Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in the Shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862): Assessment in an Environmental Preservation Area in the Brazilian Amazon

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities generate a significant amount of pollutants that are released into the environment, causing physiological and ecological disturbances. Among the xenobiotics present in aquatic ecosystems, numerous chemical and organic compounds have oxidative potential or are metabolized through oxidative processes, which may amplify ...

Environmental Contaminant Accumulation in Freshwater Turtles Inhabiting Three Rivers of the Permian Basin, New Mexico, USA

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Assessment of Oxidative Stress, Vitellogenin, and Human Health Risks Derived From Nile Tilapia Exposed to Metals and Metalloids in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

Insects as bioindicators

, 2023
Industrial revolution, intensive agriculture and growing human population are causing extensive exploitation of natural ecosystem which leads to advanced destruction process of land ecosystem. As ecosystem more complex and their biological communities, it is not easy to directly assess the health of natural environments.

Cytogenotoxic Effects of Fluopyram in Allium cepa Root Cells Involving Microtubule Disruption

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluopyram is a next‐generation fungicide widely used in agriculture; however, its persistence in soils and mobility toward aquatic systems have raised concerns regarding potential ecotoxicological risks. This study evaluated the cytogenotoxic effects of a commercial fluopyram‐based pesticide formulation on Allium cepa root meristem cells ...
