One such pesticide class, pyrethroids, has replaced the use of several banned pesticides due to its low mammalian toxicity. The impacts of increased temperatures on the toxicity of a pyrethroid, permethrin, to fish is not yet known. In the current study, juvenile inland silversides (<i>Menidia beryllina</i>) were exposed to permethrin at three temperatures: 10 °C, 20 °C, and 30 °C. Inland silversides were chosen for this study because they are a species used in standardized USEPA whole effluent toxicity testing. Permethrin toxicity showed an inverse relationship with temperature. As temperatures fluctuate, fishes experience a change in respiration, biotransformation, and elimination rates, which can drive the noted difference in toxicity. Based on these findings, toxicity can be temperature-dependent and should be considered when assessing risk of exposure to pesticides in aquatic systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8377,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"88 2","pages":"151 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142999199","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 area prone to pollution is the Baltic Sea, partly due to the lack of water exchange with the North Sea. In this study, a sediment core from the German Baltic Sea was used to analyze a total of 42 elemental mass fractions. Based on radiometric dating of ²¹⁰Pb and ¹³⁷Cs, results were classified in a recent (2020–2000) and a past period (&lt; 1920), calculating background concentrations based on the Median + 2 Median Absolute Deviation (M2MAD) and the Tukey Inner Fence (TIF). Six legacy pollutants (Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb) and six TCEs (Ga, Ge, Nb, La, Gd, Ta) are discussed in detail. Anthropogenic impacts of both groups were assessed, and local enrichment factors were calculated showing an increase for the legacy pollutants (past period (≤ 0.8); recent period (≥ 1.2)), but also a minor increase for Ga, Ge and Nb (past period (0.9); recent period (1.1)). Values ≥ 1.5, indicating anthropogenic impact, were found for Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb, but also for Ge.

A standardized soil dosing and aging procedure is presented for assessing bioavailability of VHOCs in a synthetic soil, which was used to evaluate the phytotoxicity of VHOCs. The soil preparation protocol resulted in relatively stable freely dissolved concentrations of test substance compared to bulk soil concentrations with some losses likely due to volatility and biodegradation. This dosing method was used in a chronic terrestrial plant toxicity bioassay to evaluate the potential toxicity of VHOCs on complex reproductive endpoints like inflorescence and seed bud formation. Testing included representative hydrocarbons and three very hydrophobic lubricant substances (logKow &gt; 10). The toxicity data were used to evaluate existing predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) that had originally been derived with the target lipid model, which did not have these higher order chronic plant endpoints. The initial exposure concentrations were set at the PNECs to provide an independent validation of the PNEC. This evaluation was performed to expand the domain of applicability of the PNEC to VHOCs and for the chronic terrestrial plant endpoints. No effects were observed on plant biomass or inflorescence production at these low exposure concentrations, demonstrating that the established PNEC is protective of long-term plant health. The results of the present study confirm that the new dosing method is fit for purpose, and that the existing PNEC framework can be extended to chronic plant endpoints for VHOCs.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":8377,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"88 1","pages":"110 - 122"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11783378/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142909239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine the primary sources of petroleum spills and tarballs along the shores of Genaveh (northwest of the Persian Gulf) by employing chemical fingerprinting techniques and biomarkers. Specifically, petroleum hydrocarbons were analyzed in 19 tarball samples, 13 surface sediment samples from the Genaveh coast, and reference oil samples from 21 offshore oil platforms located in the Bahregan, Khark, Lavan, Siri, and Hendurabi regions. Samples were extracted using the Soxhlet extraction method, followed by two-step column chromatography, and the compositions of <i>n</i>-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hopanes, and steranes were determined using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The concentration of PAHs in coastal sediment samples from Genaveh ranged from 345 (S841) to 27,374 ng/g-dw (S852), indicating moderate to very high pollution levels. The total concentration of aliphatic hydrocarbons in coastal sediment samples from Genaveh ranged from 8,694 (S842) to 27,374 µg/g-dw (S851), significantly exceeding <i>n-</i>alkane concentrations reported in surface sediments from many other regions worldwide, suggesting considerable pollution levels. For the 19 collected tarball samples, PAH concentrations varied from 597.5 to 10,173 ng/g-dw, while <i>n</i>-alkane concentrations ranged from 27,136 to 66,341 µg/g-dw, which may indicate differences in age or freshness. Diagnostic indicators, such as undifferentiated complex mixtures (UCM), a carbon preference index (CPI) close to 1 for <i>n-</i>alkanes, diagnostic ratios of PAHs, and ratios of hopanes and steranes, pointed to a predominantly petrogenic origin of hydrocarbons in the coastal sediments of Genaveh. The principal component analysis (PCA) results revealed a distinction between oil samples from the Lavan, Hendurabi, and Siri platforms, indicating oil leakage from the Khark oilfield pipelines (Doroud and Forouzan) and Bahregan oilfields (Bahregansar and Soroosh) as a major pollution source. This implies that both oil spills, observed in the coastal sediments of Genaveh, and episodic spills, represented by tarballs, originate from a similar, homogeneous source. Only sediment samples from stations S841 and S812 were not influenced by tarballs, suggesting pollution from a different source compared to other sediment samples.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":8377,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"88 1","pages":"55 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00244-024-01105-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142827078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the magnetic susceptibility of moss was measured to provide insight into the accumulation of anthropogenic particles. Prior to the analysis, moss samples were washed, and the rinse waters were also analyzed for PTEs. Exploratory spatial analysis and source identification of airborne PTEs were carried out; the results suggest that the main anthropogenic airborne pollutants in the region were Cd and Zn from long-range transport with the mean concentrations of 0.12 mg/kg and 18.2 mg/kg, respectively. Wet deposition was the dominant source for these elements, which were however accumulated by moss in modest amounts. Soil also emerged as an important source for several elements i.e., Al, Fe, Cr and Ni, but its contribution was largely unpredictable, as indicated by the lack of correlation between moss tissue and rinse water concentrations. Further, sample washing of a few seconds was not effective in fully removing soil particles. The sensitivity analysis suggested that the results of the study are reliable and did not depend on the methodology used for data analysis.
