Aquatic environments are often contaminated with complex mixtures of chemicals that may
pose a risk to ecosystems and human health. This contamination cannot be addressed with …

Sediment is an important compartment in aquatic environments and acts as a sink for
environmental pollutants. Sediment toxicity tests have been suggested as critical …

Micropollutants, as a serious water pollution issue, raise considerable toxicological
concerns, particularly when present as components of complex mixtures. Due to the …

The zebrafish as a test organism enables the investigation of effects on a wide range of
biological levels from molecular level to the whole-organism level. The use of fish embryos …

The water-soluble polymers (WSPs) are widely used in many industrial applications and are
present in several commonly used products due to their physical-chemical characteristics …

Water-soluble polymers (WSPs) are a particular category of polymers that, due to their
capability to be soluble in water, come out of the classic definition of plastic and therefore …

An enhanced, multiple lines of evidence approach was applied to assess potential
toxicological effects associated with polluted sediments. Two in vitro bioassays (H4IIE-luc …

Million tons of tires become waste every year, and the so-called End-of-Life Tires (ELTs) are
ground into powder (ELT-dp; size< 0.8 mm) and granules (ELT-dg; 0.8< size< 2.5 mm) for …

Background Zebrafish have been increasingly used for monitoring and assessing the effects
of different contaminants in the aquatic environments. In the present study, zebrafish …

Background The fish embryo acute toxicity (FET) test with the zebrafish (Danio rerio) was
developed to assess the acute fish toxicity of chemicals or environmental samples as a …
