Hyalella curvispina (Amphipoda) as a test organism in laboratory toxicity testing of environmental samples
(Parlar Scientific Publications, 2011-02)
An intercalibration exercise using blind-liquid samples containing Cr+6 and Zn+2 as well as environmental sediment samples was carried out between two laboratories using H. curvispina as test organism. For liquid samples, ...
South American Cowbirds as Avian Models for Environmental Toxicity Testing
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
In environmental toxicity testing, the use of native species is normally recommended as it provides greater environmental realism and insures a more conservative end point for protecting ecosystems. Although pesticide ...
Synergy between Diazinon and Nonylphenol in toxicity during the early development of the Rhinella arenarum toad
(Springer, 2016-02)
Diazinon is an extensively applied organophosphate pesticide, and nonylphenol is one of the major degradation products of nonylphenol polyethoxylates which are commonly used as surfactant in pesticide formulations. Both ...
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 ...
Nanomaterials toxicity and teratogenicity in aquatic environment using Rhinella arenarum model
(Elsevier Ireland, 2016-10)
Nanotechnology is growing at an exponential rate and will undoubtedly have both beneficial and toxicological impact and consequences on health and environment. Amphibians are being increasingly used for toxicity screening ...
Monitoring of toxicity of As(V) solutions by AMPHITOX test without and with treatment with zerovalent iron nanoparticles
(Elsevier Science, 2018-06)
Changes in toxicity of As(V) solutions from acute to chronic exposure have been evaluated by the AMPHITOX test. This test employs Rhinella arenarum, a widely distributed toad in Argentine areas. LOEC values were 6.37 and ...
Insecticidal and Insect-repellent Activities of Essential Oils from Verbenaceae and Anacardiaceae Against Rhizopertha dominica
(Natural Products Inc., 2009-09)
Essential oils extracted from leaves of Aloysia polystachya and A. citriodora (Verbenaceae) and from leaves and fruits of Schinus molle var. areira (Anacardiaceae) were tested for their repellent and toxic activities against ...
Subchronic and acute preclinic toxicity and some pharmacological effects of the water extract from leaves of Petiveria alliacea (Phytolaccaceae)Subchronic and acute preclinic toxicity and some pharmacological effects of the water extract from leaves of Petiveria alliacea (Phytolaccaceae)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2006)
Sorting the main bottlenecks to use paper-based microbial fuel cells as convenient and practical analytical devices for environmental toxicity testing
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Three of the primary bottlenecks, which should be consider for practical, point-of-need use of microbial fuel cell (MFC) analytical devices were surpassed in this work: i) the use of a diffusive barrier, hence, an electrogenic ...
Application of two bioassays as potential indicators of phenol phytoremediation efficiency by tobacco hairy roots
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-08)
Phenol is one of the contaminants most frequently found in the environment and it is considered a priority pollutant due to their toxic effects. Hairy roots (HR) constitute a good model tool for the removal of this ...
