[PMID: 39147220 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) have recently become ubiquitous and cumulative pollutants in the oceans. Since OPFRs are added to or adsorbed onto MPs as additives, it is necessary to study the composite contamination of OPFRs and MPs, with less focus on bio-based PLA. Therefore, this study focused on the ecotoxicity of the biodegradable MP polylactic acid (PLA) (5 μm, irregular fragments, 102 and 106 particles/L), and a representative OPFRs tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCPP, 0.5 and 50 μg/L) at environmental and high concentrations. The mussel Mytilus coruscus was used as a standardised bioindicator for exposure experiments. The focus was on examining oxidative stress (catalase, CAT, superoxide dismutase, SOD, malondialdehyde, MDA), immune responses acid (phosphatase, ACP, alkaline phosphatase, AKP, lysozyme, LZM), neurotoxicity (acetylcholinesterase, AChE), energy metabolism (lactate dehydrogenase, LDH, succinate dehydrogenase, SDH, hexokinase, HK), and physiological indices (absorption efficiency, AE, excretion rate, ER, respiration rate, RR, condition index, CI) after 14 days exposure. The results of significantly increased oxidative stress and immune responses, and significantly disturbed energy metabolism and physiological activities, together with an integrated biomarker response (IBR) analysis, indicate that bio-based PLA MPs and TCPP could cause adverse effects on mussels. Meanwhile, TCPP interacted significantly with PLA, especially at environmental concentrations, resulting in more severe negative impacts on oxidative and immune stress, and neurotoxicity. The more severe adverse effects at environmental concentrations indicate higher ecological risks of PLA, TCPP and their combination in the real marine environment. Our study presents reliable data on the complex effects of bio-based MP PLA, TCPP and their combination on marine organisms and the environment.

Abstract
Since its identification in the vitreous humour of the eye and laboratory biosynthesis, hyaluronic acid (HA) has been a vital component in several pharmaceutical, nutritional, medicinal, and cosmetic uses. However, little is known about its potential toxicological impacts on aquatic inhabitants. Herein, we investigated the hematological response of Clarias gariepinus to nominal doses of HA. To achieve this objective, 72 adult fish were randomly and evenly distributed into four groups: control, low-dose (0.5 mg/l HA), medium-dose (10 mg/l HA), and high-dose (100 mg/l HA) groups for two weeks each during both the exposure and recovery periods. The findings confirmed presence of anemia, neutrophilia, leucopoenia, lymphopenia, and eosinophilia at the end of exposure to HA. In addition, poikilocytosis and a variety of cytomorphological disturbances were observed. Dose-dependent histological alterations in spleen morphology were observed in the exposed groups. After HA removal from the aquarium for 2 weeks, the groups exposed to the two highest doses still exhibited a notable decline in red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and an increase in mean corpuscular volume. Additionally, there was a significant rise in neutrophils, eosinophils, cell alterations, and nuclear abnormalities percentages, along with a decrease in monocytes, coupled with a dose-dependent decrease in lymphocytes. Furthermore, only the highest dose of HA in the recovered groups continued to cause a significant increase in white blood cells. White blood cells remained lower, and the proportion of apoptotic RBCs remained higher in the high-dose group. The persistence of most of the haematological and histological disorders even after recovery period indicates a failure of physiological compensatory mechanisms to overcome the HA-associated problems or insufficient duration of recovery. Thus, these findings encourage the inclusion of this new hazardous agent in the biomonitoring program and provide a specific pattern of hematological profile in HA-challenged fish. Further experiments are highly warranted to explore other toxicological hazards of HA using dose/time window protocols.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 340:122828. [PMID: 37907191 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
Numerous toxic substances are directly and indirectly discharged by humans into water bodies, causing distress to the organisms living on it. 6PPD, an amino antioxidant from tires reacts with ozone to form 6PPD-Q, which has garnered global attention due to its lethal nature to various organisms. This review aims to provide an understanding of the sources, transformation, and fate of 6PPD-Q in water and the current knowledge on its effects on aquatic organisms. Furthermore, we discuss research gaps pertaining to the mechanisms by which 6PPD-Q acts within fish bodies. Previous studies have demonstrated the ubiquitous presence of 6PPD-Q in the environment, including air, water, and soil. Moreover, this compound has shown high lethality to certain fish species while not affecting others. Toxicological studies have revealed its impact on the nervous system, intestinal barrier function, cardiac function, equilibrium loss, and oxidative stress in various fish species. Additionally, exposure to 6PPD-Q has led to organ injury, lipid accumulation, and cytokine production in C. elegans and mice. Despite studies elucidating the lethal dose and effects of 6PPD-Q in fish species, the underlying mechanisms behind these symptoms remain unclear. Future studies should prioritize investigating the mechanisms underlying the lethality of 6PPD-Q in fish species to gain a better understanding of its potential effects on different organisms.

