Abstract:
... Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are pesticides with global scale ubiquity, persistence and bioaccumulation, which leave long-term residuals in the water body. OCPs’ high toxicity poses significant threats to human health and aquatic biodiversity, making assessment of OCPs’ impact on aquatic ecology and human health urgently necessary. In this research, the presence of 16 OCPs in surface water and ...

aquatic ecosystems; bioaccumulation; biodiversity; bioremediation; biosensors; carcinogenicity; fish; hydrophobicity; livelihood; monitoring; mutagens; pollutants; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; sediments
Abstract:
... Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most ubiquitous environmental pollutants of high global concern. PAHs belong to a diverse family of hydrocarbons with over one hundred compounds known, each containing at least two aromatic rings in their structure. Due to hydrophobic nature, PAHs tend to accumulate in the aquatic sediments, leading to bioaccumulation and elevated concentration ...

Abstract:
... The extensive use of TiO2 nanoparticles (nTiO2) in industrial products has led to their release into the marine environment, thereby posing a potential risk to marine organisms. However, in addition to affecting marine organisms through its inherent properties, nTiO2 can also act as a vehicle for other toxic pollutants due to their strong adsorption ability through the “Trojan horse” effect. Due t ...

Anisotremus; Sphyraena barracuda; bioaccumulation; biodiversity; carbon; coral reefs; ecosystems; food webs; invertebrates; mercury; muscle tissues; nitrogen; predatory fish; stable isotopes; Florida
Abstract:
... Total mercury (Hg) and stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon were determined in the muscle tissue of 50 species of fishes and invertebrates collected at two sites along the Florida reef tract from April 2012 to December 2013. The objective was to test the hypothesis that high biodiversity in coral reefs leading to complex food webs with increased lateral links reduces biomagnification. However, H ...

Abstract:
... The wide application of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and phosphorus in the manufacturing of many industrial products mainly used in agricultural sector has resulted in the release of considerable amounts of these compounds into freshwater aquatic ecosystem. These compounds may cause some unexpected effects to aquatic organisms. This study assessed the binary effects of Titanium nanoparticles (nT ...

Abstract:
... Many rivers have been impacted by heavy metal pollution in the past but the long-term legacies on biodiversity are difficult to estimate. The River Ulla (NW Spain) was impacted by tailings from a copper mine during the 1970–1980s but absence of baseline values and lack of subsequent monitoring have prevented a full impact assessment. We used archived fish scales of Atlantic salmon to reconstruct l ...
