The European Commission Implementing Decision EU 2015/495 included three steroidal estrogens, namely 17α-ethinyl estradiol, 17β-estradiol, and estrone, in the so-called "watch list" of Water Framework Directive (WFD). monitoring these compounds is difficult because detection limits majority available analytical methods cannot achieve very low target concentrations required to meet proposed environmental quality criteria. In 2014, a combined Science-Policy Interface/Chemical Monitoring...
Ambient air pollution and smoking are well-documented risk factors for male infertility. Prevalent pollutants cigarette smoke components, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), environmental occupational toxicants that act as chemicals disrupting endocrine regulation reproductive potential in males. Testicular gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) is critical normal development function of testicular tissue, thus we assessed GJIC a process potentially targeted by PAHs testes....
Freshwater cyanobacterial harmful blooms (CyanoHABs) produce a variety of toxic and bioactive compounds including lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). The gastrointestinal tract can be exposed to them via contaminated water even during recreational activities. However, there is no evidence an effect CyanoHAB LPSs on intestinal cells. We isolated four CyanoHABs dominated by different species laboratory cultures representing the respective dominant genera. Two one macrophage cell lines were used detect...
Abstract Cyanobacterial harmful blooms (CyanoHABs) pose a global ecological problem, and their lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are among the bioactive compounds they release. Previous studies on CyanoHAB-LPS from single cyanobacterial species have shown varying bioactivities in different vitro cell models. In this study, we isolated LPS 19 CyanoHAB samples collected at 18 water bodies Czech Republic over two consecutive seasons. The proportions of cyanobacteria, Gram-negative bacteria (G-), other...
The biopreparation Supresivit based on spores from the fungus Trichoderma harzianum was applied as a dressing mixed with mineral fertilizers: NPK, LAV (ammonium nitrate limestone) and DASA ammonium sulphate). Our experimental plots spring barley, winter wheat, oil rape, maize potatoes were fertilized mixtures of (1 g, 0.5 g 0.1 per 1 kg fertilizer). There two check variants, first variant without any fertilization biopreparation, second fertilizer biopreparation. We observed infestation...
Eight varieties of spring barley (Hordeum vulgaris Lin.) were artificially inoculated with a Fusarium culmorum (W.G. Smith) Saccardo - isolate and naturally infected in the middle flowering period, 2 d later treated fungicides azoxystrobin or tebuconazol at dose 1 l/ha 250 l water. In both control samples grain content deoxynivalenol (DON), main trichothecene mycotoxin produced by F. culmorum, was determined gas chromatography (GC-ECD). The treatment either fungicide resulted elevated levels...
