ABSTRACT The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the United States Microbead Free Waters Act are credited for being ambitious in their goals protecting marine environment from microplastics pollution. As a result, microplastic pollution of environments incidence ingestion by fish is rapidly receiving an increase overdue attention. This commentary summarizes recent discoveries regarding potential negative effects micro‐ nanoplastic fish. Analysis shows that occurrence...
Water pollution with large-scale and small-scale plastic litter is an area of growing concern. Macro-plastic a well-known threat to aquatic wildlife; however, the effects micro-sized nano-sized particles on health organisms are not well understood. Small-scale can easily be ingested by various potentially interfere their immune system; therefore, authors used freshwater fish species as model organism for nanoplastic exposure. Characterization polystyrene (41.0 nm) polycarbonate (158.7 (PSNPs...
Nano-TiO2 is immunotoxic to fish and reduces the bactericidal function of neutrophils. Here, fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were exposed low high environmentally relevant concentration nano-TiO2 (2 ng g(-1) 10 μg body weight, respectively), challenged with common bacterial pathogens, Aeromonas hydrophila or Edwardsiella ictaluri. Pre-exposure significantly increased mortality during challenge. concentrated in kidney spleen. Phagocytosis assay demonstrated that has ability diminish...
In this paper, the chemical composition and biological activity of essential oil <i>Artemisia absinthium</i> was studied. The aim study to investigate potential ethnopharmacological uses plant species in treatment gastrointestinal diseases wounds, as an insect repellent. aerial part hydrodistilled, analyzed by gas chromatography chromatography/mass spectrometry. Forty-seven compounds, corresponding 94.65 % total oil, were identified, with main constituents being sabinene (24.49 %), sabinyl...
Abstract Increased use of manufactured titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano‐TiO 2 ) is causing a rise in their concentration the aquatic environment, including coral reef ecosystems. Caribbean mountainous star ( Montastraea faveolata has frequently been used as model species to study gene expression during stress and bleaching events. Specimens M. were collected Panama exposed for 17 d nano‐TiO suspensions (0.1 mg L −1 10 ). Exposure caused significant zooxanthellae expulsion all colonies,...
In this study, fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) were exposed to an estimated daily human E171 consumption concentration for 20 generations. Exposure resulted in: a change in normal developmental and reproductive dynamics, reduced fecundity after repetitive breeding, increased genotoxicity, the appearance of aberrant phenotypes morphologic changes adult fat body. Marks adaptive evolution directional selection also exhibited. The larval stages at higher risk sustaining damage from as they...
Over the course of 78 days, nine outdoor mesocosms, each with 1350 L capacity, were situated on a pontoon platform in middle lake and exposed to 0 μg L−1 TiO2, 25 TiO2 or 250 nanoparticles form E171 human food additive five times week. Mesocosms inoculated sediment, phytoplankton, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, macrophytes fish before exposure, ensuring complete web. Physicochemical parameters water, nutrient concentrations, biomass taxa monitored. Concentrations caused reduction available...
Benthic communities contain some of the most threatened organisms in aquatic habitats due to different anthropogenic pressures. The high abundance microplastics sediments will continue increase future, further increasing probability interactions between macroinvertebrates and microplastics. In present study, a benthic community relatively pristine shallow pond was exposed either an environmentally relevant concentration microplastic mixture 80 g m-2 sediment, or control without addition...
