Ecotoxicological impacts of metals in single and co-exposure on mussels: compar...
Morais, Tiago; Moleiro, Pedro; Leite, Carla; Coppola, Francesca; Pinto, João; Henriques, Bruno; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Pereira, Eduarda; Freitas, RosaUsed in high-tech and everyday products, mercury (Hg), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni) are known to be persistent and potentially toxic elements that pose a serious threat to the most vulnerable ecosystems. Despite being on the Priority Hazardous Substances List, existing studies have only assessed the individual toxicity of Co, Ni and Hg in aquatic organisms, with a focus on the latter, ignoring potential synergi...
The effect of ocean warming on accumulation and cellular responsiveness to coba...
Moleiro, Pedro; Morais, Tiago; Leite, Carla; Coppola, Francesca; Henriques, Bruno; Pinto, João; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Pereira, Eduarda; Freitas, RosaCobalt (Co) is among the hazardous substances identified in aquatic environments. Industrialization and population growth have also contributed to climate change, namely in what concerns ocean temperature rise. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of temperature rise on the impacts caused by Co on Mytilus galloprovincialis. To this end, mussels were exposed for 28 days to 17 °C and 21 °C, ...
Toxicological effects of the rare earth element neodymium in Mytilus galloprovi...
Freitas, Rosa; Costa, Silvana; Cardoso, Celso E. D.; Morais, Tiago; Moleiro, Pedro; Matias, Ana C.; Pereira, Ana F.; Machado, Joana; Correia, BeatrizThe wide range of applications of rare earth elements (REE) is leading to their occurrence in worldwide aquatic environments. Among the most popular REE is Neodymium (Nd), being widely used in permanent magnets, lasers, and glass additives. Neodymium–iron–boron (NdFeB) magnets is the main application of Nd since they are used in electric motors, hard disk drives, speakers and generators for wind turbines. Recen...
New insights on the impacts of e-waste towards marine bivalves: the case of the...
Freitas, Rosa; Cardoso, Celso; Costa, Silvana; Morais, Tiago; Moleiro, Pedro; Lima, André F. D.; Soares, Márcio; Figueiredo, Samuel; Águeda, Tiago L.With the technological advances and economic development, the multiplicity and wide variety of applications of electrical and electronic equipment have increased, as well as the amount of end-of-life products (waste of electrical and electronic equipment, WEEE). Accompanying their increasing application, there is an increasing risk to aquatic ecosystems and inhabiting organisms. Among the most common elements p...
