The effects of co-exposure of graphene oxide and copper under different pH cond...
Britto, Roberta Socoowski; Nascimento, Jefferson Patrício; Serode, Tiago; Santos, Adelina P.; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M; Figueira, EtelvinaCarbon nanomaterials (CNM), such as graphene oxide (GO), have been the focus of study in several areas of science mostly due to their physical-chemical properties. However, data concerning the potential toxic effects of these CNM in bivalves are still scarce. When present in the aquatic systems, the combination with other contaminants, as well as pH environmental variations, can influence the behavior of these ...
Biochemical and histopathological impacts of rutile and anatase (TiO2 forms) in...
Leite, Carla; Coppola, Francesca; Monteiro, Rui; Russo, Tania; Polese, Gianluca; Lourenço, Mirtha A. O.; Ferreira, Paula; Soares, Amadeu M. V. MTitanium dioxide (TiO2) particles have been widely used in various industrial applications and consumer products. Due to their large production and use, they will eventually enter into aquatic environments. Once in the aquatic environment TiO2 particles may interact with the organisms and induce toxic effects. Since the most common crystallographic forms of TiO2 are rutile and anatase, the present study evaluat...
Biochemical responses and accumulation patterns of Mytilus galloprovincialis ex...
Coppola, Francesca; Almeida, Ângela; Henriques, Bruno; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M; Figueira, Etelvina; Pereira, Eduarda; Freitas, RosaOrganisms in marine systems are exposed to multiple stressors that create a range of associated environmental and ecotoxicological risks. Examples of stressors include alterations related to climate change, such as temperature increase, and the exposure to pollutants arising from human activities. The present study evaluated the impacts of Arsenic exposure (1 mg/L) and warming (21 °C) in Mytilus galloprovincial...
Influence of temperature rise on the recovery capacity of Mytilus galloprovincia...
Coppola, Francesca; Henriques, Bruno; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M; Figueira, Etelvina; Pereira, Eduarda; Freitas, RosaSeveral studies have described the impacts caused by metals on estuarine species, including mussels, but scarce information is available regarding their effects in a global warming context. Moreover, increased temperatures can not only affect the response oforganisms but their capacity to recover from pollution events. In this way, the present study aimed to understand the impact of temperature rise on the capaci...
