With the emergence of manufactured nanomaterials, it is urgent to carry out researches on their potential environmental impacts and biological effects. To better understand ecotoxicological metal oxide nanoparticles released aquatic environments, zebrafish 96-h embryo-larval bioassay was used assess compare developmental toxicities nanoscale zinc (nZnO), titanium dioxide (nTiO2) alumina (nAl2O3) aqueous suspensions. Toxicological endpoints such as embryos or larvae survival, hatching rate...
With extensive use of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) in a variety applications comes higher potential release into aquatic environments. NPs tend to form much larger aggregates water, which are expected settle down the bottom water column and possibly get mixed with sediments. However, little is known about environmental impacts biological effects these aggregated sediment column. In this study, we examined sedimentation nanoscale ZnO particles (nZnO) zebrafish culture medium, assessed...
Iron oxide nanoparticles have been explored recently for their beneficial applications in many biomedical areas, environmental remediation, and various industrial applications. However, potential risks also identified with the release of into environment. To study ecological effects iron on aquatic organisms, we used early life stages zebrafish (Danio rerio) to examine such embryonic development this species. The results showed that ≥10 mg/L instigated developmental toxicity these embryos,...
Microplastic pollution has emerged as a global environmental concern. As filter-feeding organisms, marine mussels are particularly vulnerable to microplastics. Moreover, phthalic acid esters (PAEs) known leach from microplastics under various conditions. Among PAEs, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is common endocrine disruptor. We investigated the effects of and plasticizers on reproductive function female mussel Mytilus coruscus. The results revealed that exposure DEHP high-density...
The present paper summarizes, to our knowledge, the first study regarding developmental toxicity of stable buckminsterfullerene aggregates suspended in water (nC60) using zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a vertebrate model. Zebrafish embryo survival, hatching rate, heartbeat, and pericardial edema were noted described within 96 h exposure. Fullerol (a hydroxylated C60 derivative, C60(OH)16-18) at 50 mg/L did not exert embryos. In contrast, nC60 1.5 delayed larval development, decreased survival...
Little information is available on the potential ecotoxicity of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) in marine environment. To carefully address this issue, toxicity nanosized titanium dioxide (nTiO2) aggregates environment was evaluated using abalone (Haliotis diversicolor supertexta) embryonic development as a model. The effect nTiO2 highly toxic antifouling compound tributyltin (TBT) to embryos also investigated. No developmental effects were observed at 2 mg/L but concentrations ≥10 caused...
The key algal response mechanisms to cope with NP toxicity and implications for bloom control by NPs.
Massive amounts of plastic waste have been released into ecosystems, generating huge microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) during the environmental aging process. However, particle size number dynamics along process not quantitatively assessed, which can greatly influence their fate risk assessment. We applied single inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (spICP-MS) to analyze polystyrene (PS) MPs with a wide range (800 nm–5 μm) as well concentration at an environmentally relevant...
The growing use of plastics has led to microplastics (MPs) being ubiquitously distributed in marine environments. Although previous studies have emphasized MPs as important metal-transport vectors, few considered the differences between these anthropogenic particles and their coexisting natural counterparts sequestering metals seawater. Here, we compared Cu adsorption pristine naturally aged (polystyrene polyethylene) with that algae sediments assessed bioavailability adsorbed by a gut juice...
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have high hydrophilicity, cell permeability, and are frequently used in water-based biorelated applications, yet studies concerning the ecological risks of CQDs aquatic environments largely insufficient. In present study, toxicity to zebrafish (Danio rerio), zooplankton (Daphnia magna), phytoplankton (Scenedesmus obliquus) were assessed for first time. The results indicated that (up 200 mg/L) could be depurated by D. rerio with negligible toxicity. comparison,...
Intensified disinfection of wastewater during the COVID-19 pandemic increased release toxic by-products (DBPs). However, studies relating to ecological impacts DBPs on aquatic environment remain insufficient. In this study, we comparatively investigated toxicities and risks 17 typical, halogenated three trophic levels organisms in freshwater ecosystem, including phytoplankton (Scenedesmus sp.), zooplankton (Daphnia magna), fish (Danio rerio). Toxicity was found be species-specific:...
Abstract Mangrove forests, one of the highest carbon density ecosystems, are very different from other forests as they occupy saline and tidal habitats. Although previous studies in shrublands grasslands have shown a positive effect biodiversity on plant biomass storage, it remains unclear whether this relation to also exists mangrove forests. Here, we evaluate possible effects species diversity, structural characteristics environmental factors production using survey data 234 field plots 30...
Abstract Aim Mangrove forests are important coastal wetlands for the blue carbon budget and play a significant role in mitigating global climate change. However, spatial patterns of stocks mangrove on an island scale have not been quantified owing to methodological limitations lack understanding controlling factors. We took entire Hainan Island as case study aimed carry out comprehensive investigation driving factors forests. Location Southern China. Time period 2017–2020. Major taxa studied...
