Assessment of the pH-effect on the toxicity, uptake & biotransformation of Fluoxetine in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos by LC-ESI-QTOFMS

Panagopoulou E., Tzepkinli V., Damalas D., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Schulze P., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Over the recent decades, there is great interest from the scientific community in emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals. Previous studies have demonstrated that they are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems, mainly due to insufficient removal by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In light of...Read more

Investigation of the influence of environmentally relevant pH values in the toxicity of the b-blocker Metoprolol in zebrafish (Danio Rerio) embryos through toxicokinetic approaches (uptake, bioaccumulation, and biotransformation)

Tzepkinli V., Panagopoulou E., Damalas D., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Hebel J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Recently, the release of emerging contaminants into the aquatic ecosystems has become an issue of concern among scientists since some of them are frequently detected in the environment at levels that may cause harm. One of the main categories of emerging contaminants is the human and veterinary...Read more

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The Dnieper River Basin is the main freshwater resource for Ukraine. Despite being used as source for drinking water, its water quality does not always meet the environmental standards. The basin is highly affected by regional and transboundary (from western Russia and Belarus) anthropogenic...Read more

Patterns of drug use and chemical exposure in Athens (Greece) during COVID-19 pandemic using wastewater-based epidemiology

Aleiferi E., Galani A., Kontou A., Gkogkou A., Nika M., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

After the first COVID-19 case in 2019 in Wuhan, China, the virus SARS-COV-2 has rapidly spread nationwide, alarming both the public and scientific community (Cascella et al., 2021). Currently, there are no treatments available for COVID-19, hence reducing the virus transmission and vaccinations...Read more

Toxicity, uptake, and biotransformation assessment of zebrafish embryos exposed to tetracaine, under different pH values, utilizing embryotoxicity and LC-HRMS

Damalas D., Panagopoulou E., Aleiferi E., Tzepkinli V., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Kuttler J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The contamination of the aquatic environment has raised concerns in the scientific community and regulatory authorities, over the last decades. Given the large number of xenobiotics (such as pharmaceuticals), for most of them there is a striking deficit in the literature concerning their adverse...Read more

Decreased Soil Water Content Effects on the Toxicity of Triclosan to Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

(Corresponding) Miskelyte D., Zaltauskaite J.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Due to the rising amounts of antimicrobial agents in the environment and the lack of knowledge on their ecotoxicity, there is growing concern regarding their effects on the environment. One of the most widely used antibacterial compounds in both personal care and pharmaceutical products is...Read more

Growth and biochemical responses of earthworms (Dendrobaena veneta) exposed to tetracycline

(Corresponding) Žaltauskaitė J., Miškelytė D., Sujetovienė G., Dikšaitytė A., Januškaitienė I., Kzacienė G., Dagiliūtė R.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Veterinary antibiotics have received growing attention in recent years as emerging terrestrial contaminants. Livestock, animal manure and slurry land application are the main routes for veterinary antibiotics to enter the soil environment. Widespread use and distribution of tetracyclines poses a...Read more
