The OXI and MBR treatments substantially reduced most measured CECs compared to the primary effluent (PRI). Only pesticides and some pharmaceuticals were recalcitrant to both secondary treatment methods.

Baseline toxicity is essentially a nonspecific response that results from chemicals accumulating in and disturbing the function of biological membranes that leads to lethality and sublethal effects at relatively high doses. The commonality of this acute ELS toxicity syndrome among highly diverse organic and inorganic chemicals is remarkable. It is important to identify baseline toxicity because it is considered minimal toxicity that acts in all tissues and cells, and it has the potential to impair all cellular functions. This means if an effect is observed around baseline-toxic concentrations, it is likely that other cellular functions are also affected (i.e., the effect is not specific).

The potential risks of flufenacet to the aquatic ecosystem remain unclear. In this study, the acute toxicity and developmental toxic effects of flufenacet on zebrafish (Danio rerio) were assessed at three different life stages: embryo, larvae, and adult. Larvae at 3 days post-hatch and adult zebrafish exhibited higher sensitivity to the flufenacet compared to embryos. The 96-hour lethal concentration 50 (LC50) values ranked as embryos (9.79 ± 1.22 mg/L) > adults (4.36 ± 0.56 mg/L) and larvae (3.89 ± 0.98 mg/L), highlighting larvae as the most sensitive life stage. Flufenacet exhibited moderate acute toxicity to adult zebrafish. Flufenacet exposure induced various developmental abnormalities in zebrafish, including increased mortality, delayed hatching, reduced voluntary movement, inhibited hatching rate, shortened body length, bent spine, and edema in the pericardial and yolk sac regions. Additionally, the expression levels of ache, mbp, gap43, and syn2a were dose-dependently down-regulated following exposure to various concentrations of flufenacet, indicating neurotoxic effects in zebrafish embryos. Specifically, the expression of gata4 and nkx2.5 was significantly down-regulated only in the 5 mg/L of flufenacet treatment group, while tbx5 and myh6 expression showed a dose-dependent significant down-regulation. myl7 expression was significantly up-regulated in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that flufenacet may induce zebrafish cardiac dysplasia through modulation of cardiac-related genes (nkx2.5, tbx5, gata4, myl7, and myh6). Expression of HPT-axis-related genes (crh, tshβ, tra, trb, and dio2) was significantly down-regulated in a dose-dependent manner, indicating potential endocrine disruption of the thyroid gland in zebrafish embryos.

Widely incorporated into everyday products, glitter not only poses a significant environmental risk due to its ease of dispersion but also holds cultural importance in regions like Brazil, where it is extensively used in festivities. Understanding glitter as a type of microplastic can offer valuable insights into the effects of MPs on aquatic ecosystems, particularly concerning freshwater macroinvertebrates. Given the ecological significance of this issue, our study investigated the ingestion and potential bioaccumulation of MPs by macroinvertebrates in the phytotelmata of Aechmea blanchetiana bromeliads. Organisms were exposed to a microplastic treatment (0.1 g/L glitter) for seven days, followed by taxonomic identification and analysis of MP distribution across body segments. Statistical tests assessed variations in MP distribution among taxa and body regions. Results revealed significant MP ingestion, with the highest concentrations in Culicidae and Chironomidae, suggesting that their generalist feeding behaviors facilitate MP intake. Observations also pointed to preferential accumulation of MPs in certain body parts, indicating potential bioaccumulation. Additionally, the presence of fragmenting MP particles within these taxa highlights their potential role in enhancing MP bioavailability in aquatic environments. Chironomidae and Culicidae, through ingestion and fragmentation, may increase MP dispersal across trophic levels, which could exacerbate bioaccumulation risks within the food web. This evidence supports the use of Chironomidae and Culicidae as effective biomonitors for MPs and calls attention to the ecological implications of glitter pollution in tropical freshwater ecosystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":11793,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143963079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One example of an organic alternative is a beet-juice and salt brine mixture which contains degraded beet sugar and chloride salts. There is limited research on the effects of these products on aquatic organisms, including zooplankton, which are critical components of freshwater food webs. To address this knowledge gap, we compared the acute toxicities of a beet-brine product (Fusion 2330™) with potassium chloride (KCl, >99% pure) and sodium chloride (NaCl, >99% pure), which are components of beet juice brine, to a single iso-female line of Daphnia pulicaria using 48-hour LC50 toxicity tests.

Considering toxicity related to K+, we determined 48-hour LC50 values of 276.7 mg K+/L and 10.3 mg K+/L for KCl and beet-juice brine, respectively. We also found that dissolved oxygen concentration decreased with increasing concentration of the beet-juice brine product, which may contribute to the negative impact of beet-juice brine application.
