However, many are experiencing severe human impacts due to their proximity to urbanization. The main objectives of this study were to determine the concentrations of major and trace elements in lake Edku sediments, and to assess their ecological risk impacts based on Contamination Degree (Cd), Pollution Load Index (PLI), and Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI). During March 2022, six sampling stations (S1 through S6) were established across the lake, and a total of 14 elements were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Our analyses indicate that sediment collected from sampling stations near to sources of wastewater runoff is the most polluted. For example, S1, which is located near to wastewater discharge, had the highest concentration of Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb (90.9, 23.1, 58.7, 55.2, 81.4, 0.5, and 12.8 µg/g, respectively). Evaluating the sediment PERI revealed that sampling stations S1, S2, and S4 had moderate ecological risk (150 < average PERI < 300), indicating there is a negative environmental impact on the living organisms and water quality of lake Edku. Because lake Edku is important for biodiversity conservation, continuous monitoring of metal contamination should be a top priority, as well as improving the efficiency of wastewater treatment facilities to ensure removal of metals before discharging to coastal ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 6","pages":"84"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085624","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}

This gap in knowledge hinders the development of effective strategies for managing soil pollution and protecting agricultural productivity in areas exposed to wastewater irrigation. Therefore, current pot study was conducted on two castor bean genotypes (NIAB-2020 and DS-30) on Pb contaminated soils of Chakera in glasshouse for a period of 120 days. Results showed that physiological indicators decreased under stressed conditions in NIAB-2020 and DS-30, suggesting impaired plant development. Electrolyte leakage (EL) increased in stressed plants indicating damage to cell membrane due to oxidative damage. Biochemically, the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) decreased whereas catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) showed an increase in both castor bean genotypes to mitigate oxidative stress. In similar pattern, both genotypes exhibited a reduction in total soluble proteins (TSP) and total free amino acids (TFA), while conversely total soluble sugars (TSS) and total phenolic contents (TPC) increased under stress conditions. Significant correlation was observed between various physiological, biochemical, and antioxidant enzyme responses, indicating their role as stressed biomarkers on Pb contaminated soils. Overall, NIAB-2020 outperformed DS-30 in terms of physiological and biochemical adaptations, evidencing superior adaptive approach. However, future field trials are compulsory to validate the findings of the study.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 5","pages":"79"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075013","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}

Quantitative source identification displayed atmospheric deposition contributed 66.82%, 66.32% and 63.00% to grains, leaves and shells, respectively, while sewage irrigation accounted for 67.74%, 58.61% and 57.56% in roots, stems and soils. Lighter Pb isotopes from atmospheric deposition were more readily absorbed by leaves and enriched in grains, whereas roots and stems retained heavier isotopes from sewage irrigation, effectively blocking their migration to grains and reducing health risks.

However, the mechanism of its influence remains unclear, particularly regarding its impact on grassland soil. The study was conducted in the periphery of eutrophic Hulun Lake using a gradient amendment experiment (0%, 3%, 5%, 10% cyanobacterial biomass) on adjacent degraded grassland soils. This design aimed to assess the effects of cyanobacterial inputs on soil physicochemical parameters and microbial community restructuring. Quantitative analyses revealed significant nutrient enrichment, with available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), and nitrogen pools demonstrating differential responses. Nitrogen species exhibited the most pronounced enrichment: total nitrogen (TN) increased by 26.21%, ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) by 41.99%, and nitrate nitrogen (NO₃⁻-N) by 54.96% relative to controls. Concurrently, stoichiometric ratios displayed dose-dependent modulation: the total organic carbon to total nitrogen (TOC/TN) ratio decreased by 3.85% under 5% biomass treatment, whereas TOC/AP and TN/AP ratios increased by 13.23% and 18.03%, respectively, indicating altered carbon-phosphorus-nutrient coupling dynamics. Additionally, cyanobacteria enhanced the alpha diversity of the soil bacterial community without altering its overall structure or composition. The decomposition and nutrient release process of cyanobacteria in the soil mainly occurs in the first 30 days, which can improve the soil nutrient content and enhance bacterial community diversity. The application of cyanobacteria for the remediation of degraded grasslands represents a valuable approach that effectively utilizes cyanobacterial resources.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 5","pages":"75"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144053787","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}

The severity of hypoxia in aquatic ecosystems is growing due to anthropogenic impacts. This is a concern with the recent evidence that metals can affect the ability of fishes to mount the HVR. As Rare Earth Elements (REEs), such as neodymium (Nd) increase in demand with the shift to a low-carbon, green economy, there is a critical need to understand their environmental consequences. Here, we investigate whether exposure to Nd will blunt the HVR in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas). Fathead minnows were exposed to 93 ± 7.9 µg/L Nd for 48-h and subjected to 40% dissolved oxygen for 1-h. The number of opercular movements were counted as a proxy of the HVR, and total Nd accumulation at the gill was characterized. Nd caused a 31% decrease in opercular breaths, and Nd accumulation in the gills was below the detection limit (LOD: 0.07 µg/L). This data demonstrates that exposure to Nd shows an effect on a fathead minnows' ability to regulate oxygen, seen through the blunt in the HVR, potentially influencing their survivability.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 5","pages":"76"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143962707","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}

Herein, using comprehensive analysis of metagenomics, metabolomics, behavioral analysis, and cell morphology to investigate the causal relationship between GM and host responses to cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) toxicities. Results indicate that Pb and Cd pollution, alone or together, hinder spider predatory behavior and change the composition and function of GM. Combined exposure reduces protein and exogenous compound metabolism, while single exposure affects energy and lipid metabolism. Gut microbiota helps spider antioxidant activity by increasing glutathione, lipoic acid, and L-cysteine. Oxidative damage, increased Enterobacteriaceae (Salmonella), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) may harm the midgut barrier. Upregulation of choline and acetylcholine, and downregulation of spermidine, may initiate neurotoxicity. Inhibiting actinomycetes might boost sodium gallate for detoxifying single contaminants. Combined pollution detoxification may involve downregulation of indole synthesis metabolic bacteria, tryptophan, indole metabolites, cytochrome P450 (CYP450), and an increase in Desulfobulbia could remove heavy metals and reduce oxidative stress. Combined pollution has a synergistic effect, making the toxicity of multiple pollutants greater than their individual effects, impacting metal resistance genes (MRGs), and antibiotic resistance ontology (AROs) which used for classifying and describing antibiotic resistance, midgut barrier integrity, oxidative stress, and detoxification. The results help to elucidate the interplay of GM and host's reactions, and aid in monitoring and bioremediation of heavy metal pollution.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 5","pages":"77"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143957714","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}
