Multistressor Interaction of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Temperature in Two Estuarine Fish Species, Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is characterized by a long, fluorinated carbon chain which makes it ideal for oil‐ and water‐repellent products but detrimental for the environment, where it persists and accumulates in organisms.

Bioassay for Detection of Dichlorvos Insecticide in Air in Alfalfa Leafcutting Bee (Megachile Rotundata F.) Incubators

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2014
Dichlorvos is an insecticide used in slow-release plastic strips for controlling chalcid wasp parasites, such as Pteromalus venustus Walker, in incubators used to raise alfalfa leafcutting bees (Megachile rotundata F.). Beekeepers need a practical method

Diflubenzuron Caused Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Ca2+ Homeostasis Disruption, and Intrinsic Apoptosis in Trophoblastic Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diflubenzuron is used as an insect growth inhibitor, and its potential risk to human health was raised owing to the possibility of environmental residues and human exposure. This study aimed to investigate the toxic mechanism of diflubenzuron on trophoblastic cells such as HTR8/SVneo and JEG‐3 cells. We investigated mitochondrial function, Ca2+

Acute Contact Toxicity of Six Pesticides in Honeybees (Apis Mellifera Meda) in Iran

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2017
Pollination has an important role in both agricultural production and wild plant reproduction. For the pollination of crops, agriculture relies largely on managed colonies of the honeybee Apis mellifera.

Beyond Removal Efficiency: Environmental Risk Assessment of Tartrazine Degradation via ZnO and TiO2 Nanoparticles in Mussels

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tartrazine (TZ) is a widely used synthetic azo dye with high aqueous stability, resulting in persistence in wastewater. Photoreactive nanomaterials, principally zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs), are frequently employed for dye removal under light‐exposed conditions; nevertheless, their ecotoxicological ...

تعیین درجه سمیت دیازینون و بررسی اثر آن بر روی برخی شاخص های آنزیمی در فیل ماهی (Huso huso) [PDF]

مجله بهره‌برداری و پرورش آبزیان, 2014
در این تحقیق، به منظور تعیین LC50 و درجه سمیت آفت کش دیازینون در گونه فیل ماهی ابتدا آزمایش سمیت کشنده انجام شد و سپس اثرات غلظت های تحت کشنده آن بر دو شاخص آنزیمی عمومی (ALT و AST) و یک شاخص آنزیمی اختصاصی (AChE) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت.

Effects of Helicoverpa armigera Nucleopolyhedrosis virus (HaNPV) on the larvae of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Plant Protection Science, 2014
Laboratory studies were performed to determine the insecticidal activity of baculovirus against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. The nucleopolyhedrosis (HaNPV) was tested against 2nd instar larvae fed on cabbage leaf disks treated with aqueous ...

Interspecific Differences in the Effects on Embryos Between Freshwater and Marine Fish Exposed to Water‐Accommodated Fractions Derived From Very‐Low Sulfur Fuel Oil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the toxic effects of water‐accommodated fractions (WAFs) of very‐low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) on freshwater and marine fish embryos. Embryos of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), Java medaka (Oryzias javanicus), and grass puffer (Takifugu alboplumbeus) were exposed to various concentrations of VLSFO‐WAF, and the effects on ...

Influence of Age and Exposure Pathway on Copper and Cadmium Mixture Toxicity: A Study on Daphnia magna

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems poses substantial risks to freshwater organisms, with mixture effects often deviating from predictions based on single‐metal toxicity. Understanding how age‐specific sensitivities and multiple exposure pathways influence mixture effects is critical for accurate risk assessment.
