In this historical context, the Mediterranean Sea faces an increasing threat from emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, heavy metals, pesticides and microplastics, which pose a serious risk to environment human health. regard, aquatic invertebrates fish are particularly vulnerable toxic effects of these pollutants, several species have been identified bio-indicators for their detection. Among these, bivalve molluscs elasmobranchs now widely used accurately assess contaminants. The study focuses on catshark Scyliorhinus canicular mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. first one is useful indicator localised contamination levels due its exposure that accumulate seabed. Moreover, it has high trophic position plays important role in ecosystem. mollusc galloprovincialis, other hand, being filter-feeding organism, can acquire bioaccumulate foreign particles present environment.

Plastics, long-chain artificial polymers, are used worldwide with a global production of 350 million tonnes per year. Various degradation processes transform plastics into smaller fragments divided micro, meso and macroplastics. In various industries, such as construction, certain plastic additives to improve flexibility enhance performance. Plastic include phthalates (PAE), dibutyl phthalate (DPB) diethyl (DEP). Due the use additives, these small different shapes colours present in all environmental compartments. For their characteristics, PAEs can be introduced particularly by ingestion, inhalation dermal absorption. They accumulate human body, where they have already been identified blood, amniotic fluid urine. The purpose this review is gather effects that on systems body. Being endocrine disruptors, erythrocytes how considered targets for xenobiotics analysed. influence reproductive system was also examined. Phthalates therefore often overused. properties, reach tissues negative impact health. aim give an overview presence hazards. Therefore, should reduced, replaced disposal improved.

Enrofloxacin (ENR) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used due to its efficacy against pathogens. Microplastics (MPs) may bind ENR and reduce efficiency, whereas there would be an increase in toxicity, bioavailability, bio-accumulation rates. Therefore, the hypothesis that interaction between MPs can alter their toxicity bioavailability. The subjective of this study examine various concentrations (0, 1.35, 2.7 ml Kg-1 diet) 1000, 2000 mg alone combination for 21 days. rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) economic aquaculture species as experimental model ecotoxicology studies. Blood biochemical analytes indicated led increasing enzymatic activity each biomarker, except gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT). Alterations related triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, urea, creatinine, total protein, albumin blood contents were observed. An elevation levels superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) was found liver. In contrast, catalase (CAT) glutathione peroxidase (GPx) decreased. Furthermore, decline observed cellular antioxidant (ANT) levels. These findings suggested could affect fish health both independently together. Consequently, determined when present high concentrations, amplified, providing further evidence synergistic impact on toxicity.

Caffeine (Caff) is one of the most widely used substances in human diet and a well-recognized drug. Its input into surface waters remarkable, but biological effects on aquatic organisms are unclear, particularly combination with pollutants suspected modulatory activity, like microplastics (MP). The aim this study was to reveal impact marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamark, 1819) Caff (20.0 μg L-1) environmentally relevant (Mix) MP 1 mg L-1 (size 35-50 μm) after exposure for 14 days. Untreated exposed separately groups were also examined. Cell viability cell volume regulation hemocytes digestive cells, as well indexes oxidative stress, glutathione (GSH/GSSG) metallothioneins levels, caspase-3 activity gland assessed.

This study investigated the toxicity of polyethylene microplastics (MPs; <0.02 mm) and CuSO4, alone in combination, on freshwater crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus. In this study, were exposed to PE-MPs (0.0, 0.5, 1 mg L-1) CuSO4·5H2O for a period 28 days. Next, multi-biomarkers, including biochemical, immunological, oxidative stress indicators analyzed. Results showed that co-exposure CuSO4 resulted increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), decreased alkaline phosphatase (ALP), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT). Triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, albumin content also increased. Although no significant change was observed lysozyme phenoloxidase activities co-exposed 0.5 L-1 MPs their significantly other experimental groups. Oxidative parameters hepatopancreas indicated superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, but catalase (CAT), glucose 6-phosphate (G6PDH), cellular total antioxidant (TAC). sub-chronic confirmed. The confirmed found higher concentrations led more severe effects. Co-exposure primarily compromised endpoints, showing when both pollutants present concentrations.
