Abstract
In recent years, the presence of Pharmaceutical Active Compounds (PhACs) in ecosystems has become a serious environmental problem due to their capacity to induce harmful effects at extremely low concentrations in both humans and wildlife. Water treatment plants have not been designed to remove these types of compounds efficiently. Thus, the detection of these pollutants is essential to evaluate their negative impacts and is one of the emerging issues in environmental chemistry. The main objective of this study is to determine the bacterial toxicity of two PhACs (both individually and as a mixture) through the quantification of bioluminescence inhibition in the marine bacteria Aliivibrio fischeri, a commonly used method in short-term toxicity tests. In this work, Acetaminophen and Edaravone, two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration, have been studied. The acute toxicity of these PhACs has been tested at two exposure times (5 and 15 min) and different concentrations, by estimation of the median effective concentration (EC50) for each individual compound or in combination at different concentrations. Moreover, the EC50 of the binary mixtures Acetaminophen/Edaravone have been forecast using two traditional predictive models, Concentration Addition and Independent Action. The results show that toxicity decreases with exposure time and depends on the concentration tested. Furthermore, a novel semi-empirical Van Laar-based model has been proposed and validated with the experimental data from this study and literature data, obtaining satisfactory estimations of the EC50 for binary mixtures.

Abstract
Due to technological and economic limitations, waste products such as sewage and manure generated in livestock farming lack comprehensive scientific and centralized treatment. This leads to the exposure of various contaminants in livestock wastewater, posing potential risks to both the ecological environment and human health. This review evaluates the environmental and physical health risks posed by common pollutants in livestock wastewater and outlines future treatment methods to mitigate these risks. Residual wastes in livestock wastewater, including pathogenic bacteria and parasites surviving after epidemics or diseases on various farms, along with antibiotics, organic wastes, and heavy metals from farming activities, contribute to environmental damage and pose risks to human health. As the livestock industry's development increasingly impacts society's future negatively, addressing the issue of residual wastes in livestock wastewater discharge becomes imperative. Ongoing advancements in wastewater treatment systems are consistently updating and refining practices to effectively minimize waste exposure at the discharge source, mitigating risks to environmental ecology and human health. This review not only summarizes the "potential risks of livestock wastewater" but also explores "the prospects for the development of wastewater treatment technologies" based on current reports. It offers valuable insights to support the long-term and healthy development of the livestock industry and contribute to the sustainable development of the ecological environment.

Bioaccumulation and fate of pharmaceuticals in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon: Temporal variation and impact of a flash flood event. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 228:115887. [PMID: 37054836 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Coastal ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to terrestrial inputs from human-impacted areas. The prevalence of wastewater treatment plants, unable to remove contaminants such as pharmaceuticals (PhACs), leads to their continuous input into the marine environment. In this paper, the seasonal occurrence of PhACs in a semi-confined coastal lagoon (the Mar Menor, south-eastern Spain) was studied during 2018 and 2019 by evaluating their presence in seawater and sediments, and their bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms. Temporal variation in the contamination levels was evaluated by comparison to a previous study carried out between 2010 and 2011 before the cessation of permanent discharges of treated wastewater into the lagoon. The impact of a flash flood event (September 2019) on PhACs pollution was also assessed. A total of seven compounds (out of 69 PhACs analysed) were found in seawater during 2018-2019, with a limited detection frequency (<33%) and concentrations (up to 11 ng/L of clarithromycin). Only carbamazepine was found in sediments (ND-1.2 ng/g dw), suggesting an improved environmental quality in comparison to 2010-2011 (when 24 and 13 compounds were detected in seawater and sediments, respectively). However, the biomonitoring of fish and molluscs showed a still remarkable accumulation of analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs, lipid regulators, psychiatric drugs and β-blocking agents, albeit not higher than in 2010. The flash flood event from 2019 increased the prevalence of PhACs in the lagoon, compared to the 2018-2019 sampling campaigns, especially in the upper water layer. After the flash flood the antibiotics clarithromycin and sulfapyridine yielded the highest concentrations ever reported in the lagoon (297 and 145 ng/L, respectively), alongside azithromycin in 2011 (155 ng/L). Flash flood events associated with sewer overflows and soil mobilisation, which are expected to increase under climate change scenarios, should be considered when assessing the risks posed by pharmaceuticals to vulnerable aquatic ecosystems in the coastal areas.

Abstract
Riverine fish in densely populated areas is constantly exposed to wastewater-borne contaminants from effluent discharges. These can enter the organism through the skin, gills or by ingestion. Whereas most studies assessing the contaminant burden in exposed fish have focused either on muscle or a limited set of tissues. Here we set out to generate a more comprehensive overview of the distribution of pollutants across tissues by analyzing a panel of matrices including liver, kidney, skin, brain, muscle, heart, plasma and bile. To achieve a broad analyte coverage with a minimal bias towards a specific contaminant class, sample extracts from four fish species were analyzed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) - high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for the presence of 600 wastewater-borne pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) with known environmental relevance in river water through a suspect-screening analysis. A total of 30 compounds were detected by suspect screening in at least one of the analyzed tissues with a clear prevalence of antidepressants. Of these, 15 were detected at confidence level 2.a (Schymanski scale), and 15 were detected at confidence level 1 following confirmation with authentic standards, which furthermore enabled their quantification. The detected PhACs confirmed with level 1 of confidence included acridone, acetaminophen, caffeine, clarithromycin, codeine, diazepam, diltiazem, fluoxetine, ketoprofen, loratadine, metoprolol, sertraline, sotalol, trimethoprim, and venlafaxine. Among these substances, sertraline stood out as it displayed the highest detection frequency. The values of tissue partition coefficients for sertraline in the liver, kidney, brain and muscle were correlated with its physicochemical properties. Based on inter-matrix comparison of detection frequencies, liver, kidney, skin and heart should be included in the biomonitoring studies of PhACs in riverine fish.

