Metal cation toxicity to basidiomycete fungi is poorly understood, despite its well‐known
importance in terrestrial ecosystems. Moreover, there is no reported methodology for the …

Metal toxicity is a function of the biology of the target organism and the chemical speciation
of the metal. The toxicity of 11 metals was assessed with three cell‐based bioassays based …

The influence of the halogen upon the TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of p-halophenols in
water has been investigated. Phenol was used as the reference compound. Compared with …

Terrestrial invertebrates are often used as indicator organisms in ecological risk
assessments. However, determining the risk of metals to invertebrates is laborious and time …

Marine pollution by metals has been a major challenge for ecological systems; however,
water quality criteria (WQC) for metals in saltwater is still lacking. Especially from a …

With increasing annual chemical development and production, safety testing demands and
requirements have also increased. In addition to traditional animal testing, quantitative …

Transition metals are a group of elements widespread in aquatic environments that can be
hazardous when concentrations exceeding threshold values. Due to insufficient data, criteria …

The removal of harmful metals from the intestinal environment can be inhibited by various
ions which can interfere with the adsorption of target metal ions. Therefore, it is important to …

Abstract Effect doses (EDs) of metals/metalloids, usually obtained from toxicological
experiments are required for developing environmental quality criteria/standards for use in …

In aqueous environments, certain heavy metals are toxic even at very low concentrations.
The main pathway of metal removal in the aquatic systems is via adsorption onto surfaces …
