Atmospheric pollution from vehicular traffic is a matter of growing interest, often leading to temporary restrictions in urban areas. Although guidelines indicate limits for several parameters, the real toxicologic impacts remain largely unexplored field conditions. In this study our aim was validate an ecotoxicologic approach evaluate both bioaccumulation and effects caused by airborne pollutants. Specimens land snail Helix aspersa were caged five sites area Ancona, Italy. After 4 weeks,...
Cigarette butts (CBs), one of the most common litter items found on beaches, represent a still unexplored environmental hazard. This study aimed at multidisciplinary characterization their toxicological risks marine organisms integrating chemical analyses released compounds with wide panel biological responses, such as ecotoxicological bioassays species different trophic positions, molecular responses in an ex vivo model (Precision-Cut Tissue Slices, PCTS mussels digestive glands),...
Once in the marine environment, fishing nets and cables undergo weathering, breaking down into micro nano-size particles leaching plastic additives, which negatively affect biota. This study aims to unravel ecotoxicological impact of different concentrations leachate obtained from abandoned or lost mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis under long-term exposure (28 days). Biochemical biomarkers linked antioxidant defense system, xenobiotic biotransformation, oxidative damage, genotoxicity,...
Multidisciplinary investigations based on integration of chemical and biological measurements, represent an added value to monitoring management protocols, their use is recommended by European Directives evaluate environmental status aquatic ecosystems. Nonetheless, assessing the overall significance results from different studies still a challenge. This work was aimed present quantitative Weight Of Evidence (WOE) model (Sediqualsoft) integrate huge amounts heterogeneous data validate this...
The impact of leachates from micronized beached plastics the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean on coastal marine ecosystems was investigated by using a multidisciplinary approach. Chemical analysis ecotoxicological tests phylogenetically distant species were performed following plastic categories: bottles, pellets, hard (HP) containers, fishing nets (FN) rapido trawling rubber (RTR). bacteria Alivibrio fischeri, nauplii crustaceans Amphibalanus amphitrite Acartia tonsa, rotifer Brachionus...
