AbstractThe occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment has received increasing attention recent years, as concerns have risen about their environmental persistence, biological activity and different effects toward nontarget organisms. Considering magnitude concentrations (ng L−1 to mg L−1) often-specific modes action, assessment physiological responses exposed biota may provide significant information regarding potential ecological consequences exposure these contaminants. The...
Abstract Antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin) have been detected in surface water and groundwater for several decades. In order to understand the potential impact of continuous exposure aquatic organisms ciprofloxacin, a chronic assay was carried out with Daphnia magna. This approach allowed evaluation effects ciprofloxacin on life-history sub-individual parameters (antioxidant status metabolic response: activities catalase glutathione S-transferases – GSTs; peroxidative damage; thiobarbituric...
Salinization of coastal freshwater ecosystems is already occurring in some regions the world. This phenomenon raises serious concerns on protection ecosystems, since many them support and shelter a large number species are considered hotspots biodiversity. work intended to assess adverse effects that salinization, caused by intrusion seawater (SW), may pose organisms. In this study, three specific goals were addressed: (i) if sodium chloride (NaCl) be used as surrogate natural SW at...
Caffeine (CAF) exposures have been shown to cause several pharmacological and biological effects in target non-target organisms. Although there are already ecotoxicological studies with CAF organisms, they focused on marine relevant concentrations these ecosystems, therefore, less ecologically freshwater ecosystems (the main ecoreceptor of this type anthropogenic contaminant). The present study aimed assess the chronic (28 days) sub-lethal environmentally (0.16, 0.42, 1.09, 2.84, 7.40,...
