Abstract
The present study focused, for the first time, on the adverse effects of nine REEs on the marine copepod Tigriopus fulvus. For this purpose, copepod mortality, immobilization, and naupliar development were assessed. Overall, the results demonstrated that all REEs tested exerted significant adverse effects on T. fulvus, with LC50 values ranging from 0.56 to 1.99 mg/L. Concentration-dependent increases in mortality and immobilization for all tested REEs were observed. Following exposure of nauplii to REEs, a significant slowing of nauplii development was shown with all REEs tested. The results obtained clearly highlight the potential toxicity of REEs, and, in particular, of Lanthanum, which could have consequences on the survival and development of T. fulvus, affecting the copepod population.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Xenobiotics publishes original studies concerning the beneficial (pharmacology) and detrimental effects (toxicology) of xenobiotics in all organisms. A xenobiotic (“stranger to life”) is defined as a chemical that is not usually found at significant concentrations or expected to reside for long periods in organisms. In addition to man-made chemicals, natural products could also be of interest if they have potent biological properties, special medicinal properties or that a given organism is at risk of exposure in the environment. Topics dealing with abiotic- and biotic-based transformations in various media (xenobiochemistry) and environmental toxicology are also of interest. Areas of interests include the identification of key physical and chemical properties of molecules that predict biological effects and persistence in the environment; the molecular mode of action of xenobiotics; biochemical and physiological interactions leading to change in organism health; pathophysiological interactions of natural and synthetic chemicals; development of biochemical indicators including new “-omics” approaches to identify biomarkers of exposure or effects for xenobiotics.
