The impact and recovery from exposure to the herbicide diuron [DCMU; 3-(3′, 4′-
dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea] was assessed for three tropical seagrasses, maintained …

The toxicity of the antifouling compounds diuron, irgarol, zinc pyrithione (ZnPT), copper
pyrithione (CuPT) and copper was tested on the three marine microalgae Tisochrysis lutea …

Low concentrations of herbicides (up to 70ngl− 1), chiefly diuron (up to 50ngl− 1) were
detected in surface waters associated with inter-tidal seagrass meadows of Zostera muelleri …

Irgarol is a triazine photosystem II (PSII) inhibitor that has been used in Sweden as an
antifouling ingredient since the 1990s. Early microcosm studies indicated that periphyton …

Two major antifouling biocides used worldwide, Irgarol 1051 and diuron, and their
degradation products in Shoreham Harbour and Brighton Marina, UK were studied during …

In 2001, legislative measures were introduced in the UK to restrict usage of antifouling
agents in small (< 25m) vessel paints to dichlofluanid, zinc pyrithione and zineb. This …

A novel phytotoxicity assay was incorporated into an environmental assessment of Hervey
Bay and the Great Sandy Straits, to investigate the role of run-off associated herbicides in …

The toxicity and persistence of antifouling booster biocides are of major concern. This study
reports the occurrence of Irgarol 1051 and its degradation product M1, in coastal waters of …

This study considered the inputs of antifouling paint booster biocides into the aquatic
environment directly from painted hulls and high pressure hosing operations, the occurrence …

Due to their specific effect on photosynthesis, herbicides pose a potential threat to coastal
and estuarine microalgae. However, comprehensive understanding of the hazard and risk of …
