Background: Previous studies have indicated that cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are involved in the metabolism of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants humans, resulting formation hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs) potentially more toxic than parent PBDEs. However, specific enzymes responsible for OH-PBDEs unknown.Objectives: The purposes this study were to characterize vitro 2,2´,4,4´-tetrabromodiphenyl (BDE-47) by human liver microsomes (HLM) and recombinant CYPs, identify CYP(s)...
Wastewater treatment plants are known to be relevant input sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the aquatic environment. This study aimed investigate occurrence, fate, seasonal variability twenty-five PFAS four municipal wastewater (WWTP A, B, C, D) surrounding city Milan (Northern, Italy). Composite 24-h samples were collected July October 2021 May February 2022 from influents effluents WWTPs. detected at concentrations ranging between 24.1 66.9 μg L-1 for influent 13.4...
Abstract The performance of gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) was tested for the simultaneous determination twelve pyrethroid insecticides. First, a comparison two different ionization modes, electron (EI) and negative chemical (NCI), carried out using MS MS/MS. NCI‐MS/MS provided best results in terms selectivity sensitivity giving very low detection limits 0.11 to 450 fg injected. reliability method confirmed through evaluation quality parameters such as...
We propose a detailed investigation on the distribution patterns of benthic foraminiferal assemblage and their predominant species in highly contaminated marine sediments Naples harbour. Combined use multivariate canonical, cluster principal component analysis proper geostatistic framework provided an appropriate approach to explore role played by number contaminants (heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, heavy PCBs) different physical parameters (grain...
When considering joint toxic apical effects at higher levels of biological organization, such as the growth populations, so-called pharmacological mode action that relies on toxicological mechanistic molecular target sites may not be relevant. Such population rate will depend extent to which juvenile and adult survival rates production (juvenile developmental reproduction) are affected by exposure also sensitivity life-history changes. In cases, ecotoxicological action, defined crucial trait...
