Author:

Trends in analytical chemistry 2019 v.111 pp. 139-147
ISSN:

Subject:
aquatic invertebrates; birds; environmental impact; humans; insects; marine mammals; mechanism of action; nanoplastics; sea turtles; tissues
Abstract:
... Following a decade of research on the environmental impacts of microplastics, a knowledge gap remains on the processes by which micro and nanoplastics pass across biological barriers, enter cells and are subject to biological mechanisms. Here we summarize available literature on the accumulation of microplastics and their associated contaminants in a variety of organisms including humans. Most dat ...

Abstract:
... Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that entered the market to replace organochlorides and organophosphates. Fipronil impairs the regular inhibition of nerve impulses that ultimately result in paralysis and death of insects. Because of its use as a pest control, and due to runoff events, fipronil has been detected in freshwater systems near agricultural areas, and therefore might represent a ...

anthropogenic activities; aquatic ecosystems; aquatic habitat; aquatic invertebrates; community structure; ecological imbalance; environmental education; environmental impact; macroinvertebrates; species abundance; species richness; streams; students; terrestrial ecosystems; Ohio
Abstract:
... Environmental impacts from ecotourism and outdoor recreation activities on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are well-reported in the literature, but less is known regarding the impacts of outdoor environmental education activities. Student activity during stream classes may cause substrate disruption and localized impacts on stream macroinvertebrates. We hypothesized that student activity would ...

Journal of environmental management 2019 v.250 pp. 109484

Subject:
acid mine drainage; alkalinity; aquatic invertebrates; coal; community structure; drainage; ecosystems; environmental impact; heavy metals; iron; macroinvertebrates; oxidation; pH; remediation; rivers; species richness; streams; sulfates; taxonomy; toxicity; water quality; Ohio River; Pennsylvania
Abstract:
... Over 4000 km of Pennsylvania's flowing waters and attendant ecosystems have been degraded by mine drainage to the exclusion of multiple designated uses. Both Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) and Net Alkaline Mine Drainage (NAMD) may result from coal extraction depending on the underlying geology. Acid Mine Drainage is characterized as an acidic mixture of toxic heavy metals in solution, while NAMD is circ ...

5. Is metal flocculation from mining activities a previously overlooked mechanism for impairing freshwater ecosystems?

Science of the total environment 2019 v.671 pp. 1108-1115

Subject:
aquatic invertebrates; environmental impact; flocculants; flocculation; freshwater ecosystems; gills; macroinvertebrates; metals; mining; pollution; toxicity; water quality criteria
Abstract:
... Ecological effects of mining activity are a global concern; with most studies ascribing the effect on freshwater biota to metal toxicity from metal uptake through dietary or dissolved metal exposure. Although the potential for smothering effects from metal flocs has been suggested, studies have not separated metal toxicity effects and smothering effects from metal flocs on stream macroinvertebrate ...

Abstract:
... This study examined to what degree bioaccumulated pesticides in transplanted zebra mussels can give an insight to pesticide bioavailability in the environment. In addition, it was investigated if pesticide body residues could be related to ecological responses (changes in macroinvertebrate community composition). For this at 17 locations, 14 pesticide concentrations and nine dissolved metals were ...

Abstract:
... This review explores the impact of pollutants on aquatic wildlife populations employing the case of tributyltin (TBT), a widely used antifouling paint ingredient banned globally in 2008. Attention has focused primarily on TBT's effects on populations of mollusc species, but this review shows that many other species were affected to a greater or lesser extent, including crustaceans, tunicates and s ...
