Risk assessment procedures use toxicity tests in which organisms are subjected to
chemicals under otherwise constant and favorable experimental conditions. Because …

The environmental contamination by microplastics is a global challenge to ecosystem and
human health, and the knowledge on the long-term effects of such particles is limited. Thus …

Nanoplastics (NPs;< 0.1 μm) are speculated to be a bigger ecological threat due to their
predicted wider distribution, higher concentrations, and bioavailability. Primary NPs are …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a novel class of solvents with interesting physicochemical properties.
Many different applications have been reported for ILs as alternatives to organic solvents in …

In many ecosystems, the zooplankton community has been pressured simultaneously by

The feasibility of the treatment of a complex industrial wastewater by aerobic biodegradation
in a sequential batch reactor (SBR) followed by ozone-based advanced oxidation processes …

Activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was used as an effect criterion in toxicity tests with
Daphnia magna. In the first part of the work, the conditions for the use of LDH activity in …

Bromide ion is widely used as a tracer to study water and solute transport because it does
not adsorb to negatively charged soil minerals. Therefore is moves approximately as fast as …

Abstract The Ecological Risk Assessment of pesticides requires data regarding their toxicity
to aquatic and terrestrial non-target species. Such requirements concern active ingredient …