Abstract
In Asian developing countries, undeveloped and ineffective sewer systems are causing surface water pollution by a lot of contaminants, especially pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Therefore, the risks for freshwater fauna need to be assessed. The present study aimed at: i) elucidating the contamination status; ii) evaluating the bioaccumulation; and iii) assessing the potential risks of PPCP residues in surface water and freshwater fish from three Asian countries. We measured 43 PPCPs in the plasma of several fish species as well as ambient water samples collected from India (Chennai and Bengaluru), Indonesia (Jakarta and Tangerang), and Vietnam (Hanoi and Hoa Binh). In addition, the validity of the existing fish blood-water partitioning model based solely on the lipophilicity of chemicals is assessed for ionizable and readily metabolizable PPCPs. When comparing bioaccumulation factors calculated from the PPCP concentrations measured in the fish and water (BAFmeasured) with bioconcentration factors predicted from their pH-dependent octanol-water partition coefficient (BCFpredicted), close values (within an order of magnitude) were observed for 58-91 % of the detected compounds. Nevertheless, up to 110 times higher plasma BAFmeasured than the BCFpredicted were found for the antihistamine chlorpheniramine in tilapia but not in other fish species. The plasma BAFmeasured values of the compound were significantly different in the three fish species (tilapia > carp > catfish), possibly due to species-specific differences in toxicokinetics (e.g., plasma protein binding and hepatic metabolism). Results of potential risk evaluation based on the PPCP concentrations measured in the fish plasma suggested that chlorpheniramine, triclosan, haloperidol, triclocarban, diclofenac, and diphenhydramine can pose potential adverse effects on wild fish. Results of potential risk evaluation based on the PPCP concentrations measured in the surface water indicated high ecological risks of carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, and triclosan on Asian freshwater ecosystems.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 316:120531. [PMID: 36397612 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Contamination of surface waters by pharmaceuticals is an emerging problem globally. This is because the increased access and use of pharmaceuticals by a growing world population lead to environmental contamination, threatening non-target species in their natural environment. Of particular concern are neuroactive pharmaceuticals, which are known to bioaccumulate in fish and impact a variety of individual processes such as fish reproduction or behaviour, which can have ecological impacts and compromise fish populations. In this work, we investigate the occurrence and bioaccumulation of 33 neuroactive pharmaceuticals in brain, muscle and liver tissues of multiple fish species collected in four different estuaries (Douro, Tejo, Sado and Mira). In total, 28 neuroactive pharmaceuticals were detected in water and 13 in fish tissues, with individual pharmaceuticals reaching maximum concentrations of 1590 ng/L and 207 ng/g ww, respectively. The neuroactive pharmaceuticals with the highest levels and highest frequency of detection in the water samples were psychostimulants, antidepressants, opioids and anxiolytics, whereas in fish tissues, antiepileptics, psychostimulants, anxiolytics and antidepressants showed highest concentrations. Bioaccumulation was ubiquitous, occurring in all seven estuarine and marine fish species. Notably, neuroactive compounds were detected in every water and fish brain samples, and in 95% of fish liver and muscle tissues. Despite variations in pharmaceutical occurrence among estuaries, bioaccumulation patterns were consistent among estuarine systems, with generally higher bioaccumulation in fish brain followed by liver and muscle. Moreover, no link between bioaccumulation and compounds' lipophilicity, species habitat use patterns or trophic levels was observed. Overall, this work highlights the occurrence of a highly diverse suite of neuroactive pharmaceuticals and their pervasiveness in waters and fish from estuarine systems with contrasting hydromorphology and urban development and emphasizes the urgent need for toxicity assessment of these compounds in natural ecosystems, linked to internalized body concentration in non-target species.

Abstract
The impact of pharmaceutical residue transport in the aquatic ecosystem has become an increasing subject of environmental interest due to the inherent bioactivity of trace levels of antibiotics and the negative environmental and public health impact. In this study, three veterinary pharmaceuticals including tetracycline, ivermectin, and salicylic acid were investigated in a piggery effluent from Western Cape, South Africa. Three freshwater organisms' taxonomic groups (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Daphnia magna, and Tetrahymena thermophila) were used to determine the ecological risk of different treated piggery effluent concentration range of 1%, 10%, and 20% and a cocktail mixture of veterinary pharmaceuticals of environmental concerns. The average concentration of veterinary pharmaceuticals was in the range of 47.35, 7.19, and 1.46 μg L-1 for salicylic acid, chloro-tetracycline, and ivermectin, respectively. P. subcapitata exposed to 20% piggery wastewater effluent at 24- and 48-h EC50 showed a toxicity value of 14.2% and 13.6% (v/v), respectively. The study established the ecological risk of the test compounds as low to medium risk for low-level dose and low concentrations of piggery effluent. The relative sensitivity ranking of the taxa drawn is microalgae > protozoa > Cladocera. The study results demonstrated that a high dose of piggery effluent and mixtures of veterinary pharmaceutical can pose a high risk in freshwater ecosystems. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Transport processes of veterinary antibiotics into the environment were investigated. Dilution effect of the veterinary pharmaceutical on the antibiotic levels exists. High dose of piggery effluent presented an ecological risk.

Abstract
The continuous exposure to pharmaceuticals and personal care products can lead to a series of individual antagonistic and synergistic effects and long-lasting toxicity to humans and aquatic lives. This may also lead to developing antibiotic resistance, teratogenic, carcinogenic, and endocrine-disrupting effects. However, several PPCPs are also considered biologically active for non-target aquatic organisms, such as mosquito fish, goldfish, and the algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. Various physicochemical methods such as ozonation, photolysis, and membrane separation are recognized for the effective removal of PPCPs. However, the high operation and maintenance costs and associated ecological impacts have limited their further use. Constructed wetlands are considered eco-friendly and sustainable for the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products together with antibiotic resistance genes. Several mechanisms such as sorption, biodegradation, oxidation, photodegradation, volatilization, and hydrolysis are occurring during the phytoremediation of PPCPs. During these processes, more than 50% of PPCPs can be eliminated through constructed wetlands. They also offer several additional benefits as obtained macrophytic biomass may be used as raw material in pulp and paper industries and a source for second-generation biofuel production. In this study, we have discussed the origin and impacts of PPCPs together with their treatment methods. We have also investigated the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with constructed wetlands during the treatment of wastewater laden with pharmaceutical and personal care products.

