Quantifying beryllium concentrations in plant shoots from forest ecosystems using cation‐exchange chromatography and quadrupole ICP‐MS

Analytical Science Advances, 2020
Beryllium (Be) is known to be one of the most toxic elements but at the same time exerts a stimulating effect on plant growth. Despite this contradiction, little is known about the Be metabolism in living organisms, partially because of the low amounts ...

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Acetylcholinesterase Activity in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linn.) Following Exposure to Carbamate Insecticide

Annals of Tropical Research, 2018
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities were determined as affected by exposure to sublethal doses of fenobucarb (BPMC) on Nile tilapia. Fish were exposed for different periods, namely: 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days.

Experimental Evidence for Mobilization of Mercury From the Eggshell by the Developing Embryo in an Avian Model Organism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the many pollutants wildlife is exposed to, mercury ranks among the most toxic. In birds, mercury does not only accumulate within generations, but also is transferred across generations via maternal offloading in eggs, with higher mercury concentrations found in shells of unhatched eggs.

Cytogenotoxic and Molecular Assessment of Pyrethrins on Non‐Target Allium cepa Roots

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pyrethrins, which form a part of naturally occurring insecticidal chemicals derived from chrysanthemum flowers, not only provide rapid knockdown of a broad spectrum of insect pests but are also widely used in integrated pest management due to a generally favorable safety profile, largely attributed to low mammalian toxicity.

Distribution Characteristics of Limpets Inhabiting the Rocky Intertidal Zone of the Western and Southern Coast of South Korea [PDF]

Geo Data
As a primary grazer in intertidal ecosystems, limpets play a key role in regulating algal cover and maintaining community structure. Therefore, the distribution and species composition of limpets can serve as effective biological indicators to assess the

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Mercury in Fish From a Gold‐Mining‐Impacted Amazonian River: Biomonitoring and Human Health Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

Diatom Flora from Time-Series Sediment Trap in the Kuroshio Extension Region of the Northwestern Pacific

Taxonomy
Precise identification of diatom species is fundamental to correctly interpreting their roles in the marine ecosystems; the documentation of species records with illustrations is therefore essential to guarantee ecological works and the continuous use of

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Air Quality Bioindicator Using the Population of Epiphytic Macrolichens in Bogor City, West Java [PDF]

, 2015
Studies about lichens and pollution in South-East Asia are restricted because the lichens are poorly known. A research project about air quality bioindicator using epiphytic macrolichens in Bogor City was conducted from March 2012 until July 2013 ...
