In the last century, industrial activities increased and caused multiple health problems for
humans and animals. At this moment, heavy metals are considered the most harmful …

Hormesis is a toxicological phenomenon whereby exposures to low doses of stress result in
biological stimulation. The hormetic dose response is now recognized as a dominant …

Environmental contamination from toxic metals and pesticides is an issue of great concern
due to their harmful effects to human health and the ecosystems. In this framework, we …

Genotoxic and hepatotoxic potentials of Pb at an environmentally relevant concentration (5
ppm) in zebrafish were investigated in the present study. Erythrocytic nuclear abnormality …

The current study aimed to investigate the effects of lead nitrate exposure on the
enzymatical, haematological, and histological changes in the gill, liver, and kidney of …

Early developmental stages of aquatic organisms including fish are inherently vulnerable to
lead (Pb) and other water metal contaminants. However, reports on the deleterious effects of …

Natural aquatic environments have a heterogeneous composition; therefore, simultaneous
exposure to multiple contaminants is relevant and more realistic when assessing exposure …

Fluoride and Pb are both toxic to organisms; however, their combination effects and the
corresponding toxic mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, male and female zebrafish …

Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and cadmium (Cd) are widely co-occurring in natural aquatic
environment; however, no study has been conducted on effects of their combined exposure …

The combined pollution of lead (Pb) and polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) is common in
aquatic environments. However, the combined neurotoxicity of these two pollutants is still …
