The consumption of psychoactive pharmaceuticals has increased worldwide, and
wastewater treatment plants are not able to eliminate them from the effluent. An extensive …

Plastic debris accumulates in the marine environment, fragmenting into microplastics (MP),
causing concern about their potential toxic effects when ingested by marine organisms. The …

Abstract Background The Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) test with the zebrafish (Danio
rerio) embryo, the OECD test guideline (TG) 236, has been designed as an alternative for …

Behaviour is increasingly recognized as a sensitive screening tool to detect the effects of
environmental disturbances on biota, resulting from molecular, biochemical, and …

The aim of this study was to detect ecotoxicological effects of 0.1 μm polystyrene microbeads
in marine organisms belonging to different trophic levels. MP build up, lethal and sub-lethal …

Most previous researches focused on the toxicity of polystyrene microplastics (MPs) to
marine organisms, but less on polyethylene MPs and freshwater zooplanktons. The present …

Growing evidences revealed the deleterious impacts of microplastics (MPs) on marine
organisms. However, the effects of MPs on the movement behavior of marine crustacean is …

For the first time, we report a correspondence between microplastics (MP) ingestion and
ecotoxicological effects in gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidarian jellyfish). The ephyra stage of …

The monitoring of plastic pollution through marine biota is a difficult task, which is receiving
increasing attention nowadays. A selection of appropriate bioindicator species for plastic …

Despite mounting evidence of pleiotropic ecological risks, the understanding of the eco-
neurotoxic impact of most industrially relevant chemicals is still very limited. In particularly …
