Environmental risk assessment of triclosan and ibuprofen in marine sediments using individual and sub-individual endpoints
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018)
The guidelines for the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP) recommend the use of standard ecotoxicity assays and the assessment of endpoints at the individual level to ...
The effects of ocean acidification and a carbon dioxide capture and storage leak on the early life stages of the marine mussel Perna perna (Linneaus, 1758) and metal bioavailability
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017)
The study assesses the effects of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) leaks and ocean acidification (OA) on the metal bioavailability and reproduction of the mytilid Perna perna. In laboratory-scale experiments, CCS ...
Biological effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of the pharmaceutical Triclosan in the marine mussel Perna perna (Linnaeus, 1758)
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-09-01)
Triclosan (5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol) is an antibacterial compound widely employed in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Although this emerging compound has been detected in aquatic environments, ...
A Critical Comparison of Different Approaches to Sediment-Quality Assessments in the Santos Estuarine System in Brazil
(Springer, 2015-01-01)
This study focuses on the discussion of different lines of evidence (LoEs) applied to a sediment-quality assessment that considered the following: chemical concentrations of metals; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ...
Occurrence of pharmaceuticals and cocaine in a Brazilian coastal zone
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
The present study determined environmental concentrations of pharmaceuticals, cocaine, and the main human metabolite of cocaine in seawater sampled from a subtropical coastal zone (Santos, Brazil). The Santos Bay is located ...
Assessment of the environmental impacts of ocean acidification (OA) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) leaks using the amphipod Hyale youngi
(Springer, 2017)
This study aims to ascertain the effects of CO2 induced water acidification and leaks from Carbon Capture and Storage activities on the South American amphipod Hyale youngi. A 10-day acute toxicity test was performed using ...
What is the best endpoint for assessing environmental risk associated with acidification caused by CO2 enrichment using mussels?
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)
Carbon capture and storage is a technology that has been widely determined to be one of the best choices for the short-term reduction of atmospheric CO2 emissions. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of CO2 ...
Safflower oil: an integrated assessment of phytochemistry, antiulcerogenic activity, and rodent and environmental toxicity
(Sociedade Brasileira de Farmacognosia, 2014-10-01)
Gastric ulcers are a significant medical problem and the development of complications lead to significant mortality rates worldwide. In Brazil, Carthamus tinctorius L., Asteraceae, seeds essential oil, the safflower oil, ...
Assessing the influence of ocean acidification to marine amphipods: A comparative study
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017)
CO2 increases in the ocean may occur both by the capacity of CO2 exchanges with its dissolved form between atmosphere and surface seawater as well by CO2 leaks during the carbon capture and storage (CCS) process. The ...
Comparative evaluation of sea-urchin larval stage sensitivity to ocean acidification
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017)
Changes in the marine carbonate system may affect various calcifying organisms. This study is aimed to compare the sensitivity of embryo-larval development of two species of sea urchins (Paracentrutos lividus and Lytechinus ...
