Allium cepa and Tradescantia pallida bioassays to evaluate effects of the insecticide imidacloprid

Chemosphere, 2015
The indiscriminate use of pesticides has become a serious environmental concern. Of them, imidacloprid (IMI) is one of the most widely used worldwide. In 2010 in Brazil, 1.934 tonnes of IMI were sold and mainly used for sugarcane crops. Several studies have examined the toxicity of IMI as well as its possible ecological effects.

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)
