PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 198:105738. [PMID: 38225085 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105738] [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: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of propiconazole on the tubificid segmented worm, Tubifex tubifex. The animals were exposed to various concentrations of propiconazole for 96 h to assess the acute effect of this fungicide and for subacute level animals were exposed for 14 days with 10% and 20% of the 96 h LC50 value (0.211 and 0.422 mg/l, respectively). The 96 h LC50 value was determined to be 2.110 mg/l, and sublethal propiconazole concentrations caused significant changes in the oxidative stress enzymes. When compared to control organisms, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity first decreases and then significantly increases on days 7 and 14. However, GST activity decreases and MDA concentration rises in a concentration- and time-dependent manner throughout the exposure period. In addition, the impacts of propiconazole on Tubifex tubifex were characterized and depicted using a correlation matrix and an integrated biomarker response (IBR) assessment. These findings suggest that exposure to this fungicide distorts the survivability and behavioral response in Tubifex tubifex at the acute level. In addition, it modulates changes in oxidative stress enzymes at the sublethal level. Furthermore, the species sensitivity distribution curve indicates that this tubificid worm has a high risk of survival in the presence of the fungicide propiconazole in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Petroleum product is an essential resource for energy, that has been exploited by wide range of industries and regular life. A carbonaceous contamination of marine and terrestrial environments caused by errant runoffs of consequential petroleum-derived contaminants. Additionally, petroleum hydrocarbons can have adverse effects on human health and global ecosystems and also have negative demographic consequences in petroleum industries. Key contaminants of petroleum products, primarily includes aliphatic hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), resins, and asphaltenes. On environmental interaction, these pollutants result in ecotoxicity as well as human toxicity. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, DNA mutations, and protein dysfunction are a few key causative mechanisms behind the toxic impacts. Henceforth, it becomes very evident to have certain remedial strategies which could help on eliminating these xenobiotics from the environment. This brings the efficacious application of bioremediation to remove or degrade pollutants from the ecosystems. In the recent scenario, extensive research and experimentation have been implemented towards bio-benign remediation of these petroleum-based pollutants, aiming to reduce the load of these toxic molecules in the environment. This review gives a detailed overview of petroleum pollutants, and their toxicity. Methods used for degrading them in the environment using microbes, periphytes, phyto-microbial interactions, genetically modified organisms, and nano-microbial remediation. All of these methods could have a significant impact on environmental management.

Abstract
A pilot annual monitoring survey (April 2018-March 2019) was conducted to investigate the presence of pesticides in superficial water and fish in Laguna del Cisne, one of the most critical drinking water sources in Uruguay. A total of 25 pesticide residues were detected in superficial water (89.3 % of the samples). Pesticide's temporal distribution was associated with crops and livestock practices, with higher occurrences in spring and summer than in autumn and winter. The most frequent compounds in superficial water were the insecticide chlorantraniliprole, and the herbicides glyphosate (including its metabolite AMPA) and metolachlor. The levels of Organochlorine pesticide, p,p'-DDT, was in some cases two order of magnitude above the international water quality guidelines for Ambient Water Criteria. In fishes, eight different pesticides were detected, at concentrations from 1000 to 453,000 ng·kg-1. The most frequent pesticides found were propiconazole, chlorpyrifos, and p,p'-DDE. The widespread occurrence of pesticides in fish suggests potential exposure effects on fish populations and the aquatic ecosystem. The sampling approach of this work allowed monitoring the continuous concentrations of several pesticides in surface waters and fishes to establish the influence from past and current agriculture practices in Laguna del Cisne basin. For safety measures, continuous monitoring programs must be performed in this system to prevent toxicity impacts on aquatic organisms and human health.

Abstract
Studying the bioaccumulation behavior and toxicity of triazole fungicides is a crucial part of comprehensively evaluating the environmental fate and aquatic toxicity.The current research aimed to reveal the toxic effects of propiconazole and difenoconazole on fish through acute toxicity test, bioaccumulation test and oxidase system activity determination. Here, the propiconazole and difenoconazole concentrations were 11.3 mg/L and 31.2 mg/L for LC50-96 h, both having low toxicity. LC-MS/MS was used to determine the propiconazole and difenoconazole concentrations in five organs (muscle, gill, liver, intestine, and kidney) of Procypris meru. The findings indicate that the bioconcentration coefficients of propiconazole and difenoconazole in grass flower carp were 0.66-27.08 and 2.43-22.72, which belonged to medium enrichment pesticides. The bioconcentration coefficients decreased with the increase of exposure concentration. The two fungicides could induce oxidative stress in fish liver, and the activities of three antioxidant enzymes were inhibited in varying degrees (p < 0.05). The results showed that the content of T3 increased, and T4 decreased when exposed to one-tenth LC50 for 7 days. This study shows that triazole pesticides have bioaccumulation risks on aquatic organisms and clear environmental hormonal effects.

Abstract
One of the major causes of aquatic biodiversity loss is the contamination of the environment by pesticides. Even though there is a considerable amount of studies on the subject, there are still few that deal with the effects of carbofuran on native species in Brazil. Although carbofuran is widely used in Brazil, its action on native organisms, such as the Atlantic Forest lambari Deuterodon iguape, has not yet been studied. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of exposure to carbofuran on the fish D. iguape, considering the behavior and specific oxygen consumption as end points. Opercular movements, dorsal fin movements, and swimming speed were analyzed as behavioral parameters. To assess specific oxygen consumption, fish were subjected to concentrations of 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 mg/L, for 24 h. For behavior analysis, fish remained exposed to carbofuran at concentrations of 0.0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/L, in periods of 0, 2, 24, and 48 h. The behavior was studied through filming, analyzed with the free software, Tracker 4.92 (Open Source Physics). The results demonstrate an increase in opercular movements (18% ± 2.65) and a decrease in dorsal fin movements (- 21.2% ± 2.97), as well as in swimming speed (- 58.3% ± 1.83) of the experimental groups compared to the control group. There was an increase in oxygen consumption of 58.4% in fish exposed to the highest concentration of carbofuran. Thus, it is concluded that carbofuran altered D. iguape's behavior and oxygen consumption. The species was sensitive to carbofuran concentrations and can be used as a bioindicator.