Abstract
Sertraline (SER) is one of the most commonly detected antidepressants in the aquatic environment that can negatively affect aquatic organisms at low concentrations. Despite some knowledge on its acute toxicity to fish, the effects of chronic SER exposure remain poorly understood along with any underlying mechanisms of SER-induced toxicity. To address this knowledge gap, the effects of chronic exposure to three SER concentrations from low to high were investigated in zebrafish. Juvenile zebrafish were exposed to three concentrations of 1, 10, or 100 μg/L of SER for 28 d, after which indicators of oxidative stress and neurotoxicity in the brain were measured. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly enhanced by SER at 1 up to 100 μg/L, and catalase (CAT) activity was significantly induced by SER at 1 or 10 μg/L. The activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was significantly induced by 10 and 100 μg/L of SER, and the serotonin (5-HT) level was significantly increased by all three concentrations of SER. To ascertain mechanisms of SER-induced toxicity, transcriptomics was conducted in the brain of zebrafish following 100 μg/L SER exposure. The molecular signaling pathways connected with circadian system and the immune system were significantly altered in the zebrafish brain. Based on transcriptomic data, the expression levels of six circadian clock genes were measured, and three genes were significantly altered in relative abundance in fish from all experimental treatments with SER, including cryptochrome circadian regulator 2 (cry2), period circadian clock 2 (per2), and period circadian clock 3 (per3). We hypothesize that the circadian system may be related to SER-induced neurotoxicity and oxidative stress in the central nervous system. This study reveals potential mechanisms and key events (i.e., oxidative stress and neurotoxicity) associated with SER-induced toxicity, and improves understanding of the molecular and biochemical pathways putatively perturbed by SER.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:10875. [PMID: 36078591 PMCID: PMC9518526 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191710875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Carbamazepine, as one of several pharmaceutical and personal care products, has gained much attention in recent years because of its continuous discharge in natural waters and toxicity to aquatic ecosystems. However, it is difficult to evaluate and manage carbamazepine pollution because of the lack of a rational and scientific Water Quality Criteria (WQC) of carbamazepine. In this study, the carbamazepine toxicity data of thirty-five aquatic species from eight taxonomic groups were selected, and the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) method was applied to derive the WQC for carbamazepine based on the Log-logistic model, which was 18.4 ng/L. Meanwhile, the occurrence and distribution of carbamazepine in the Nansi Lake basin was studied. Results showed that concentrations of carbamazepine in 29 sampling sites were in the range of 3.3 to 128.2 ng/L, with the mean of 17.3 ng/L. In general, the levels of carbamazepine in tributaries were higher than those in the lakes. In addition, qualitative and quantitative ecological risk assessment methods were applied to assess the adverse effect of carbamazepine on aquatic systems. The hazard quotient (HQ) method showed that there were 24 and 5 sampling sites, in which risk levels were low and moderate, respectively. The joint probability curve (JPC) method indicated that ecological risks might exist in 1.4% and 1.0% of surface water, while a 5% threshold and 1% threshold were set up to protect aquatic species, respectively. Generally, carbamazepine posed a low risk to the aquatic organisms in the Nansi Lake basin.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 300:118916. [PMID: 35104558 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.118916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2020] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Bank filtration (BF) has been employed for more than a century for the production of water with a better quality, and it has been showing satisfactory results in diclofenac attenuation. Considered the most administered analgesic in the world, diclofenac has been frequently detected in water bodies. Besides being persistent in the environment, this compound is not completely removed by the conventional water treatments, drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) and wastewater treatment plant (WWTPs). BF has a high complexity, whose efficiency depends on the characteristics of the observed pollutant and on the environment where the system in installed, which is why this is a topic that has been constantly studied. Nevertheless, studies present the behavior of diclofenac during the BF process. In this context, this research performed the evaluation of the factors and the biogeochemical processes that influence the efficiency of the BF technique in diclofenac removal. The aerobic conditions, higher temperatures, microbial biomass density, hydrogen potential close to neutrality and sediments with heterogeneous fractions are considered the ideal conditions in the aquifer for diclofenac removal. Nonetheless, there is no consensus on which of these factors has the greatest contribution on the mechanism of attenuation during BF. Studies with columns in laboratory and modeling affirm that the highest degradation rates occur in the first centimeters (5-50 cm) of the passage of water through the porous medium, in the environment known as hyporheic zone, where intense biogeochemical activities occur. Research has shown 100% removal efficiency for diclofenac persistent to compounds not removed during the BF process. However, half of the studies had removal efficiency that ranged between 80 and 100%. Therefore, the performance of more in-depth studies on the degradation and mobility of this compound becomes necessary for a better understanding of the conditions and biogeochemical processes which act in its attenuation.

Abstract
Background:
The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in surface and drinking water is ubiquitous
and is a major concern of researchers. These compounds cause a destructive impact on
aquatic and terrestrial life forms, and the removal of these compounds from the environment is a
challenging issue. Existent conventional wastewater treatment processes are generally inefficacious
because of their low degradation efficiency and inadequate techniques associated with the disposal
of adsorbed pollutants during comparatively effective methods like the adsorption process.
Remediation Method:
Semiconductor-mediated photocatalysis is an attractive technology for the
efficient removal of pharmaceutical compounds. Among various semiconductors, TiO2 and ZnObased
photocatalysts gained much interest during the last years because of their efficiency in decomposing
and mineralizing the lethal organic pollutants with the utilization of UV-visible light.
Incessant efforts are being undertaken for tuning the physicochemical, optical, and electronic properties
of these photocatalysts to strengthen their overall photocatalytic performance with good recycling
efficiency.
Results:
This review attempts to showcase the recent progress in the rational design and fabrication
of nanosized TiO2 and ZnO photocatalysts for the removal of pollutants derived from the pharmaceutical
industry and hospital wastes.
Conclusion:
Photocatalysis involving TiO2 and ZnO provides a positive impact on pollution management
and could be successfully applied to remove pharmaceuticals from wastewater streams.
Structure modifications, the introduction of heteroatoms, and the integration of polymers with
these nano photocatalysts offer leapfrogging opportunities for broader applications in the field of
photocatalysis.

