The influence of climate change related factors on the response of two clam spe...
Costa, Silvana; Coppola, Francesca; Pretti, Carlo; Intorre, Luigi; Meucci, Valentina; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Freitas, Rosa; Solé, MontserratDiclofenac (DIC) is one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) with higher consumption rates, used in both human and veterinary medicine. Previous studies already demonstrated the presence of this drug in aquatic environments and adverse effects towards inhabiting organisms. However, with the predictions of ocean acidification and warming, the impacts induced by DIC may differ from what is present...
Toxic impacts induced by Sodium lauryl sulfate in Mytilus galloprovincialis
Freitas, Rosa; Silvestro, Serena; Coppola, Francesca; Costa, Silvana; Meucci, Valentina; Battaglia, Federica; Intorre, Luigi; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are continuously dispersed into the environment, as a result of human and veterinary use, reaching aquatic coastal systems and inhabiting organisms. However, information regarding to toxic effects of these compounds towards marine invertebrates is still scarce, especially in what regards to metabolic capacity and oxidative status alterations induced in bivalves...
Combined effects of salinity changes and salicylic acid exposure in Mytilus gal...
Freitas, Rosa; Silvestro, Serena; Coppola, Francesca; Meucci, Valentina; Battaglia, Federica; Intorre, Luigi; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Pretti, CarloPharmaceuticals and Personal care products (PPCPs) are frequently released into several marine matrices, representing significant environmental and ecotoxicological risks. Among the widest spread PPCPs in aquatic systems is Salicylic acid (SA), with known negative effects on marine and freshwater species. Nevertheless, the toxicity resulting from these emerging pollutants, including SA, together with climate ch...
The influence of temperature on the effects induced by Triclosan and Diclofenac...
Freitas, Rosa; Coppola, Francesca; Costa, Silvana; Pretti, Carlo; Intorre, Luigi; Meucci, Valentina; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Solé, MontserratLittle is known about the consequences of exposure to pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in elevated temperatures associated with climate change. To increase the knowledge on this topic, Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels were exposed to 1.0 µg/L of either the antimicrobial Triclosan (TCS) or the pharmaceutical drug Diclofenac (DIC), at control (17ºC) and 4ºC raised (21ºC) temperatures for 28 day...
Does salinity modulates the response of Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to tr...
Freitas, Rosa; Coppola, Francesca; Costa, Silvana; Manzini, Chiara; Intorre, Luigi; Meucci, Valentina; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Pretti, CarloIn the present study Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels were exposed for 28 days to three salinities: 30 (control), 25 and 35. Simultaneously, organisms at each salinity were exposed to either the antimicrobial agent Triclosan (TCS) or the pharmaceutical drug Diclofenac (DIC) at 1 μg/L. Salinity alone and exposure to PPCPs changed mussel's metabolic capacity and oxidative status, but no additive or synergetic ef...
Biochemical and physiological responses induced in Mytilus galloprovincialis af...
Freitas, Rosa; Silvestro, Serena; Coppola, Francesca; Meucci, Valentina; Battaglia, Federica; Intorre, Luigi; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Pretti, CarloA vast variety of substances currently reaches the aquatic environment, including newly developed chemicals and products. Lack of appropriate analytical methods for trace determinations in aquatic ecosystem compartments and lack of information regarding their toxicity explains existing regulation gaps. However, suspicion of their toxicity assigned them as Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs). Among CECs are ...
