Joint toxicity of cadmium and phenanthrene in the freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca.
The joint toxicity of combined metals and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons is poorly understood and may deviate from the summed concentration responses of the individual pollutants. The freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca was exposed to sediment-amended Cd and phenanthrene (Phen) individually and in combination using United States Environmental Protection Agency 10-day sediment toxicity bioass...
متن کاملSilver nanoparticles in sewage treatment plant effluents: chronic effects and accumulation of silver in the freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca
Background Increasing amounts of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in wastewater can reach the aquatic environment by passing through the sewage treatment plant (STP). NPs can induce ecotoxicological effects due to their specific chemical properties. However, their bioavailability and toxicity are potentially influenced by transformation processes caused by substances present in the STP, e.g., hum...
متن کاملAssessment and validation of the CAESAR predictive model for bioconcentration factor (BCF) in fish
BACKGROUND Bioconcentration factor (BCF) describes the behaviour of a chemical in terms of its likelihood of concentrating in organisms in the environment. It is a fundamental property in recent regulations, such as the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use or the Globally Harmonized System for classification, labelling and packaging. These new regulations consider the p...
متن کاملBioconcentration of Pesticides in Fish from Rivers and Lakes
Pesticide contamination of river and lake waters from agriculture use is a problem of worldwide importance. Many field data on the pesticide contamination of surface waters and aquatic organisms in rivers and lakes (Amaraneri & Pillala, 2001, Abdel-Halim et al., 2006; Agradi et al., 2000; California Environmental Protection Agency, 2002; California Regional Water Quality Control Board, 2002; Ca...
متن کاملUptake and Bioconcentration of Atrazine by Selected Freshwater Algae
Atrazine bioconcentration and uptake were determined for eight freshwater green algae and diatoms. Atrazine uptake was extremely rapid in all species examined, with nearly 90% of total uptake occurring within the first hour of exposure. Within each division, different species had different bioconcentration capacities, although the accumulation of atrazine was consistently higher in green algae ...