Assessment of a wide array of organic micropollutants of emerging concern in wastewater treatment plants in Greece: Occurrence, removals, mass loading and potential risks. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 802:149860. [PMID: 34525693 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Exploring the contamination profile of multi-class emerging contaminants (ECs) in wastewater is highly desirable. To this end, the occurrence, removal, mass loading and risks associated with a large panel of pharmaceuticals and personal care products, illicit drugs, perfluorinated compounds and organophosphate flame retardants in two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the region of Thessaloniki (Greece) after a survey is illustrated. Influent and effluent wastewaters were submitted to solid phase extraction on Oasis HLB cartridges, followed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Orbitrap MS). Influent concentrations in both WWTPs were notably higher than effluent, with caffeine, acetaminophen, irbesartan and valsartan being the most ubiquitous compounds, exhibiting elevated concentrations. Average effluent concentrations ranged from below the method quantification limits (<MQL) to remarkably high values (μg L-1 scale), such as for caffeine, acetaminophen, diclofenac, irbesartan and valsartan, among others. Removal efficiencies ranged between -273% for lamotrigine and 100%, i.e., for the UV filter BP1. Notably, the polar compounds such as cytarabine, methotrexate and capecitabine were removed at a rate >80% in both WWTPs, allowing the correlation between logKow and removals. Interesting trends for the illicit drugs were revealed by means of mass loading estimation, as in the case of benzoylecgonine (71.6 mg/day/1000 inhabitants). Ecotoxicological risk assessment was evaluated for both single components and mixture, using three approaches: risk quotient (RQ), risk quotient considering frequency (RQf) and toxic units (TU). Irbesartan and telmisartan posed a high risk in all trophic levels, while fish was the most sensitive taxa for diclofenac. This work aspires to intensify the surveillance programs for the receiving water bodies, as well as to motivate the investigation of toxicity to non-target organisms.

Abstract
The potential effects of the environmental residues of Atorvastatin (ATV) as a widely used antilipemic agent on aquatic organisms deserve more investigations because of its high detection frequency in environment. The responses of Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway (including the transcriptional expression of Nrf2, Keap1, GCLC, GPx, GST, SOD, CAT, Trx2, TrxR, HMG-CoAR and PGC-1α) in Mugilogobius abei were investigated under acute and sub-chronic exposure of ATV in the simulated laboratory conditions. The changes of related enzymatic activity (GST, GPx, SOD, CAT and TrxR) and the content of GSH and MDA combining with the observation of histology sections of liver in M. abei were also addressed. The results show Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant genes were induced to different degrees under ATV exposure. The activities of antioxidant enzymes were inhibited at 24 h and 72 h but induced/recovered at 168 h. Correspondingly, negatively correlated to GSH, MDA increased first but reduced then. Notably, with the increase of exposure concentration/time, the volume of lipid cells in liver decreased, suggesting more lipid decomposition. Therefore, lipid metabolism was suppressed (down-regulation of PGC-1α) and cholesterol biosynthesis was induced (up-regulation of HMG-COAR) at 168 h. In short, ATV brings oxidative stress to M. abei in the initial phase. However, with the increase of exposure time, ATV activates Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway and improves the antioxidant capacity of M. abei to reverse this adverse effect. ATV also affects lipid metabolism of M. abei by reducing cholesterol content and accelerating lipid decomposition.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of drugs and endocrine disrupters in water supplies and in water for human consumption. Twelve sampling campaigns were carried out during the rainy and dry season at four sampling points in the Bolonha Complex, in the city of Belém, northern region of Brazil: Bolonha reservoir (catchment) and Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Bolonha (filtered water chamber, treated water tank, and washing water from the filters). The determination of the compounds was performed by solid phase extraction followed by gas and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The results confirmed the anthropic influence that the reservoir and WTP-Bolonha have been suffering, as consequence of the discharge of domestic sewage in natura. Among 25 microcontaminants analyzed, 12 were quantified in raw water and 10 in treated water. The antiallergic Loratadine (LRT) was the contaminant that occurred most frequently in all sample points, having been poorly removed (median 12%) in the conventional treatment used. Losartana (LST), 4-octylphenol (4-OP), and Bisphenol A (BPA) also occurred very frequently in raw water with concentrations ranging from 3.7 to 194 ng L-1. Although such contaminants occurred in treated water in concentrations varying from 4.0 to 135 ng L-1, the estimated margin of exposure ranged from 55 to 3333 times which indicates low risk of human exposure to such contaminants through ingestion of treated water.

Abstract
Bisphenol analogues (BPs) have been widely used in industrial production as substitutes of bisphenol A (BPA). The demand and production of BPs are growing rapidly in China. In this study, the pollution levels and distribution characteristics of five BPs were investigated in surface water from rivers located in different land-use types of an ecological demonstration zone. All BPs were detected at least once in the traditionally dissolved phase, colloidal phase and suspended particulate matter (SPM) with the mean total concentrations of 465.1 ng L-1, 114.4 ng L-1 and 11.3 μg g-1 dry weight, respectively. BPA is the dominant BP in the traditionally dissolved phase and colloidal phase, with the mean contribution rates of 77.6% and 70.7%, respectively, followed by bisphenol F (BPF) and/or bisphenol S (BPS). The colloids as the important sinks of contaminants contributed 42.3% of bisphenol Z, 37.3% of BPF, 24.9% of BPA, 22.3% of BPAF and 18.4% of BPS in the traditionally dissolved phase. However, BPA alternatives are found primarily in the SPM, in which the contribution rate of BPA ranges from 0.6% to 48.1%, with the mean contribution of 12.4%. Based on BP concentrations in the traditionally dissolved phase, moderate ecological risk levels of BPA and BPF towards aquatic organisms were posed. Fish and/or algae are the most sensitive aquatic organisms, and hence chronic toxicological effects should not be ignored especially in fish.