Abstract
Aquatic pollution mainly by industrial effluents has been a major concern since a few decades. The current study evaluated cyto-genotoxicity of industrial effluents on Oreochromis niloticus exposed to sublethal levels by hematotoxicity, blood biochemistry analysis, micronucleus assay, antioxidants and cerebral toxicity. The significant elevation in differential leukocytes of exposed fish was indicative of infections and compromised immune system. The acute and chronic industrial effluent exposure caused significant decline in aspartame transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) and renal function enzymes. Necrosis, hyperplastic growth, hypertrophy and toxicant accumulation exhibited cerebral toxicity potential of industrial toxicants. A significant decrease in antioxidants, GSH, SOD and catalase (0.14, 0.66 and 1549 unit/mg protein) in chronic exposure group in comparison to 0.18, 2.83, 7680 and 6200.8 values of GSH, SOD, GPx and CAT, respectively. Results showed that acute and chronic industrial effluent exposure caused genotoxicity with higher frequencies of formation of micronuclei and cytokaryotic fusion.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential element for humans and animals including, fish. It is a still poorly studied in aquatic organisms, where it can be noticeably useful for dietary components and also found pollutant in aquatic environment at high concentrations. On the above information, an experiment was delineated to determine the lethal concentration of manganese (Mn) and manganese nanoparticles (Mn-NPs) alone and with high temperature (34 °C) and its effect on various biochemical markers in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The median lethal concentration (96-LC50) of Mn alone (111.75 mg L-1) and along with high temperature (110.76 mg L-1), Mn-NPs alone (93.81 mg L-1) and with high temperature (34 °C) (92.39 mg L-1) was determined in P. hypophthalmus. The length and weight of the fish were 6.32 ± 0.23 cm and 7.57 ± 1.35 g. The present investigation used five hundred forty-six fish, including range finding (216 fish) and definitive test (330 fish). The acute definitive doses were applied to assess the effect of oxidative stress, glycolytic biomarkers, protein biomarkers, fish immunity, neurotransmitter, energy level, stress hormone and histopathology. Oxidative stress (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-s-transferase and glutathione peroxidase), stress biomarkers (lipid peroxidation, cortisol, heat shock protein, and blood glucose), lactate and malate dehydrogenase, alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, a neurotransmitter, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), ATPase, immune system biomarkers (NBT, total protein, albumin, globulin and A:G ratio) were altered with exposure to Mn and Mn-NPs. The histopathology of the liver and gill were also changed due to exposure to Mn and Mn-NPs. The bioaccumulation of Mn in the liver, gill, kidney, brain and muscle tissues, and experimental water at different intervals of 24, 48, 72 and 96 h were determined. Based on the present results, it is strongly suggested that Mn and Mn-NPs exposure alone and with high temperature (34 °C) enhanced toxicity and altered biochemical and morphological attributes. This study also suggested that essential elements in both forms (inorganic and nano) at higher concentrations of Mn and Mn-NPs lead to pronounced deleterious alteration in cellular and metabolic activities and histopathology of P. hypophthalmus.

