One of the major challenges in metal ecotoxicology is to identify the sites and forms of metal
bindings which are subsequently linked with the metal functions such as bioavailability …

Radioisotopes have been used in earth and environmental sciences for over 150 years and
provide unique tools to study environmental processes in great detail from a cellular level …

The use of freshwater invertebrates for biomonitoring has been increasing for several
decades, but little is known about relations between external exposure concentration of …

One of the best approaches for improving the assessment of metal toxicity in aquatic
organisms is to study their organotropism (ie, the distribution of metals among organs) …

We studied the depuration mechanisms of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cr, Fe) in
Neohelice granulata, from sites with different human impacts (PC, a more impacted site and …

The use of live animal gamma radioisotope tracer techniques in the field of ecotoxicology
allows laboratory studies to accurately monitor contaminant biokinetics in real time for an …

Metals are persistent pollutants, able to accumulate in the biota and magnify in trophic web.
In the specific case of cadmium contamination, it has been the subject of considerable …

Stormwater runoff has been identified as a major source of metal contaminants in urban
waterways, where during storm events organisms tend to be exposed to short-term pulses …

Metals introduced into the urban aquatic environment through anthropogenic activities have
the potential to accumulate in organisms via multiple uptake routes. Understanding the …

Abstract Benzo [a] pyrene (BaP) and cadmium (Cd) are soil pollutants that persist in the
environment and impacting soil health. Earthworms are selective consumers, yet little is …
