The determination of the real toxicity sediments in aquatic ecosystems is challenging and necessary for an appropriate risk assessment. Different approaches have been developed applied over last several decades. Currently, joint implementation chemical, ecological toxicological tools recommended successful We chose combination toxic unit approach with acute pore water tests (Vibrio fischeri, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata Daphnia magna) whole-sediment exposure (V. Chironomus riparius),...
Microplastics (MPs) are accessible for organisms with active filter feeding strategies, as many marine molluscs, which live attached or semi-buried in sediments. In the present study, MPs (from 0.02 to 5 mm) concentration, morphology, and composition were determined consumed mollusc species of Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean Sea). Microplastic concentrations, morphologic characteristics studied according species, catchment zones depuration condition. Finally, human intake through molluscs'...
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants detected everywhere in the environment, with potential to harm living organisms. The present study investigated concentration, morphology, and composition of MPs, between 20 μm 5 mm, a drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) located close Barcelona (Catalonia, NE Spain). sampling included different units DWTP, from influent effluent as well sludge line. Sampling strategy, filtration, allows large volumes avoiding sample contamination, during 8 h...
A study of the ecotoxicity different short aliphatic protic ionic liquids (PILs) on terrestrial organisms was conducted. Tests performed within present include those assessing effects PILs soil microbial functions (carbon and nitrogen mineralization) plants. The results show that nominal lowest-observed-adverse-effect concentration (LOAEC) values were 5,000 mg/kg (dry soil) for plant test in two species (Lolium perenne, Allium cepa), 1,000 one (Raphanus sativus), 10,000 carbon transformation...
