BIOMONITORING OF SURFACE WATER TOXICITY RELATED TO URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER RELEASE

Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais, 2016
Water toxicity was biomonitoried by Tradescantia pallida, relating the results to physicochemical and qualitative analysis. Two clusters were formed by hierarchical analysis of micronuclei percentage (MN), dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity ...

Assessing the Genotoxic Effects of Emerging Organic Contaminants in Water Systems: Current Trends and Future Directions

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) represent a growing concern for global water security due to their persistence, bioactivity, and potential to induce genotoxic effects in aquatic organisms and humans. This review critically examines the current state of genotoxicity assessment for EOCs by integrating established testing frameworks with advanced ...

Feasibility of an Aquaponic System Composed of a Living Wall Coupled With an Ornamental Pond With Fish in Real‐Life Conditions

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Green and blue infrastructures are often combined to create pleasant urban landscapes and provide new ecosystems in the built environment. New techniques for building integrated vegetation systems, such as vertical greening, are becoming common. In this work, we evaluate a case study of a combined aquaponic system composed of a living wall (LW)

Context dependence of grassland plant response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: The influence of plant successional status and soil resources

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1397-1408, June 2025.
Overall greater responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi by late successional species is consistent with an important role of AM fungi in plant succession, even while AM fungi are less impactful overall in high P soils. However, the increase in responsiveness of below‐ground allocation of late successional species to AM fungi in low water ...

Sensitivity of Tradescantia pallida (Rose) Hunt. ‘Purpurea’ Boom to genotoxicity induced by ozone

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2009
The aims of this study were to investigate the sensitivity of Tradescantia pallida 'Purpurea' to genotoxicity induced by ozone, by means of the micronucleus (MCN) bioassay, to verify whether the intensity of genotoxic responses in inflorescences is modulated by concentrations of ascorbic acid (AA) in their bracts, and/or by air temperature variations ...

Evaluation of vehicular pollution using the TRAD-MCN mutagenic bioassay with Tradescantia pallida (Commelinaceae) [PDF]

Environmental Pollution, 2018
Biomonitoring is one of the tools used to assess the mutagenic potential of the atmosphere. In this study, the mutagenicity of Tradescantia pallida, a species of plant largely present in urban environments, was investigated. The objectives of this study was to estimate the mutagenic potential of vehicular flow through the TRAD-MCN bioassay in cities ...
