It is virtually impossible to reliably assess water quality with target chemical analyses only. Therefore, a complementary effect-based risk assessment by bioanalyses on mixtures of bioavailable micropollutants proposed: the Smart Integrated Monitoring (SIMONI) strategy. The goal this strategy obtain more reliable information select optimum measures for improvement. SIMONI 2-tiered. Tier 1 bioanalytical hazard identification sites. A tier 2 ecological carried out only at limited number sites...
A large portion of the toxic effects observed in surface waters cannot be attributed to compounds regularly measured by water authorities. Hence, there is an urgent need for effect-based monitoring strategy that employs bioassays identify environmental risks. The aim present study was perform nationwide quality assessment ecotoxicological risks a wide variety waters. At 45 locations silicone rubbers and polar organic chemical integrative samplers were exposed 6 weeks. Alongside passive...
Abstract Samples of sediment and eel taken from six sites in Amsterdam with different levels water pollution were analyzed for 16 parental PAHs In addition, biliary PAH metabolites hepatic PAH-DNA adducts determined the to evaluate biomomtoring techniques exposure There was a clear difference between profiles sediments Mainly two- three-ring detected eel, whereas four-ring predominated Because bioaccumulation highest reference sites, tissue are probably not most accurate monitor fish An...
Complex physiological traits, such as routine aerobic metabolic rate or exercise performance, are indicators of the functional integrity fish that can reveal sub-lethal toxicological effects aquatic pollutants. These traits have proved valuable in laboratory investigations heavy metals, ammonia and various xenobiotics. It is not known, however, whether they also function biomarkers complex potential range upon overall caused by exposure to mixtures chemicals polluted natural environments....
Legally-prescribed chemical monitoring is unfit for determining the pollution status of surface waters, and there a need improved assessment methods that consider aggregated risk all bioavailable micropollutants present in aquatic environment. Therefore, study aimed to advance effect-based water quality by implementing methodological improvements gain insight into contamination source-specific bioanalytical responses. Passive sampling non-polar polar organic compounds metals was applied at...
A plethora of in vitro bioassays are developed the context chemical risk assessment and clinical diagnostics to test effects on different biological processes. Such assays can also be implemented effect-based monitoring (EBM) (drinking) water quality alongside analyses. Effects-based provide insight into risks for environment human health associated with exposure (unknown) complex, low-level mixtures micropollutants, which fits risk-based approach that was recently introduced European...
Because it is impossible to chemically analyze all relevant micropollutants, the implementation of bioanalytical tools essential estimate ecological risks chemical mixtures in regular water-monitoring programs. The first tier Smart Integrated Monitoring (SIMONI) strategy, which was described part I, based on combination passive sampling and measurements. Bioassay responses are compared with effect-based trigger values (EBT), an overall SIMONI score bioassay data designed indicate...
