Abstract

The symposium “New Approaches to Assessing the Environmental Impact of Chemicals: Bridging Ecotoxicology and Ecology through Environmental DNA/RNA Monitoring” was held on December 2, 2024 during the 7th annual meeting of The eDNA Society in Tsukuba, Japan. With increasing concerns about biodiversity loss and chemical pollution, the symposium aimed to explore innovative methodologies that assess ecological impacts from both chemical and biodiversity perspectives. Presentations addressed various applications of environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) technologies, including ecological effect assessments of pesticides and metals as well as noninvasive biological stress profiling. This report summarizes the key discussions and insights from the symposium, highlighting the potential of eDNA and eRNA in integrating ecotoxicology with ecological assessments to achieve “Nature Positive” outcomes.

研讨会报告：评估化学品对环境影响的新方法——通过环境DNA/RNA监测连接生态毒理学和生态学

“评估化学品对环境影响的新方法：通过环境DNA/RNA监测架起生态毒理学和生态学的桥梁”研讨会于2024年12月2日在日本筑波举行的第七届eDNA学会年会上举行。随着人们对生物多样性丧失和化学污染的日益关注，研讨会旨在探索从化学和生物多样性角度评估生态影响的创新方法。介绍了环境DNA （eDNA）和RNA （eRNA）技术的各种应用，包括农药和金属的生态影响评估以及非侵入性生物应激谱。本报告总结了研讨会的主要讨论和见解，强调了eDNA和eRNA在将生态毒理学与生态评估相结合以实现“自然积极”结果方面的潜力。
