Anthropogenic sources increase freshwater salinity and produce differences in constituent
ions compared with natural waters. Moreover, ions differ in physiological roles and …

Antibiotics and nanoplastics are two prevalent pollutants in oceans, posing a great threat to
marine ecosystems. As antibiotics and nanoplastics are highly bioconcentrated in lower …

Selenium is an essential element but toxic at high levels in animals. The effects of Se on
growth performance and the immune system in Nile tilapia remain inconclusive. In this study …

Field surveys of metal-contaminated streams suggest that some aquatic insects, particularly
mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and stoneflies (Plecoptera), are highly sensitive to metals …

The response of larval aquatic insects to stressors such as metals is used to assess the
ecological condition of streams worldwide. However, nearly all larval insects metamorphose …

Salinity in freshwater ecosystems has increased significantly at numerous locations
throughout the world, and this increase often reflects the use or production of salts from road …

One of the ultimate goals of green chemistry is to produce greener and more
environmentally friendly chemicals to replace the existing toxic chemicals. In this study …

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor used as an antidepressant and has
been frequently detected in aquatic environments. However, its effects in fish from Asia …

The development of water quality criteria (WQC) for the protection of aquatic life is a
fundamental component of the Clean Water Act—the primary US legislation responsible for …

Laboratory assessments of aqueous metal toxicity generally demonstrate aquatic insects
tolerate relatively high concentrations of metals in aqueous exposures; however, mesocosm …
