The global chemical inventory includes neurotoxins that are mostly interrogated concerning the biological response in developing organisms. Effects of pollutants on adults receive less attention, although vulnerabilities can be expected throughout entire life span young, middle-aged and old individuals. We use animal model Caenorhabditis elegans to systematically quantify neurological outcomes by application an age-resolved method. Adult hermaphrodite worms were exposed or non-chemical...
A wide variety of active pharmaceutical ingredients are released into the environment and pose a threat to aquatic organisms. Drug products using micro- nanoparticle technology can lower these emissions by their increased bioavailability human patients. However, due this enhanced efficacy, nanoscale drug delivery systems potentially display an even higher toxicity, thus also risk non-target Fenofibrate is lipid-regulating agent exhibits species-related hazards in fish. The ecotoxic effects...
