A bioassay experiment was performed to determine the 96-hour LC<sub>50</sub> of cadmium chloride (CdCl<sub>2</sub>), a heavy-metal salt. For experimentation, pre-acclimated Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri worms were divided into eleven treatment groups (T<sub>1</sub> through T<sub>11</sub>) and a control group (C), each of 50 number of individuals and were exposed to 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75 and 3.0 mg/L cadmium concentrations respectively for 96 h under semi-static condition in a closed-circuit flow-through system with complete renewal of water with the respective relevant cadmium concentration after 48 h. Post-exposure cadmium content per unit amount of tissue samples and of residual water samples was measured with atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Probit analysis revealed the 96-hour LC<sub>50</sub> value of cadmium against L. hoffmeisteri as 1.002 mg/L. The outcome of this study established a low BCF for the experimental species for cadmium, indicating a positive correlation between BCF and exposure concentration and demonstrating the inherent bioconcentration nature of cadmium in L. hoffmeisteri. A gradual declining trend in cadmium content of the whole body was observed at exposure to a cadmium concentration higher than 2.0 mg/L. Concurrent autotomy of the caudal part of the organism has also been observed at this exposure level. Cadmium content of the autotomized tail has been estimated significantly (P < 0.05) higher.

In this study, Pelophylax nigromaculatus tadpoles were selected for a 21-day exposure experiment to determine the bioaccumulation and metabolic pathways of these two substances. The logarithmic concentrations (Log C) of TBOEP in tadpoles exhibited an increase over time, while those of TPHP demonstrated a slightly declining trend. TPHP displayed higher bioconcentration factors compared to TBOEP. Differences in bioaccumulation may be attributed to biotransformation and species variability.

The study's core objective was to track how the amount of viable microbial biomass (measured via PLFA) and function (measured via enzyme activity) evolve in reclaimed Northern Ontario sites over time, providing insights into the process of ecosystem recovery. Four sites were selected, encompassing both limed areas and adjacent unlimed control areas. Although all sites were monitored concurrently, the applications of limestones occurred at different times. Liming at the freshly treated Kelly Lake site caused a temporary, significant increase in microbial biomass during the first four years of monitoring. This initial surge was absent in samples from older limed areas (Wahnapitae, Hwy 17 bypass, and Sudbury Snow Dump sites) monitored 7-13 years post-treatment, which suggests the effects had plateaued. Despite this short-lived microbial response, the overall positive effects of liming such as improved soil chemistry (e.g., increased pH and increased calcium) and enhanced plant population health seems to persist long after the initial biomass increase, demonstrating lasting ecological benefits. Variations in liming effects on soil biota were linked to differences in treatment duration and site-specific environmental characteristics. Microbial biomass values showed a strong positive correlation with pH (r = 0.76) and a weak positive correlation with organic matter (OM) values (r = 0.35). Amplicon sequencing analysis revealed a significant increase in bacterial community richness, indicated by significantly higher Chao1 values in limed (4450) versus unlimed (3446) soil samples, while fungal communities showed no such changes. Enzyme activities remained stable over time in both unlimed and limed samples, with two key exceptions among the C-cycling enzymes: beta-glucosidase (BG) and cellobiohydrolase (CBH).

The concentration levels of target OUVFs (35.07-44.68 ng/g for BP-3, 40.19-48.88 ng/g for 4-MBC and 31.79-45.29 ng/g for AVO) were quantified in the fish samples from both water bodies. Hazard index (HI) values of target OUVFs for the consumption of fish collected from Dandaru River and Eleyele Lake ranged from 0.058 to 0.669 and 0.056-0.867, respectively. The HI values obtained for all the investigated fish species were below safety thresholds for all age groups, suggesting non-carcinogenic risk was not evident. The findings emphasize the need for sufficient regulation of OUVFs usage in Nigeria and their discharge into the environment to avoid potential health risk to humans.</p>","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"117 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148350212","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}
