HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN ROOTS OF ТARAXACUM OFFICINALE WIGG [PDF]

, 2018
Soil is an active acceptor for some elements, heavy metals in particular. Microelements are firmly sorbed and interact with soil humus layer. At the same time some plants are resistant to soil contamination and can be used as bioindicators.

Untreated Hair Dye Effluents Enter the Environment: Are They a Threat to Human Health?

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effluents generated during the process of hair dyeing exhibit a complex composition, comprising chemical compounds with varying toxicity levels. While the adverse impact of hair dyes on human health is acknowledged, there is a notable absence of studies addressing the toxicity associated with effluents produced during these activities. The

Zooplankton-based assessment of the trophic state of a tropical forest river in Nigeria [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2009
In this study, we explore the usefulness of zooplankton as a tool for assessing the trophic status of a Nigerian forest river. The river was sampled monthly and investigated for water physico-chemistry and zooplankton community structure using basic ...

The impact of cattle drinking points on aquatic macroinvertebrates in streams in south-east Ireland [PDF]

, 2019
peer-reviewedTeagasc PublicationMeasures that prevent cattle access to watercourses are commonly implemented through agri-environment schemes, in an effort to address the objectives of the Water Framework Directive. Despite the widespread implementation,

Comprehensive Evaluation of Bisphenol A Toxicity Reveals Neurobehavioral, Metabolic, and Reproductive Impairments in Girardia tigrina

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a common industrial chemical used in plastics and consumer products, is increasingly detected in aquatic environments, raising serious concerns about its potential ecological impacts. This study evaluated the sublethal and acute toxic effects of BPA on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, a recognized model for ...

Assessing the Effectiveness of Rotation Growing of Industrial Hemp and Alfalfa in Post-Mining Agricultural Reclamation: Using Soil Fauna as an Indicator

Agriculture
The reclamation of post-mining land for agricultural purposes has continued to be a big challenge. Our study concerns the use of soil microfauna (nematodes) and mesofauna (mites and springtails) as indicators of soil quality after 6 years of agricultural

The Employment of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Disinfection Poses a Threat to Aquatic Ecosystems Because of Its Toxicity to Nontarget Organisms

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, particularly in advanced oxidation processes that aid in the degradation of compounds and microbial disinfection. Despite concerns about potential environmental contamination, its impact on freshwater ecosystems remains inadequately studied.

Freshwater and Sediment Host Distinct Yet Overlapping Microeukaryotic Communities, With Sediment Communities Less Impacted by Treated Wastewater. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT Freshwater and sediment environments host diverse microeukaryotic communities that differ in structure and composition, yet exhibit taxonomic overlap. Using 18S V9 rRNA gene sequencing, we compared communities from these habitats in controlled 10‐day mesocosm experiments, examining diversity, overlap, and responses to treated wastewater (TWW).
