Ecotoxicological effects of fluvial eroded bitumen sediments from the Alberta o...
Cardoso, Diogo N.; Gonçalves, Sandra F.; Silva, Ana Rita R.; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Wrona, Frederick J.; Loureiro, SusanaTo fully understand the ecological and cumulative effects of mining activities on the surrounding aquatic systems of the Canadian oil sands region, it is essential to understand the consequences of exposure to bitumen-containing soils/sediment from natural geomorphological processes. Both physical and chemical stress on aquatic biota can potentially result from exposure to natural bitumen, resulting from hillsl...
Combined toxicity of graphite-diamond nanoparticles and thiabendazole to Daphni...
Martín-de-Lucía, Idoia; Gonçalves, Sandra F.; Leganés, Francisco; Fernández-Piñas, Francisca; Rosal, Roberto; Loureiro, SusanaCarbon-based nanomaterials exhibit unique properties that make them suitable for a wide variety of industrial and biomedical applications. In this work, we studied the acute toxicity of graphite-diamond nanoparticles (GDN) combined with the fungicide thiabendazole (TBZ) to the immobilization of the cladoceran Daphnia magna in the presence and absence of the micro green algae Raphidocelis subcapitata, supplied a...
An ecotoxicological analysis of the sediment quality in a European Atlantic har...
Gonçalves, Sandra F.; Calado, Ricardo; Gomes, Newton C. M.; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Loureiro, SusanaThe "PortoNovo" project was developed to standardize the methodologies for water quality management in the port areas of coastal Atlantic regions to improve the Water Frame Directive (WFD) for these specific water bodies. Under this scope, water and sediment samples were collected from five sites within the Port of Aveiro, Portugal. According to the physical and chemical parameters that were analyzed (i.e., met...