Abstract
Sertraline (SER) is one of the most frequently detected antidepressant drugs in aquatic environments. However, knowledge regarding SER-induced behavioral alterations in fish is insufficient, as well as the mechanisms underlying SER-induced toxicity. The present study aimed to determine behavioral and molecular responses in larval fish following SER exposure with a focus on its mode of action. Zebrafish embryos (~6 h-post-fertilization, hpf) were exposed to one of three concentrations of SER (1, 10, 100 μg/L) for 6 days, respectively. Evaluated parameters included development, behavior, transcripts related to serotonin signaling, serotonin levels, and acetylcholinesterase activity. Accelerated hatching of zebrafish embryos was observed for those fish exposed to 100 μg/L SER at 54 hpf. Locomotor activity (e.g. distance moved and mobile cumulative duration) was significantly reduced in larval zebrafish following exposure to 10 and 100 μg/L SER. Conversely, larval fish showed increased dark-avoidance after exposure to 1-100 μg/L SER. Of the measured transcripts related to serotonin signaling, only serotonin transporter (serta) and serotonin receptor 2c (5-ht2c) mRNA levels were increased in fish in response to 10 μg/L SER treatment. However, serotonin levels were unaltered in larvae exposed to SER. There were no differences among groups in acetylcholinesterase activity at any concentration tested. Taking together, the results evidenced that exposure to SER alters behavioral responses in early-staged zebrafish, which may be related to the abnormal expression of 5-ht2c. This study elucidates molecular responses to SER and characterizes targets that may be sensitive to antidepressant pharmaceuticals in larval fish.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 208:111481. [PMID: 33120264 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 151] [Impact Index Per Article: 50.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 10/09/2020] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol analogues (BPs) have been widely applied to industry as the substitutes for bisphenol A (BPA), which have been detected frequently in surface water, sediment, sewage and sludge. The presence of BPs in natural environment could pose risks to the aquatic ecosystem and human health. This study outlined the occurrence, toxicity of BPs in aquatic environment and manifested their potential ecological risk to the aquatic ecosystem throughout the world. As for occurrence, BPA was losing its dominance, while BPs were occupying a large part, especially for bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol AF (BPAF). In some heavily polluted areas, BPs concentration reached µg/L in aquatic environment, which in the effluent of sewage plants was higher than that in the surface water. BPs content in sludge and sediment was more than that in the aqueous phase. All BPs other than BPS and Bisphenol P (BPP) had moderate toxicity. The current data supports that exposure to BPs may have adverse effects on dysfunction of endocrine system such as thyroid hormone concentration, enzyme activity, and even cell dysfunction, gene damage and chromosomal abnormalities. According to the risk quotient (RQ), BPF shows the highest ecological risk in China, Japan and South Korea, followed by BPA and BPS. The occurrence of bisphenols and their neurotoxicity on aquatic organisms merit further investigation.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals are widespread in aquatic ecosystem, which may pose a potential threat to fish and human. In the study, a robust and reliable magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) based on bovine serum albumin (BSA) restricted access octadecyl/phenyl-mixed-functionalized magnetic silica nanoparticles (BSA-C18/Ph-Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs) as sorbent was developed for the extraction of venlafaxine, paroxetine, fluoxetine, norfluoxetine, sertraline and diphenhydramine from the muscle extracts of aquatic products followed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) detection. The homemade sorbent showed appropriate compatibility in aqueous solution and good performance in reducing matrix interference of snakehead muscle tissue extracts with absolute matrix effect ranging in 95.4%-105.5%. The protocol was validated in analyte-free snakehead muscle with favorable recoveries ranging in 91.6%-103.6% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 9.5%. Limits of detection (LODs) of the drugs were lower than 0.018 μg kg-1. Short-term drug-exposure experiments at low and high doses were conducted on snakeheads, and the measured contents of analytes were in the range 0.029-9.58 μg kg-1 with appropriate recoveries (90.0%-114.0%). The approach was extensively applied for the analysis of twelve species of market-sale aquatic products (total 37 samples), and up to 1.868 and 0.521 μg kg-1 of diphenhydramine and venlafaxine were measured, respectively. The approach shows remarkable potential in biological complex samples.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2020; 191:110152. [PMID: 32877707 PMCID: PMC7456450 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Nowadays the occurrence and associated risks of Pharmaceutical Active Compounds (PhACs) in the aquatic environment comprises a major issue. In the present study, a comprehensive survey on contamination profiles, occurrence, removals, temporal variation and ecological risk of multiclass multiresidue PhACs, such as antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, lipid regulators and phsychiatrics, (including past and newly monitored PhACs as well as some of their metabolites) was performed in wastewaters from the WWTP of Ioannina University hospital along one year period on a monthly sampling basis. WWTP influent and effluent samples were analyzed for physicochemical quality parameters and PhACs concentration levels using Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Orbitrap-Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS), after Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) through Oasis HLB cartridges. Influent concentrations ranged between < LOQ (Limit of Quantification) for diclofenac and tolfenamic acid and 48586 ng/L for caffeine, while effluent concentrations between < LOQ for tolfenamic acid and simvastatin and 3361 ng/L for caffeine. Removal efficiencies ranged between -132.6% for venlafaxine and 100% for caffeine. Environmental risk assessment by means of Risk Quotient (RQ) for maximum and minimum concentration levels as well as optimized by the frequency of exceeding toxicity threshold values, RQf, was applied revealing that up to 12 PhACs posed acute toxicity (clofibric acid, fenofibrate, sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, amitryptiline, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, norfluoxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, caffeine) while up to 4 compounds exerted long-term toxicity (sulfamethoxazole, fluoxetine, sertraline, caffeine) at least for one of the studied organisms. Furthermore, mixture RQMEC/PNEC and RQSTU effect of multiple compounds showed high potential risks of the target groups in some cases, although some contaminants were not included due to lack of available data. Results can be used to prioritization of PhACs and their metabolites for surveillance in receiving water bodies as well as development of knowledge on toxicity and mechanism(s) of action.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella spp. in the environment is of great public health interest, worldwide. Furthermore, its extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains constitute an emerging global health concern due to their limited treatment options in hospital. Therefore, this study aimed at characterising and tracking nonresistant and ESBL-producing Salmonella spp. from agricultural settings to nearby water sources highlighting their antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) and virulence factor (VF) distribution using a combination of both culture-dependent and independent methods. Furthermore, this study investigated the diversity and shared serovars among sampled matrices using amplicon sequencing of the invasion gene A (invA) of Salmonella spp. The results showed that soil had the highest prevalence of Salmonella spp. (62.5%, 65/104) and ESBL-producing Salmonella (34.6%, 36/104). For typed ARG, the most commonly detected gene was blaOXA with 75% (30/40), followed by blaCTX-M 67.5% (27/40),blaTEM 40% (16/40) and sul1 30% (12/40) gene; blaSHV gene was not detected in isolated ESBL-producing Salmonella spp. For VF, the most detected gene was invA (96.9%, 38/40), followed by spaM (17.5%, 7/40), spiC (40%, 16/40), orfL (32.5%, 13/40), misL 32.5% (13/40) and pipD 32.5 (13/40). For diversity analysis, soil, manure, irrigation water and nearby freshwater revealed 81, 68, 12 and 9 serovars, respectively. Soil, manure, irrigation water and freshwater stream samples shared five serovars, which indicated circulation of ESBL-producing Salmonella spp. within the agricultural environment and nearby water sources. Soil is therefore identified as one of the major reservoirs of ESBL-producing Salmonella spp. It is concluded that agricultural environment contamination may have a direct relationship with the presence of antibiotic-producing Salmonella in freshwater streams.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are abundantly used by people, and some of them are excreted unaltered or as metabolites through urine, with the sewage being the most important source to their release to the environment. These compounds are in almost all types of water (wastewater, surface water, groundwater, etc.) at concentrations ranging from ng/L to µg/L. The isolation and concentration of the PPCPs from water achieves the appropriate sensitivity. This step is mostly based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) but also includes other approaches (dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), buckypaper, SPE using multicartridges, etc.). In this review article, we aim to discuss the procedures employed to extract PPCPs from any type of water sample prior to their determination via an instrumental analytical technique. Furthermore, we put forward not only the merits of the different methods available but also a number of inconsistencies, divergences, weaknesses and disadvantages of the procedures found in literature, as well as the systems proposed to overcome them and to improve the methodology. Environmental applications of the developed techniques are also discussed. The pressing need for new analytical innovations, emerging trends and future prospects was also considered.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in the treatment of human and veterinary diseases and are being used worldwide in the agriculture industry to promote livestock growth. However, a variety of antibiotics that are found in aquatic environments are toxic to aquatic organisms. Antibiotics are not completely removed by wastewater treatment plants and are therefore released into aquatic environments, which raises concern about the destruction of the ecosystem owing to their non-target effects. Since antibiotics are designed to be persistent and work steadily in the body, their chronic toxicity effects have been studied in aquatic microorganisms. However, research on the toxicity of antibiotics in fish at the top of the aquatic food chain is relatively poor. This paper summarizes the current understanding of the reported toxicity studies with antibiotics in fish, including zebrafish, to date. Four antibiotic types; quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and macrolides, which are thought to be genetically toxic to fish have been reported to bioaccumulate in fish tissues, as well as in aquatic environments such as rivers and surface water. The adverse effects of these antibiotics are known to cause damage to developmental, cardiovascular, and metabolic systems, as well as in altering anti-oxidant and immune responses, in fish. Therefore, there are serious concerns about the toxicity of antibiotics in fish and further research and strategies are needed to prevent them in different regions of the world.

