Nanomaterials in the environment: Behavior, fate, bioavailability, and effects
Tập 27 Số 9 - Trang 1825-1851 - 2008
Abstract The recent advances in nanotechnology and the corresponding increase in
the use of nanomaterials in products in every sector of society have resulted in
uncertainties regarding environmental impacts. The objectives of this review are
to introduce the key aspects pertaining to nanomaterials in the environment and
to discuss what is known concerning their fate, behavior, disposition, and
to...
Adverse outcome pathways: A conceptual framework to support ecotoxicology research and risk assessment
Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 730-741 - 2010
AbstractEcological risk assessors face increasing demands to assess more
chemicals, with greater speed and accuracy, and to do so using fewer resources
and experimental animals. New approaches in biological and computational
sciences may be able to generate mechanistic information that could help in
meeting these challenges. However, to use mechanistic data to support chemical
assessments, there i...
Inhibition of testicular growth in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to estrogenic alkylphenolic chemicals
Tập 15 Số 2 - Trang 194-202 - 1996
AbstractIt is becoming evident that an increasing number of widely used
industrial and agricultural chemicals are estrogenic. The biodegradation
products of a major group of nonionic surfactants, the alkylphenol
polyethoxylates, are one such group. Some of these chemicals are widespread
aquatic pollutants, and bioconcentrate in aquatic biota. Exposure of male
rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to...
Bioaccumulation and toxicity of silver compounds: A review
Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 89-108 - 1999
AbstractA eview of the literature revealed that bioaccumulation of silver in
soil is rather low, even if the soil is amended with silver‐containing sewage
sludge. Plants grown on tailings of silver mines were found to have silver
primarily in the root systems. In marine and freshwater systems, the highest
reported bioconcentration factors (BCFs) were observed in algae (>105), probably
because of a...
Integrated biomarker response: A useful tool for ecological risk assessment
Tập 21 Số 6 - Trang 1316-1322 - 2002
AbstractA battery of biomarkers is often used to evaluate the effects of
exposure to chemical contaminants and detect responses to environmental stress.
Unfortunately, field application of biomarkers is subject to various constraints
(e.g., the availability of living material) that can limit data acquisition and
prevent the use of multivariate methods during statistical analysis. In these
circumst...
Contamination of surface, ground, and drinking water from pharmaceutical production
Tập 28 Số 12 - Trang 2522-2527 - 2009
AbstractLow levels of pharmaceuticals are detected in surface, ground, and
drinking water worldwide. Usage and incorrect disposal have been considered the
major environmental sources of these microcontaminants. Recent publications,
however, suggest that wastewater from drug production can potentially be a
source of much higher concentrations in certain locations. The present study
investigated the...
Principal response curves: Analysis of time‐dependent multivariate responses of biological community to stress
Tập 18 Số 2 - Trang 138-148 - 1999
AbstractIn this paper a novel multivariate method is proposed for the analysis
of community response data from designed experiments repeatedly sampled in time.
The long‐term effects of the insecticide chlorpyrifos on the invertebrate
community and the dissolved oxygen (DO)–pH–alkalinity–conductivity syndrome, in
outdoor experimental ditches, are used as example data. The new method, which we
have ...
Groundwater ubiquity score: A simple method for assessing pesticide leachability
Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 339-357 - 1989
AbstractGovernment agencies at both the state and federal levels now face
increasing pressures to assess the likelihood of pesticide occurrence in
well‒water supplies. Screening methodologies are required in order to determine
which pesticides now in use should receive the greatest attention with respect
to groundwater, and in order to determine whether elaborate and expensive
groundwater testing ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments and mussels of the western Mediterranean sea
Tập 17 Số 5 - Trang 765-776 - 1998
AbstractThe distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been
investigated in superficial sediments and mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) of
the western Mediterranean sea (French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia). The analyses
were performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The
PAH concentrations ranged from 1 to 20,500 ng/g in the sediments. Different
molecul...
