Exploring BPA alternatives – Environmental levels and toxicity review

Environment International, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 189, С. 108728 - 108728

Опубликована: Май 23, 2024

Bisphenol A alternatives are manufactured as potentially less harmful substitutes of bisphenol (BPA) that offer similar functionality. These already in the market, entering environment and thus raising ecological concerns. However, it can be expected levels BPA will dominate future, they limited information on their environmental safety. The EU PARC project highlights priority chemicals consolidates alternatives, with a focus relevance identification research gaps. review highlighted aspects future perspectives. In brief, an extension monitoring is crucial, extending to cover track facilitate timely implementation mitigation measures. biological activity has been studied for but non-systematic way prioritized number chemicals. For several data provided substantial evidence regarding potential harm environment. We stress importance conducting more comprehensive assessments go beyond traditional reproductive studies overlooked relevant endpoints. Future should also consider mixture effects, realistic concentrations, long-term consequences biota ecosystems.

Updated overview of QuEChERS applications in food, environmental and biological analysis (2020–2023)

TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 169, С. 117375 - 117375

Опубликована: Окт. 12, 2023

The primary challenge faced by researchers in multiresidue analysis is the development of efficient, environmentally friendly, and reliable methods to ensure quality, safety, traceability. QuEChERS method has demonstrated remarkable versatility achieving excellent results various matrices analytes. This approach offers flexibility selecting different solvents, salts, buffers for salting-out partitioning, as well employing varied sorbents clean-up process. emerged a greener alternative traditional sample preparation methods, aligning with emphasis on sustainability analytical chemistry. review article aims present an overview significant applications period 2020–2023, focusing its utilisation environmental, food feed, biological analysis. It also provides insights into groups compounds which this been successfully applied discusses key trends evolution protocol.

Are microplastics contributing to pollution-induced neurotoxicity? A pilot study with wild fish in a real scenario

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 9(1), С. e13070 - e13070

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

Pollution-induced neurotoxicity is of high concern. This pilot study investigated the potential relationship between presence microplastics (MPs) in brain 180 wild fish (Dicentrarchus labrax, Platichthys flesus, Mugil cephalus) from a contaminated estuary and activity acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. MPs were found 9 samples (5% total), all them D. labrax collected summer, which represents 45% this species that season (20). Seventeen recovered samples, with sizes ranging 8 to 96 μm. Polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid one biopolymer (zein) identified by Micro-Raman spectroscopy. Fish showed lower (p ≤ 0.05) AChE than those where not found. These findings point contribution induced long-term exposure pollution, stressing need further studies on topic increase 'One Health' protection.

Microplastics in marine mussels, biological effects and human risk of intake: A case study in a multi-stressor environment

Marine Pollution Bulletin, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 197, С. 115704 - 115704

Опубликована: Ноя. 8, 2023

This study documented seasonal levels of microplastics (MPs) and biomarkers (condition index, neurotoxicity, energy, oxidative stress) in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis), water physico-chemical parameters the Douro estuary (NE Atlantic coast), estimated human risk MP intake (HRI) through mussels. Mussel stress was determined Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR). HRI from mussel concentrations consumer habits. MPs were mainly micro-fibres (72 %) with varied chemical composition. Seasonal means (±SEM) ranged 0.111 ± 0.044 (spring) to 0.312 0.092 MPs/g (summer). variations (IBR: 1.4 spring 9.7 summer) not related. MeO-BDEs, PBDEs, temperature, salinity other factors likely contributed variation. 2438 2650 MPs/year. Compared literature, contamination is low, as well their consumption.

Pesticide residues in European sediments: A significant concern for the aquatic systems?

Environmental Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 261, С. 119754 - 119754

Опубликована: Авг. 10, 2024

The presence of pesticide residues in waterbed sediments poses a significant concern for aquatic ecosystems' health. This study examined contamination 38 water bodies, embedded agricultural-dominated regions, across eight European countries. Three indicators were targeted: occurrence, type, and concentrations multiple sediments. 196 (including degradation products) tested the sediment samples. analytical results showed that only one sample was 'pesticide-free', three samples contained single residue, remaining 34 mixtures residues. Overall, 99 different found sediments, with maximum 48 sample. Twenty-seven out detected not approved agricultural use at time sampling. numbers levels varied among AMPA, glyphosate DDTs most common frequencies 76, 61, 52%, respectively. from Czech Republic had highest concentrations, total ranging between 600 1200 μg kg
