Toxicity and genotoxicity assessment in sediments from the Matanza-Riachuelo river basin (Argentina) under the influence of heavy metals and organic contaminants
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the parameters of chemical extraction associated with the detection of toxicity and genotoxicity in sediment sample extracts. Quantitative analysis of metals and polycyclic aromatic ...
Monitoring the ecotoxicity of γ-Al2O3 and Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 nanomaterials by means of a battery of bioassays
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-10)
The increasing application of nanoparticles (NPs) to a variety of new technologies has become a matter ofconcern due to the potential toxicity of these materials. Many questions about the fate of NPs in the environmentand ...
Phytotoxicity and genotoxicity assessment of imazethapyr herbicide using a battery of bioassays
(Springer Heidelberg, 2015-12)
The imazethapyr herbicide (formulation Verosil®) was evaluated for phytotoxicity and genotoxicity using a battery of bioassays: (1) the growth inhibition of the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, (2) the root ...
Effects of vegetable oil pollution on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblage in a freshwater wetland and its use as a remediation tool
(Springer, 2013-08)
The occurrence, as well as the environmental fate and impact, of vegetable oil spills in freshwater wetlands have until now been unreported. Thus, the largest global vegetable oil spillage in a freshwater wetland, which ...
Effects of sewage sludge application on unfertile tropical soils evaluated by multiple approaches: A field experiment in a commercial Eucalyptus plantation
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-03-10)
Sewage sludge (SS) reuse in forest plantation as soil fertilizer/amendment has tremendously increased in recent years. However, SS may have high concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTE), representing a potential ...
Efeito do Ácido Ocadáico tratado com pulso ultravioleta no fitoplâncton usando o teste miniaturizado modificado
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBrasilUFRNEcologia, 2016)
Okadaic acid (OA) is a biotoxin produced by dinoflagellate from two genera Dinophysis and Prorocentrum. It is easily accumulated in filter feeding leading to Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in humans. The symptoms ...
Evaluation of a battery of toxicity tests for use in the assessment of water quality in a Costa Rican laboratory
(Wiley Periodicals, Estados Unidos, 2000)
The Laboratory for Ecotoxicological Studies (ECOTOX) of IRET evaluated the following toxicity tests: Daphnia magna (daphnia test), Hydra attenuata (hydra test), Allium sp. (onion test), Panagrellus redivivus (nematode ...
Multibiomarker response in ten spotted live-bearer fish Cnesterodon decemmaculatus (Jenyns, 1842) exposed to Reconquista river water
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
The aim of this paper is to assess the water quality to chemical pollution at Roggero Dam, the headwater of the Reconquista river, and to perform a Cadmium (Cd) contamination pulse simulation through a wide battery of ...
