The effects of three relevant organic pollutants: chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used insecticide, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), employed as flame retardant and plastic additive, bisphenol A (BPA), primarily on sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) larvae, were investigated. Experiments consisted exposing fertilized eggs throughout their development to the 4-arm pluteus larval stage. antioxidant enzymes glutathione reductase (GR) catalase (CAT), phase II detoxification enzyme S-transferase (GST),...
The objective of this study was to determine whether and what extent microplastics (MPs) enhance the toxicity pollutants as well pollutant-loaded MPs act relevant vectors chemical pollutants. With aim, for mussel sea urchin embryos of: 1) three dissolved (Pol): chlorpyrifos (CPF), fluoranthene (FLT) mercury (Hg); 2) their mixture with Microplastics (MP + Pol); 3) (MPPol), assessed. Analyses CPF, FLT Hg were also performed evaluate transfer among particulate phases. In general, 'MP Pol'...
This study investigates the combined impact of microplastics (MP) and Chlorpyriphos (CPF) on sea urchin larvae (Paracentrotus lividus) under backdrop ocean warming acidification. While individual toxic effects these pollutants have been previously reported, their remain poorly understood. Two experiments were conducted using different concentrations CPF (EC10 EC50) based previous studies from our group. MP adsorbed in to simulate realistic environmental conditions. Additionally, water...
Lately, the role of microplastics (MP) as vectors for dissolved contaminants and vehicle their transfer to aquatic organisms has received attention. Similarly MP, other inorganic organic particles may act passive samplers. However, limited comparative knowledge exists at this respect. In present study we have comparatively investigated risk mussel MP pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) alone in combination with phytoplankton microalgae (MP-CPF MA-CPF, respectively). We selected similar size expose...
Microplastic occurrence in marine biota has been reported a wide range of animals, from mammals and seabirds to invertebrates. Commercial shallow-water fish have the subject numerous works on microplastic ingestion, given their importance human diet accessibility. However, little is known about microlitter species inhabiting dark ocean, bathyal zone there high degree uncertainty distribution offshore areas deep sea. In this study, bathydemersal Alepocephalus bairdii Coryphaenoides rupestris...

The role of the biopolymer polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB, <250 µm) as a vehicle synthetic musks mixture (celestolide, galaxolide, tonalide, musk xylene, moskene and ketone) to Mytilus galloprovincialis was investigated. For 30 days, virgin PHB, PHB+musks (6.82 µg g-1) weathered PHB+musks, were daily spiked into tanks containing mussels, followed by 10-day depuration period. Water tissues samples collected measure exposure concentrations accumulation in tissues. Mussels able actively filter...
Microplastic occurrence in marine biota has been reported a wide range of animals, from top predators to invertebrates. Commercial fish the subject numerous works on microplastic ingestion, given their key importance food webs and human diet. However, little is known about microlitter incidence species inhabiting dark ocean, bathyal zone. In this study, bathydemersal Alepocephalus bairdii Coryphaenoides rupestris Porcupine Bank caught between 985-1037 m depth were inspected for microdebris....
