Time-course distribution of fluorescent microplastics in target tissues of mussels and polychaetes.
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
The majority of the plastic produced in the last century is accumulated in the environment, leading to an exacerbated contamination of marine environments due to transport from land to the ocean. In the ocean, mechanical ...
Predicting environmental concentrations and the potential risk of Plant Protection Products (PPP) on non-target soil organisms accounting for regional and landscape ecological variability in european soils
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
[EN] Plant Protection Products (PPP) raise concerns as their application may cause effects on some soil organisms considered non-target species which could be highly sensitive to some pesticides. The European Food and ...
Environmental risk assessment of PPP application in European soils and potential ecosystem service losses considering impacts on non-target organisms
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
The use of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) is leading to high exposure scenarios with potential risk to soil organisms, including non-target species. Assessment of the effects of PPPs on non-target organisms is one of the ...
Innovative in vivo and in vitro bioassays for the establishment of toxicity thresholds of pollutants in sediment quality assessment using polychaetes and their immune cells.
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
Sediment toxicity testing has become a crucial component for assessing the risks posed by contaminated sediments and for the development of sediment quality assessment strategies. Commonly used organisms for bioassays with ...
Seaweed: Nutritional and gastronomic perspective. A review
(Elsevier, 2024)
Seaweed are organisms rich in many bioactive compounds such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, fibers, essential amino acids, pigments, and fatty acids, which give them extraordinary antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antioxidant, ...
Molecular confirmation of pearl formation in arctic mussels (Mytilus edulis) caused by Gymnophallus bursicola (Odhner 1900) metacercariae
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-09)
In recent field studies, suspected gymnophallid metacercariae were histologically located in the mantle of mussels from the Norwegian Sea. Mussels from the sites in which that infection was detected also presented abnormally ...
Evidence of internalized microplastics in mussel tissues detected by volumetric Raman imaging
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Microplastics are a global ecological concern due to their potential risk to wildlife and human health. Animals ingest microplastics, which can enter the trophic chain and ultimately impact human well-being. The ingestion ...