Abstract
Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is a potent neurotoxic pesticide, extensively used in agriculture and aquaculture in Nigeria. The knowledge of its toxicological impact to C. gariepinus in Nigeria is scarce. Thus, the investigation was designed to uncover its 96 h LC50, safe level to aquatic media, histological impact on fish liver, gill and hematological changes in the blood parameters. 96 h LC50 was 0.34 mg L-1. Safe level of EMB was 0.034 mg L-1. Dose dependent liver degenerations were characterized by; Congestion of the central vein by inflammatory cells, pyknotic nuclei of hepatocytes, coagulation necrosis, focal necrosis, dilations of sinusoidal spaces and infiltration of periportal regions by inflammatory cells. Dose dependent changes in gill were characterized by; mucus secretion, shrinkage of secondary lamellae, hyperplasia, occlusion of secondary lamellae, degeneration of gill cartilage, necrosis of respiratory epithelia and erosion of secondary lamellae. Red blood cell indices decreased minimally at the end of the 96 h exposure. White blood cell count (WBCC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) elevated in three treatments. Neutrophils decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.05), basophils, eosinophils and monocytes showed mixed tendencies. The findings of this investigation imply that C. garipinus exposed to EMB may cause dose and time-dependent changes in the liver and gill histology as well as alterations in the fish's hematological profile, all of which were harmful to the fish's health. To avoid negative effects on fish in nearby aquatic settings, it is advised that the use of EMB be monitored and limited.

Abstract
Aquatic pollution may continue to deepen following the emergence of new class of toxicants. The present study investigated the effect of water-soluble fraction of burnt tire-ash on Clarias gariepinus. The fish were exposed to sublethal doses; 0.00 g/L, 2.24 g/L, 1.12 g/L and 0.56 g/L of tire-ash solution, representing 1/5, 1/10 and 1/20 of 11.2 g/L median lethal concentration (96 LC50), for 28 days, followed by 14 days recovery trial. Biological sampling was done on exposure day 1, 14 and 28, and on day14 recovery period for biochemical analysis such as the liver and gill Na+/K+ and Ca2+-ATPase, serum immunoglobulin (IgM) and brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of the experimental fish. Also, body biomass and behavior were evaluated. The behavioral responses exhibited by the fish to BTA exposure include reduced feeding, hypoactivity, air gulping and skin discoloration, which was observed to be concentration dependent. The body weight of 2.24 g/L and 1.12 g/L BTA-exposed fish decreased significantly than 0.56 g/L exposed fish and the control. Furthermore, findings revealed evident induction of Na+/K+ and Ca2 +-ATPase activities in both tissues, elevation of serum immunoglobulin content and inhibition of AChE activity in the brain of the exposed fish relative to the control. However, it was also observed that the biochemical parameters normalized after the recovery period. In conclusion, water-soluble fraction of burnt tire-ash produced toxicological effects in the experimental model, hence the present study provides the ecotoxicological insight of tire ash.

Abstract
Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer frys were exposed to polystyrene (MP: 0.5 mg/l), oil (0.83 ml/l) and agglomerates (MP + oil + Corexit) as eight treatments in three replicates, and fresh synthetic marine water (control) for 15 days. The synergistic effect was confirmed (P ˂ 0.05) by bio-indicators including RBC count, total plasma protein, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), basophils, thrombocyte and eosinophils percentages. Most of the significant and synergistic effects were observed in the highest doses (5 mg/l MP and 5 mg/l MP-oil-dispersant). Exposure to MP and a combination of MP+ oil caused tissue lesions in gill, liver and intestine. Our results suggest there are no critical health issues for Asian seabass in natural environments. However, the bioaccumulation of MPs, oil, and their agglomerates in consumers' bodies may remain a concern.

Abstract
The presence of phthalates constitutes a risk to the health of aquatic environments and organisms. This work aimed to evaluate the toxic effects of di-iso-pentyl-phthalate (DiPeP) at environmentally relevant concentrations of 5, 25, and 125 µg/L in Danio rerio after subchronic exposure for 14 days. DiPeP altered the antioxidant system in the liver (125 μg/L), intestine (25 μg/L), brain, and gills in all concentrations tested. In animals exposed to 125 μg/L, DNA damage was identified in the gills. In addition, loss of cell boundary of hepatocytes, vascular congestion, necrosis in the liver, and presence of immune cells in the intestinal lumen were observed. Erythrocytic nuclear alterations in the blood occurred in animals exposed to 25 μg/L. DiPeP was quantified in muscle tissue at all exposure concentrations, appearing in a concentration-dependent manner. Contaminants such as DiPeP will still be used for a long time, mainly by industries, being a challenge for industry versus environmental health.
