This paper deals with species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) for the lipophilic insecticide
lufenuron and benthic arthropods based on sediment-spiked laboratory toxicity tests. This …

This study was carried out to assess the risk of λ-cyhalothrin to aquatic organisms used in
paddy field, and to provide assistance in the ecological risk management of λ-cyhalothrin …

Chlorothalonil is a fungicide widely used in agriculture as well as an active ingredient in
antifouling paints. Although it causes toxic effects on non-target organisms and can …

Three approaches were used in a site‐specific sediment toxicity evaluation for
hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), a chemical not previously tested for toxicity in sediment. The …

Studies on the limnology, plankton, and biomagnification of pesticides at Ignacio Ramı́rez
(IR) reservoir (Mexico) were undertaken. The reservoir is located in central Mexico, in an …

The acute toxicity of chlorpyrifos and its principal metabolite 3, 5, 6-trichloropyridinol (TCP)
alone and in combination to a cladoceran, Daphnia carinata, was studied in both cladoceran …

Sediment ecotoxicity studies were conducted with lufenuron to (i) complement the results of
a water-spiked mesocosm experiment with this lipophilic benzoylurea insecticide,(ii) to …

Chlorothalonil is a widely used fungicide, but the contamination of soil and water
environments by this chemical causes potential threats to biodiversity. Given the metabolic …

Pyrethroid insecticides are widely detected in aquatic ecosystems due to their extensive use
in agriculture and horticulture, which could pose a potential risk to aquatic non-target …

Subchronic and chronic toxicity of sediment-associated 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenol to the midge
Chironomus riparius was determined by conducting a 10-day growth and a 50-day …
