However, multiphasic nonlinear responses are poorly understood, and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we subjected the indicator plant Tillandsia usneoides to 5 or 10 time gradients of 1 mM Pb and assessed the response patterns of five damage markers and eight resistance markers in the leaves. The results showed that in the assay with five time gradients, 10 out of 13 biomarkers showed biphasic responses and two biomarkers showed multiphasic responses. In the assay with 10 time gradients, six biomarkers showed biphasic responses and five biomarkers showed multiphasic responses. The results confirmed that increasing the number of dose gradients facilitates the detection of multiphasic dose responses. Additionally, the occurrence of nonlinear responses was found to be a common phenomenon. Further analysis of the frequency of trade-offs showed that the occurrence frequency of trade-off 2 (toxicants do not affect one marker but stimulate other markers) was always higher than that of trade-off 1 (toxicants worsen one marker while stimulating other markers) for both damage and resistance markers, and that trade-off 2 was more likely to appear in resistance markers. This suggests that as the duration of stress increases, the body produces more resistance substances, which coordinate with one another to maintain internal balance.

Image analysis was used to track mycelium growth response to various salinities, nutrient amendments, and oil types. Subsequent evaluation of alterations within the saturate, aromatic, resin, and asphaltene (SARA) fractions constituting Louisiana sweet crude (LSC) was conducted via SARA analysis. Results indicate that P. ostreatus mycelium tolerates estuarine salinities, with maximum growth between 5 and 15‰. Relative to 0‰, growth was reduced at salinities >25‰, but positive growth was still observed. Nutrient amendments significantly increased growth over 7 days relative to untreated samples (p < 0.0001). The combination of ammonium chloride and potassium phosphate yielded optimal mycelium growth after 7 days. Mycelium and nutrients significantly altered saturate (p = 0.0015) and asphaltene (p = 0.0124) fractions in LSC. This study suggests that mycelium growth is viable under estuarine salinities and can be enhanced with nutrient amendments. Introducing nutrient factors was shown to influence oil degradation.

As predicted, HCB, which is semi-volatile and has high long-range transport potential, showed high prevalence in birds wintering in all regions except the Mediterranean. Mirex showed the highest prevalence in birds wintering off the coasts of Argentina and southern Africa, in accordance with high background levels previously documented in the Southern Ocean. Chlordanes were particularly prevalent in skuas wintering off southern Africa, whereas p,p'-DDE seemed relatively evenly distributed among wintering areas.

Degradation was assessed using three indices indicative of polymer degradation: Carbonyl Index (CI), Carbon-to-Oxygen Index (COI), and Hydroxyl Index (HI). This study assessed the effects that mechanical abrasion (MA), photo-oxidation, and various simulated environmental conditions: aqueous (Aq), aqueous + ultraviolet (UV), and UV only within two distinct settings (lab vs outdoor) have on PET microplastic degradation. Photo-oxidation exposure across a 60-d period induced significant degradation on PET microplastics resulting in a 1-22% increase in carbonyl groups across all treatments except UV and Aq. + UV Chamber (MA). A 6-214% increase in hydroxyl groups across all treatments. A 1-10% decrease in carbon-to-oxygen groups in all treatments except the Chamber Aqueous and Outdoor UV (MA). Mechanical abrasion seemed to accelerate this degradation in combination with both UV and aqueous treatments. Using simulated environmental conditions to induce degradation upon PET microplastics, in both lab and simulated environmentally relevant settings, revealed that the combined effects of hydrolysis and photo-oxidation can accelerate the process, especially in conjunction with mechanical abrasion.

This study provides analyses of the percent effect that is expected to occur at the NOEC, LOEC, and maximum acceptable toxicant concentration (MATC) based on available chronic data but does not debate the merits of point estimates versus hypothesis-based test results. We also developed adjustment factors that can be applied to NOECs, LOECs, MATCs, EC20, and EC10 values to equate them to EC5 values, which generally represent an effect level that is within the variability of control responses (e.g., NOEC/Adjustment Factor = Approximate EC5).

Two treatments were used, with the low treatment targeting environmentally relevant concentrations. The concentrations of PFAS remained relatively unchanged during the exposures and statistically significant rates of uptake were estimated for most individual PFAS. For the 0.01 mg/kg treatment (target concentration of each PFAS), steady state was reached for all PFAS except PFHpS, PFHxS, PFOS, PFTeDA, and PFTrDA. For the 0.01 mg/kg treatment, bioaccumulation factors (BAF; kg/kg-dry wt.) ranged from 4 to 49 for most PFAS, but were higher for PFHxS (72), PFTeDA (271), and PFUnA (299). Organic-carbon-normalized BAFs were within the range of published values. The BAF values increased with increasing length of the alkyl chain for perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs), but not for perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs). Uptake rates and BAFs were lower for the 1 mg/kg treatment, typically by over one order of magnitude, likely because of sublethal physiological impairment. Fast and steep decreases in tissue concentrations of PFAS occurred when earthworms were transferred to clean soil, even for long chain PFAS, overall agreeing with previous reports. However, measured elimination rates were faster than predicted from the uptake experiments and the causes remain unknown.
