Microalgae growth inhibition assays are candidates for referent ecotoxicology as a fundamental part of the strategy to reduce use fish and other animal models in aquatic toxicology. In present work, performance Chlorella vulgaris exposed heavy metals following standardized photosynthesis was assessed two different scenarios: (1) dilutions single (2) an artificial mixture at similar levels those found natural rivers. Chemical speciation estimated with Visual MINTEQ software; free metal ion...
Pesticide risk assessment within the European Union Water Framework Directive is largely deficient in of actual exposure and chemical mixture effects. contamination, particular herbicidal loading, has been shown to exert pressure on surface waters. Such pollution can have direct impact autotrophic species, as well indirect impacts freshwater communities through primary production degradation. The present study proposes a screening method combining polar organic integrative samplers (POCIS)...
A fundamental problem in ecotoxicology is the prediction of long term population and ecosystem-level effects contaminant exposure based on dose response data few individuals obtained over a short time period. In addition, environmental fluctuations will always affect significantly population/ecosystem resilience. However, these are not taken into account under dose-response experiments individuals. Thresholds project we have analyzed some questions by using experiments, analysis tools...
