern, creating a need to develop efficient multi-functional adsorbents for improved remediation performance. By exploiting the versatility graphene technology, we demonstrate that combining mineral carbonaceous phases greatly increases strengthens PFAS-binding adsorbent. The study highlights benefits potential applications mixed in PFAS-remediation. AbstractAs degradation perfluorooctanoic acid...
Chronic exposure to environmental contaminants can induce heritable "transgenerational" modifications organisms, potentially affecting future ecosystem health and functionality. Incorporating transgenerational epigenetic heritability into risk assessment procedures has been previously suggested. However, a critical review of existing literature yielded numerous studies claiming impacts, with little compelling evidence. Therefore, contaminant-induced inheritance may be less common than is...
Aquaculture plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for seafood worldwide. However, sustainability of aquaculture practices faces challenges from environmental pollutants and toxins. Traditional methods assessing aquatic toxicity often rely on whole organism tests, which can be time-consuming, expensive, ethically challenging. In recent years, utilization fish cell lines as in-vitro testing models toxicology has emerged promising alternative approach. Fish offer several...
Summary Aquatic ecosystems near urban areas are often ecologically impaired, but causative factors rarely identified. Effects may be revealed by considering multiple lines of evidence at different levels biological organization. Biological impairment is evident in the section Upper Dandenong Creek Catchment (Victoria, Australia). We assessed whether episodic sewage spills or other pollutants were cause poor ecological condition stream. The evaluated included chemical and invertebrate...
Hepatic vitellogenin (VTG) mRNA and plasma protein assays were developed for the Murray rainbowfish (Melanotaenia fluviatilis), a native freshwater fish species in Australia. Adult male exposed to 17β-estradiol (E2) or 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) at 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 ng/L semistatic system 7 d. Vitellogenin was quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, VTG semiquantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Water concentrations liquid chromatography coupled with tandem...
