Neuro-, geno- and cytotoxicity responses in mussels Anodonta cygnea after six metals mixture treatment
(Corresponding) Butrimavičienė L.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Concerning toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence in the aquatic environment, six metals such as Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd are attributed to priority hazardous substances in many countries throughout the world (Water Framework Directive 2008/105/EC; US EPA 2009). In this study, time-dependent...Read more
Comparative effects of salinomycin and meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) on lead induced impairment of reproductive function in male mice

Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Lead (Pb) directly targets testicular spermatogenesis and also the sperms in the epididymis inducing reproductive toxicity. In our study we compare the effects of meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and tetraethylammonium salt of salinomycinic acid on Pb content and the endogenous levels of...Read more
Ultrafine and nanoparticles emissions from hospital waste incineration: characterization and chemical speciation.
(Corresponding) Cernuschi S., Lonati G., Ozgen S., Signorini S.
Topic:
Air pollution
Focus on atmospheric particulate matter has recently steadily shifted towards finer size fractions, namely those particles with dimensions included from 2.5 µm down to the minimum practical detection limit of few nm. These fractions share the higher burden of health related effects arising from...Read more
Sources and transfer of Cu, Hg and Pb into marine food webs using innovative tracers (metal stable isotopes, trophic markers): results of a pilot study in a French coastal area
(Corresponding) Chouvelon T., Araujo D., Bouchoucha M., Briant N., Bruzac S., Crochet S., Knoery J., Ponzevera E., Rozuel E., Sireau T., Thomas B., Amouroux D., Bérail S., Brach-Papa C.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Copper (Cu), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) are elements and contaminants of historical and emerging concerns in coastal environments. Although Cu is considered essential for living organisms, it is bioactive in a narrow range of optimal concentrations. Hg and Pb have no known biological role and are...Read more
Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba
Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more
