Nanoplastic debris, resulted from runoff and weathering breakdown of macro- microplastics, represents an emerging concern for marine ecosystems. The aim the present study was to investigate disposition toxicity polystyrene nanoparticles (NPs) in early development sea urchin embryos (Paracentrotus lividus). NPs with two different surface charges where chosen, carboxylated (PS-COOH) amine (PS-NH2) polystyrene, latter being a less common variant, known induce cell death several vitro systems....
The widespread use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in a variety technologies and consumer products inevitably causes their release into aquatic environments final deposition the oceans. In addition, growing number ENM are being developed specifically for marine applications, such as antifouling coatings environmental remediation systems, thus increasing need to address any potential risks organisms ecosystems. To safeguard environment, major scientific gaps related assessing designing...
Polystyrene nanoparticles have been shown to pose serious risk marine organisms including sea urchin embryos based on their surface properties and consequently behaviour in natural water. The aim of this study is investigate the toxicity pathways amino polystyrene (PS-NH2, 50 nm) Paracentrotus lividus terms development signalling at both protein gene levels. Two sub-lethal concentrations 3 4 μg/mL PS-NH2 were used expose water (PS-NH2 as aggregates 143 ± 5 nm). At 24 48 h post-fertilisation...
Food packaging is a crucial step in the storage of many food products, but it raises several concerns related to materials used its production. Among these, various types plastic particles are commonly containers, posing risk migration into food. One them frequently stored different cow's milk. Despite nutritional significance, very limited data available on occurrence contaminants milk, and no study has investigated influence type. To partially address this gap, present aimed compare...
The water-soluble polymers (WSPs) are widely used in many industrial applications and present several commonly products due to their physical-chemical characteristics: as name indicates, despite being synthetic polymers, they able solubilize water. Because of this peculiar property, both the qualitative-quantitative evaluation aquatic ecosystems potential (eco)toxicological effects have been neglected until now. aim study was evaluate possible three most WSPs polyacrylic acid (PAA),...
