ABSTRACT Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are found ubiquitously in the environment and exposure to these chemicals has induced behavioral, developmental, and morphological impairments in several model organisms. Yet there is still a lack of understanding of how sub‐lethal exposure disrupts organism function at the molecular‐level, especially for Daphnia ...

ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

ABSTRACT This study investigates the chronic effects of chlordecone (CLD) and propylparaben (PP), two pro‐estrogenic endocrine disruptors, on Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766 using a multiscale approach over a 14‐day exposure period. Environmentally relevant concentrations of CLD (0.5, 5, 20 μg L−1) and PP (0.01, 0.05, 0.40 μg L−1) were tested individually ...

Urbanization reduces wildlife habitat, increasing human–wildlife conflict. These conflicts disproportionately afflict avian species, as their ecological traits and habitat niches predispose them to physical trauma, disease, and chemical contamination. Wildlife rehabilitation centers provide critical care for these birds, but overlapping symptoms make ...

ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...

Estimation methods for bioaccumulation in risk assessment of organic chemicals.
The methodology for estimating bioaccumulation of organic chemicals is evaluated. This study is limited to three types of organisms: fish, earthworms and plants (leaf crops, root crops and grass). We propose a simple mechanistic model for estimating BCFs

This study compared the ecological toxicity of organic ultraviolet filters, octocrylene (OC) and ethylhexyl salicylate (EHS), on zebrafish embryos and larvae. EHS exhibited higher acute toxicity, causing increased mortality, hypoactive behavior at 50 mg/L, and disruptions in lipid homeostasis, while OC primarily affected hypoxia response and ...
