Due to the bioaccumulative behavior, toxicity, and recalcitrance to degradation, per-and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a focus for many researchers investigating freshwater …

With increasing concerns on the ecological risks of pollutants, many efforts have been
devoted to revealing the toxic effects of pollutants on algae or bacteria in their monocultures …

Micropollutants, as a serious water pollution issue, raise considerable toxicological
concerns, particularly when present as components of complex mixtures. Due to the …

Bench scale tests were conducted to study the effects of four common algaecides, including
copper sulfate, hydrogen peroxide, diuron and ethyl 2-methylacetoacetate (EMA) on the …

Microplastics are considered as the emerging pollutants, which not only directly affect
aquatic organisms, but also causes combined pollution by adsorbing other pollutants …

We investigated the effects of pharmaceuticals and pesticides detected in a Mediterranean
river, on fluvial biofilms by translocation experiments performed under controlled conditions …

Pesticides have a pervasive presence in aquatic ecosystems throughout the world. While
pesticides are intended to control fungi, insects, and other pests, their mechanisms of action …

We examined the presence of pesticides in the Llobregat river basin (Barcelona, Spain) and
their effects on benthic biological communities (invertebrates and diatoms). The Llobregat …

Diatoms are regularly used for bioassessment and ecotoxicological studies in relation to
environmental and anthropogenic disturbances. Traditional taxonomical diatom parameters …

The primary goal of this study was to develop a new strategy to inactivate bacterial biofilms
using the thermal stress derived from superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) …