Abstract
In this study, the occurrences of 110 micropollutants in the surface waters and sediments collected at eight sampling sites along the middle reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River were investigated in winter. A total of 47 and 45 micropollutants were detected in at least one water or sediment sample, respectively, and their total concentrations reached 790.2 ng/L and 186.5 ng/g on a dry weight basis, respectively. Their composition profiles demonstrated that the majority of micropollutants were polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and UV filters. The mixture risk quotient (MRQ) values of the detected micropollutants regularly exceeded 1 for aquatic organisms at all sampling sites, and fish and invertebrates are the more sensitive organisms. The diversity and evenness of the zooplankton levels had a clear negative correlation with the micropollutant occurrences in water. The top 10 mixture components belonging to the UV filter and PAH categories explained more than 80% and 95% of the mixture risk for chronic and acute toxicology, respectively. This study is the first investigation of the presence and risk assessment of 110 micropollutants in the Yarlung Tsangpo River Basin and offers new insights into the ecological security of the water resources of the Tibetan Plateau.

Abstract
Occurrence, distribution, and ecological risk of 21 pharmaceuticals in the Jilin Songhua River were investigated during its freeze-thaw periods, including ice formation, sealed, and breakup. Florfenicol was the most abundant pharmaceutical, with mean concentrations of 123.4 ± 61.1 ng L-1 in water and 73.8 ± 66.3 ng kg-1 in ice. Sulfadiazine occurred at a higher mean concentration in downstream areas (45.6 ± 7.4 ng L-1) than in upstream areas (0.7 ± 0.7 ng L-1). Most pharmaceuticals appeared in relatively high concentrations in water during the ice-breakup period. Complex factors including pharmaceutical usage patterns, ice-regulated photodegradation, biodegradation, water flow, and freeze-concentration effects, as well as the release of pharmaceuticals from ice, were responsible for the temporal variation of pharmaceuticals. Pseudo-ice/water distribution coefficients showed the distribution of pharmaceuticals in ice and demonstrated the effects of their release from the ice on their temporal variations. Most pharmaceuticals posed a risk to algae; of these, amoxicillin exhibited the highest risk. In addition, thawing increased the concentration of thiamphenicol in water, which elevated its ecological risk level. The findings suggest that the pharmaceuticals retained in ice should be considered with regard to regulating pharmaceuticals' temporal variations in seasonal ice-covered rivers during the freeze-thaw process.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are known as an emerging class of water contaminants due to their potential adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we conducted the first nationwide survey to understand the distribution and environmental risk of 72 PPCPs in surface waterways of Sri Lanka. Forty-one out of 72 targeted compounds were detected with total concentrations ranging between 5.49 and 993 ng/L in surface waterways in Sri Lanka. The highest level of PPCP contamination was detected in an ornamental fish farm. Sulfamethoxazole was found with the highest concentration (934 ng/L) followed by N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (202 ng/L) and clarithromycin (119 ng/L). Diclofenac, mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, trimethoprim, and erythromycin were detected ubiquitously throughout the country. Our data revealed that hospital and domestic wastewater, and aquaculture activities potentially contribute to the presence of PPCPs in Sri Lankan waterways. The calculated risk quotients indicated that several locations face medium to high ecological risk to aquatic organisms from ibuprofen, sulfamethoxazole, diclofenac, mefenamic acid, tramadol, clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, triclocarban, and triclosan. The aforementioned compounds could affect aquatic organisms from different trophic levels like algae, crustacean and fish, and also influence the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. These findings emphasize that a wide variety of pharmaceuticals have become pervasive environmental contaminants in the country. This data will serve to expand the inventory of global PPCP pollution. Further monitoring of PPCPs is needed in Sri Lanka in order to identify PPCP point sources and to implement strategies for contaminant reduction in wastewater to protect the aquatic ecosystem, wildlife, and human health.

