We used a phylogenetically based comparative approach to evaluate the potential for physiological studies reveal patterns of diversity in traits related susceptibility an environmental stressor, trace metal cadmium (Cd). Physiological Cd bioaccumulation, compartmentalization, and ultimately were measured 21 aquatic insect species representing orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera. mapped these experimentally derived onto phylogeny quantified tendency be similar (phylogenetic signal)....
Residues and distribution of neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) in soil-water-sediment systems the urban rural areas Guangzhou, South China were investigated. A total 104 soil samples from 7 different functional zones 29 water/sediment creeks collected. The results showed that at least one insecticide was detected all samples. summed levels five target neonicotinoids (∑5neonics) range 0.003–229 ng/g dw for samples, 7.94–636 ng/L water 0.017–31.3 sediment with a geometric mean 0.59 dw, 153...
Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are the most widely used pesticides and have posed a serious threat to human health. However, data on exposure NEOs extremely scarce. To bridge this gap, potential of through drinking water consumption percutaneous penetration was evaluated with influences 17 age groups, 4 seasons, 6 regions, 2 genders. The results showed that in present study had an upper middle level NEO contamination. Anthropogenic activity weather condition played important roles regional...
Elevated concentrations of dietary selenium (Se) cause abnormalities and extirpation fish inhabiting in Se-contaminated environments. However, its effect on behavior the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, two-month-old zebrafish (Danio rerio) was fed seleno-l-methionine (Se-Met) at environmentally relevant (i.e., control (2.61), low (5.43), medium (12.16), high (34.61) μg Se/g dry weight (dw), respectively, corresponding to C, L, M, H treatments) for 60 days....
Aquatic environments face escalating challenges from multiple stressors like hypoxia and nanoparticle exposure, with impact on mussel immunity, especially under prolonged its potential modulation by nanopollutants, poorly understood. We investigated the individual combined effects of short-term long-term exposure to zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) hemocytes immune response mussels (Mytilus edulis). Hemocyte functional traits (mortality, adhesion capacity, phagocytosis, lysosomal abundance,...
Estrogenic potencies of four herbicides (triclopyr, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), diquat dibromide, glyphosate), two alkylphenol ethoxylate-containing surfactants (R-11 and Target Prospreader Activator (TPA)), the binary mixture with were evaluated using an in vivo rainbow trout vitellogenin assay. Juvenile exposed to 2,4-D (1.64 mg/l) for 7 days had a 93-fold increase plasma (Vtg) levels compared untreated fish, while other pesticides alone did not show elevated control fish. When...
Increasing release of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) into aquatic ecosystems is a growing environmental concern. Triclosan fluoxetine are two widely used PPCPs frequently detected in ecosystems. In this study, the sensitivities 7 algal species from 4 genera to triclosan, their mixture were evaluated. The results showed that inhibitory effect on growth (EC50-96h) triclosan varied with 50 times differences among species. Chlorella ellipsoidea was least susceptible...
Synthetic progestins are widely used in human and veterinary medicine. They can enter aquatic environments mainly via wastewater discharge agricultural runoff, thus affecting fish populations receiving waters. Here, we investigated the chronic effects of dydrogesterone (DDG) on zebrafish from 21 to 140 days post-fertilization (dpf) at 3.39, 33.1, 329 ng L-1. The results showed that male ratio increased with exposure concentration, after 120 L-1, 98% were males. DDG during sex differentiation...
Antibiotics and nanoplastics are two prevalent pollutants in oceans, posing a great threat to marine ecosystems. As antibiotics highly bioconcentrated lower trophic levels, evaluating their impacts on organisms via dietary exposure route is of importance. In this study, the individual joint effects dietborne sulfamethazine (SMZ) nanoplastic fragments (polystyrene, PS) medaka (Oryzias melastigma) were investigated. After 30 days exposure, 4.62 mg/g SMZ decreased Chao1 index (60.86% for...
