High NaCl Concentrations in Water Are Associated with Developmental Abnormalities and Altered Gene Expression in Zebrafish

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 25(7), С. 4104 - 4104

Salt is frequently introduced in ecosystems, where it acts as a pollutant. This study examined how changes salinity affect the survival and development of zebrafish from two-cell to blastocyst stage larval stage. Control embryos were cultured E3 medium containing 5 mM Sodium Chloride (NaCl), 0.17 Potassium (KCL), 0.33 Calcium (CaCl2), Magnesium Sulfade (MgSO4). Experiments conducted using increasing concentrations each individual salt at 5×, 10×, 50×, 100× concentration found medium. KCL, CaCl2, MgSO4 did not result lethal abnormalities early embryo growth any tested. Concentrations 50× NaCl caused embryonic death both stages development. 5× 10× resulted uninflated swim bladders 12% 65% larvae, compared 4.2% controls, 1654 2628 genes be differentially expressed blastocysts, respectively.

Freshwater faces a warmer and saltier future from headwaters to coasts: climate risks, saltwater intrusion, and biogeochemical chain reactions

Abstract Alongside global climate change, many freshwater ecosystems are experiencing substantial shifts in the concentrations and compositions of salt ions coming from both land sea. We synthesize a risk framework for anticipating how change increasing pollution saltwater intrusion will trigger chain reactions extending headwaters to tidal waters. Salt ‘chain reactions,’ where chemical products one biogeochemical reaction influence subsequent ecosystem responses.

Sewage composition analysis is important for understanding environmental impact and ensuring effective treatment processes. In this study, we employed multivariate techniques to delve into the intricate of sewage. Specifically, utilized Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Detrended Correspondence (DCA) uncover patterns relationships among different types sewage pollutants. Statistical revealed that stages did not consistently reduce all pollutant concentrations. Mechanical failed lower chlorides sulfates, but was ether extract phenols. Moreover, total mechanical–biological provided a significant, 91% reduction phenols, while only reducing by 13% sulfates 22%. The significant differences between raw mechanically treated Totally stood out as key factor influencing pollutants studied, particularly sulfates. This finding emphasizes critical role comprehensive processes in management. Among analysed substances, showed strongest clustering potential, with an average Silhouette coefficient 0.738, highest observed. Phenols, on other hand, exhibited Within-Cluster Sum Squares (WCSS), suggesting their potential alternative parameter evaluation.

Flexible Permeable-Pavement System Sustainability: A Methodology for Stormwater Management Based on PM Granulometry

Infrastructures, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 9(6), С. 95 - 95

Опубликована: Июнь 11, 2024

Permeable-pavement design methodologies can improve the hydrologic and therefore environmental benefits of rural urban roadway systems. By contrast, conventional impervious pavements perturb cycle, altering relationship between rainfall loading runoff response. Impervious create a hydraulically conductive interface for transport traffic-generated chemicals particulate matter (PM), deleteriously impacting their proximate environments. systems are countermeasures to mitigate hydrologic, chemical, PM impacts. However, permeable not always equally implementable due costs, loadings, constraints. A potential solution facilitate while meeting traffic load capacity is combination two filtration placed at pavement shoulders and/or pedestrian sidewalks: bituminous-pavement open-graded friction course (BPFC) an aggregate-filled infiltration trench. This presented in this manuscript together with methodological framework first results investigations into designing validating such combined system. The research was conducted laboratories Polytechnic University Bari Florida, operational full-scale physical model constructed Bari, Italy. characterize deposition on public roads based granulometry (particle size distributions (PSDs) particle number densities (PNDs)). Samples (n = 16) were collected analyzed eight different sites land uses, traffic, from cities (Bari Taranto, Italy). analysis showed similar (PSDs PNDs), except samples. gravimetric-based PSDs had granulometric sand-size range. In PNDs, modeled by Power Law Model (PLM) (R2 ≥ 0.92), illustrated exponentially increasing particles fine silt clay-size range, representing less than 10% PSD mass. Moreover, indicate that sourced permeable-pavement has differing impacts service life.

Land development and road salt usage drive long-term changes in major-ion chemistry of streamwater in six exurban and suburban watersheds, southeastern Pennsylvania, 1999–2019

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11

In urbanized areas, the “freshwater salinization syndrome” (FSS), which pertains to long-term increases in concentrations of major ions and metals fresh surface waters, has been attributed road salt application. addition FSS, water composition changes as an influx sodium (Na + ) recharge may displace calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg potassium (K trace by reverse cation exchange. These changing ion fluxes can result adverse impacts on groundwater waters used for municipal supplies. Few datasets exist quantify FSS a watershed scale or link its manifestation potential controlling factors such urban development, land use/land cover (LULC), wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharges upstream areas. Here, we use two decades (1999–2019) monthly streamwater quality data combined with daily streamflow six exurban suburban watersheds southeastern Pennsylvania examine relations among Ca , Mg K Na chloride (Cl − sulfate (SO 4 2- alkalinity (HCO 3 factors. Flow-normalized annual baseflow (August ̶ November) Cl increased all over 20-year study, providing evidence FSS’s that sustains streamflow. Additionally, redundancy analysis using 2019 flow-normalized values identified following positive associations between solute variables: 1) impervious (ISC), 2) SO ISC total WWTP discharge volume, 3) HCO agriculture volume.