Occurrence, Distribution and Ecological Risk of Bisphenol Analogues in the Surface Water from a Water Diversion Project in Nanjing, China. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16183296.

Abstract
Due to the widespread use of bisphenol analogues (BPs) as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA), considerable attention for health risk has been shown in aquatic ecosystems. The occurrence and distribution of six BPs were researched in a soluble phase (<10-3 μm), colloidal phase (10-3 μm to 1 µm), and suspended particulate matter (SPM >1 µm) in a water diversion project of Nanjing, China. Except for bisphenol Z, all BPs were detected in two or three phases, where the total concentrations of detected BPs were 161-613 ng/L, 5.19-77.2 ng/L, and 47.5-353 ng/g for the soluble phase, colloidal phase, and SPM, respectively. Among the detected compounds, BPA is still the dominant BPs in the soluble and colloidal phases, which is followed by bisphenol-S , while bisphenol-AF was the major contaminant in SPM, followed by BPA. The mean contribution proportions of colloids were 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than SPM, which suggests that colloids have a clear impact on regulating BPs' environmental behaviors. In terms of spatial distribution, the water diversion project could reduce the pollution levels of BPs, which might further affect the ecological security of the Yangtze River.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 673:699-707. [PMID: 31003097 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.04.142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2018] [Revised: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 04/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Owing to the widespread use of bisphenol analogues (BPs) as substitutes for bisphenol A (BPA), the presence of BPs in multiple environments is of increasing concern. However, there is a limited understanding of the effects of colloids on the distribution and risk assessment of BPs traditionally dissolved in surface water. In this study, seven BPs were investigated in both the truly dissolved (<5 kDa) and colloidal (5 kDa to 1 μm) phases with water, with mean concentrations in the range of 71.6-671 ng/L and 5.84-76.6 ng/L, respectively. BPA and bisphenol S (BPS) were the dominant BPs in both phases, but a clear positive correlation was found between the adsorption contribution proportions of colloids to BPs and their hydrophobicity (octanol-water partition coefficient). The colloids contributed 50.4% of bisphenol AF, 33.4% of tetrabromobisphenol A, 25.2% of bisphenol F, 10.9% of BPA and 9.50% of BPS in the traditionally dissolved phase (<1 μm), which suggests that colloids play an important role in regulating the transformation and transportation of BPs in aquatic environments. Based on BP concentrations in the truly dissolved phase, only moderate risk levels for BPs towards algae, daphnia and fish were posed, and no oestrogenic risk existed in the study area.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and environment estrogens, as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), have been widely detected in aquatic environments around the world. However, surveys of seasonal freeze-thaw rivers with special hydrological features are limited. To address this, in this study the occurrence, distribution, ecological risk, and mass flux of 22 CECs in the Jilin Songhua River in northeast China, a famously seasonal freeze-thaw river at mid- and high-latitude regions, were investigated during its spring flood period. The results indicate that estriol had a maximum concentration of 27.4 ng·L-1 in the mainstream river water. Doxycycline had a maximum concentration of 204.4 ng·L-1 in the tributary river water and 103.0 ng·L-1 in the riverine wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents. The mean concentrations of the targeted CECs in the spring flood were 1.4 times higher than those found in our previous investigation during the summer flood. A risk assessment showed that estrone posed a high risk in the mainstream, doxycycline posed a high risk in the tributaries, and ofloxacin posed a high risk in the riverine WWTP effluents. In addition, erythromycin and lincomycin posed a medium to high risk in the river water and WWTP effluents. The major contribution of the CECs in the mainstream came from its tributaries, which contributed a total of >50% in the spring flood period. The results suggest that some appropriate measures should be taken to reduce the contribution of the CECs from the tributaries to the seasonal freeze-thaw river in its spring flood period.

Abstract
This study investigates the efficacy of the system O3/sunlight radiation compared to dark ozonation when treating pharmaceuticals compounds of different reactivity, namely bezafibrate, cotinine, and iopamidol. Results show the beneficial effects of simulated sunlight radiation (300-800 nm) when treating ozone recalcitrant compounds such as cotinine and iopamidol. The system O3/sunlight radiation increased mineralization extent in all cases if compared to dark ozonation. Transformation products identified in individual runs suggest that amine oxidation and further alkyl chain attack is the main route of bezafibrate ozonation. Hydroxylation seems to be the preferential path in cotinine abatement while H abstraction from alcoholic moieties is suggested in the case of iopamidol. Toxicity of intermediates was approximately evaluated by QSAR methodologies and experimentally through Daphnia Magna survival after 24 h. As a rule of thumb, initial intermediates generated are even more toxic than parent compounds, however, after 120 min of treatment, toxicity significantly decreased. Amongst the most toxic compounds generated: 4-Chlorobenzoyltyramine, and 4-Chloro-N-[2-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-benzamide (from bezafibrate), and N-(2-Hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-ethyl)-N'-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-oxo-ethyl)-5-(2-hydroxy-propionylamino)-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalamide, N,N'-Bis-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-oxo-ethyl)-5-(2-hydroxy-propionylamino)-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalamide, and N-(1-Hydroxymethyl-2-oxo-ethyl)-5-(2-hydroxy-propionylamino)-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalamide (from iopamidol) were identified.

