Artemia salina Toxicity Assay: Standardization in a 24‐Well Microplate

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bioassays with Artemia sp. are widely used in aquatic, environmental, and human toxicology as an initial tool to investigate the toxicity of plant extracts, isolated compounds, drugs, and products of natural or synthetic origin. These assays allow for the estimation of the median lethal concentration (LC50) and guide subsequent studies in ...

Effect of Propylparaben on In Vitro Maturation of Porcine Oocytes and Embryo Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parabens are synthetic chemicals that, due to their antibacterial and fungicidal effects, are widely used as preservatives in food, cosmetics, and personal care products, such as shampoos, hair conditioners, body creams, soaps, deodorants, makeup, wet wipes, lotions, female hygiene products, and vaginal lubricants. Several years ago, they were

Acute toxicity and histopathological effects of treated pharmaceutical effluent on Clarias gariepinus (African Catfish): LC50, physicochemical characterization, and tissue damage assessment

The Proceedings of the Nigerian Academy of Science
Pharmaceutical effluents represent a growing environmental concern, yet studies on the toxicological impacts of treated pharmaceutical wastewater on freshwater fish remain limited, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Exposure to Structurally Related Organophosphate Esters Elicits Distinct Metabolomic Perturbations in Daphnia magna

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
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.

Resource Availability Modulates Effects of Fluorine Free Firefighting Foams

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluorine‐free foam (F3) alternatives that lack per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are rapidly being adopted for firefighting operations and will be entering ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their impact on freshwater communities.

LETHAL EFFECTS OF 2,2-DICHLOROVINYL DIMETHYL PHOSPHATE (DDVP) ON FINGERLING AND JUVENILE Clarias gariepinus (BURCHELL, 1822) [PDF]

Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 2013
This study investigated the lethal toxicity of 2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) on African mud catfish, Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (mean weight 7.02 ± 2.56 g) and juveniles (mean weight 13.54 ± 1.46 g) in a static renewable bioassay. DDVP,

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 ...

Route‐Dependent Toxicity and Ecological Selectivity of Melaleuca alternifolia Essential Oil in Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of agricultural practices has led to an increase in the use of insecticides, raising concerns about the exposure of non‐target organisms, particularly pollinators. In this context, plant‐derived essential oils have been proposed as environmentally friendlier alternatives due to their low persistence; however, their ...