Effects of a common pharmaceutical, atorvastatin, on energy metabolism and detoxification mechanisms of a marine bivalve Mytilus edulis. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2019; 208:47-61.

Abstract
Biologically active compounds from pharmaceuticals cause concern due to their common occurrence in water and sediments of urbanized coasts and potential threat to marine organisms. Atorvastatin (ATO), a globally prescribed drug, is environmentally stable and bioavailable to marine organisms; however, the physiological and toxic effects of this drug on ecologically important coastal species are yet to be elucidated. We studied the effect of ATO (˜1.2 μg L-1) on bioenergetics (including whole-organism and mitochondrial respiration, as well as tissue energy reserves and mRNA expression of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid metabolism in the gills and the digestive gland) of a keystone bivalve Mytulis edulis (the blue mussel) from the Baltic Sea. Xenobiotic detoxification systems including activity and mRNA expression of P-glycoprotein, and Phase I and II biotransformation enzymes (cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP1A and glutathione transferase, GST) were also assessed in the gill and digestive gland of the mussels. Exposure to ATO caused rapid uptake and biotransformation of the drug by the mussels. Standard metabolic rate of ATO-exposed mussels increased by 56% indicating higher maintenance costs, yet no changes were detected in the respiratory capacity of isolated mitochondria. ATO exposure led to ˜60% decrease in the lysosomal membrane stability of hemocytes and ˜3-fold decrease in the whole-organism P-glycoprotein-driven and diffusional efflux of xenobiotics indicating altered membrane properties. The digestive gland was a major target of ATO toxicity in the mussels. Exposure of mussels to ATO led to depletion of lipid, carbohydrate and protein pools, and suppressed transcription of key enzymes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha PGC-1α) and fatty acid metabolism (acetyl-CoA carboxylase and CYP4Y1) in the digestive gland. No bioenergetic disturbances were observed in the gills of ATO-exposed mussels, and elevated GST activity indicated enhanced ATO detoxification in this tissue. These data demonstrate that ATO can act as a metabolic disruptor and chemosensitizer in keystone marine bivalves and warrant further investigations of statins as emerging pollutants of concern in coastal marine ecosystems.

Abstract
Although sulfadiazine (SDZ) is widespread in aquatic environments, information regarding the effects of SDZ on aquatic insects is still limited. In the present study, the bioconcentration and the effects of SDZ on the antioxidant system and the expression of endocrine and stress-related genes in Chironomus riparius larvae were investigated. The larvae were exposed to SDZ at the nominal concentrations of 2, 20 and 200 μg/L for 48 h. The results showed that SDZ was taken up by C. riparius despite presenting low bioconcentration factor values (0.99-3.92). In addition, superoxide dismutase activity was markedly reduced compared with the control group, whereas the levels of malondialdehyde were not significantly affected by SDZ. Moreover, the mRNA expression of genes related to heat shock proteins (Hsp70 and Hsp27) and ecdysone pathway (EcR and E74) were significantly up-regulated following all SDZ treatments. In aggregate, our work provides novel and interesting results regarding the potential biochemical and genetic effects of SDZ on freshwater insects.

Abstract
The antibiotic tetracycline (TC) is widespread in surface waters, but few data are available regarding its adverse effects on aquatic insects. In this study, we investigated the bioconcentration, metabolism, and effects of TC on Chironomus riparius larvae exposed to different concentrations of TC (1.83, 18.5 and 174 μg L-1) for 48 h. The bioconcentration factors were 3.65, 0.74 and 0.23 in larvae with exposure to 1.83, 18.5 and 174 μg L-1 TC, respectively. High concentration ratios of the metabolites anhydrotetracycline (0.56-0.60), 4-epitetracycline (0.43-0.69), and 4-epianhydrotetracycline (0.50-0.55) to the unmetabolized compound were found. Additionally, the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione S-transferase were markedly inhibited with a significant increase in malondialdehyde contents at high exposure concentrations of TC (18.5 and 174 μg L-1). Moreover, significant up-regulation of heat shock genes (hsp70 and hsp27), the ecdysone receptor gene, and the E74 early ecdysone responsive gene was observed at all exposure concentrations except for hsp70 at 1.83 μg L-1. Collectively, these results suggested that TC was quickly absorbed and metabolized by C. riparius and resulted in molecular and biochemical disturbances.

Abstract
The influence of suspended sediment (SPS) characteristics on the bioavailability of the antidepressant citalopram (CIT) was investigated in the cladoceran Daphnia magna. The bioaccumulation, swimming behaviours, psychological indices, and oxidative stress were examined. The CIT bioaccumulation were altered in the presence of SPS, such that the body burden of CIT decreased as the concentration of SPS increased and as the organic carbon content of SPS (foc) increased; moreover, the body burden of CIT increased as SPS particle size increased. All the biomarker activities of D. magna were markedly induced at a CIT exposure concentration of 10 μg/L. However, the biological effects of CIT did not depend on the body burden of CIT as SPS concentration increased, while the swimming activities and oxidative stress were significantly enhanced by SPS concentration at 1 g/L. The influences of SPS particle size and foc on the activities of swimming and physiological indicators were mainly associated with the CIT bioaccumulation, while foc in SPS was more substantial than particle size. In addition, the antioxidant activities decreased as foc increased and were significantly strengthened at particle sizes of 30-60 μm. The impacts of different SPS characteristics on the adsorption and desorption capacity of CIT and the ingestion habits of D. magna were the main reasons for the variations in CIT body burden and biological effects. According to the results obtained in this study, the SPS characteristics should be considered in the risk assessment of contaminants in natural aquatic environments.
