Abstract
Photosymbiosis indicates a long-term association between animals and photosynthetic organisms. It has been mainly investigated in photosymbiotic cnidarians, while other photosymbiotic associations have been largely neglected. The acoel Symsagittifera roscoffensis lives in obligatory symbiosis with the microalgal Tetraselmis convolutae and has recently emerged as alternative model to study photosymbiosis. Here, we investigated the effects of Bisphenol A, a common plastic additive, on two pivotal stages of its lifecycle: aposymbiotic juvenile development and photosymbiogenesis. Based on our results, this pollutant altered the development of the worms and their capacity to engulf algae from the environment at concentrations higher than the levels detected in seawater, yet aligning with those documented in sediments of populated areas. Data provide novel information about the effects of pollutants on photosymbiotic associations and prompt the necessity to monitor their concentrations in marine environmental matrices.

Abstract
Bisphenol A alternatives are manufactured as potentially less harmful substitutes of bisphenol A (BPA) that offer similar functionality. These alternatives are already in the market, entering the environment and thus raising ecological concerns. However, it can be expected that levels of BPA alternatives will dominate in the future, they are limited information on their environmental safety. The EU PARC project highlights BPA alternatives as priority chemicals and consolidates information on BPA alternatives, with a focus on environmental relevance and on the identification of the research gaps. The review highlighted aspects and future perspectives. In brief, an extension of environmental monitoring is crucial, extending it to cover BPA alternatives to track their levels and facilitate the timely implementation of mitigation measures. The biological activity has been studied for BPA alternatives, but in a non-systematic way and prioritized a limited number of chemicals. For several BPA alternatives, the data has already provided substantial evidence regarding their potential harm to the environment. We stress the importance of conducting more comprehensive assessments that go beyond the traditional reproductive studies and focus on overlooked relevant endpoints. Future research should also consider mixture effects, realistic environmental concentrations, and the long-term consequences on biota and ecosystems.

Abstract
Cagarras Islands Archipelago, a no-take MPA in Southeast Brazil, was designated as Natural Monument (MONA Cagarras) and, more recently, recognized as Hope Spot for biodiversity conservation. This study aimed to assess plastic contamination by analyzing marine litter and microplastics in MONA Cagarras and surrounding waters. Marine litter (34.12 kg) was caught by artisanal fishermen in MONA Cagarras proximities, and plastics represented ∼79 %. Personal hygiene items and strains of hair were found, suggesting sewage-derived contamination from Ipanema SSO. Microplastics were detected in MONA Cagarras surface waters. Fragments and black particle were the most frequently found microplastic shape and color, respectively. μ-FTIR analysis identified, in descending order of occurrence, polystyrene-PS, polyethylene-PE, polyvinyl chloride-PVC, polypropylene-P, and polyamide-PA. Our integrated results of macro and microplastic contamination highlight an issue of effective conservation and health of marine biodiversity in MONA Cagarras and surrounding waters and a concern for better management of Brazilian MPAs.

TOXICS 2024; 12:379. [PMID: 38922059 PMCID: PMC11209086 DOI: 10.3390/toxics12060379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
Electronic waste (e-waste) dismantling facilities are well-known bisphenol chemical (BP) sources. In this study, non-targeted screening combined with targeted analysis of BPs in surface soil from e-waste dismantling facilities and their surroundings revealed their presence, distribution, and exposure risk. A total of 14 BPs were identified including bisphenol A (BPA) and its novel structural analogs and halogenated BPs. The total concentrations of BPs ranged from 963 to 47,160 ng/g (median: 6970 ng/g) in e-waste soil, higher than those measured in surface soil from surrounding areas, i.e., 10-7750 ng/g (median 197 ng/g). BPA, tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and bisphenol F (BPF) were the dominant ones from the two areas. Concentrations of TBBPA and its debromination product from the surrounding area significantly decreased with increasing distances from the e-waste dismantling facilities. Estimation of daily intake via oral ingestion of soil suggests that current contamination scenarios are unlikely to pose health risks for e-waste dismantling workers and adults and toddlers living in the surrounding areas, with their intakes generally well below the tolerable daily intakes proposed for several BPs. However, the BPA intakes of workers exceeded the more strict tolerable daily intake for BPA established recently, which merits continuous environmental surveillance.

Acute toxicity of binary mixtures for quorum sensing inhibitors and sulfonamides against Aliivibrio fischeri: QSAR investigations and joint toxic actions. Curr Res Toxicol 2024; 6:100172. [PMID: 38803613 PMCID: PMC11128832 DOI: 10.1016/j.crtox.2024.100172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs), as a kind of ideal antibiotic substitutes, have been recommended to be used in combination with traditional antibiotics in medical and aquaculture fields. Due to the co-existence of QSIs and antibiotics in environmental media, it is necessary to evaluate their joint risk. However, there is little information about the acute toxicity of mixtures for QSIs and antibiotics. In this study, 10 QSIs and 3 sulfonamides (SAs, as the representatives for traditional antibiotics) were selected as the test chemicals, and their acute toxic effects were determined using the bioluminescence of Aliivibrio fischeri (A. fischeri) as the endpoint. The results indicated that SAs and QSIs all induced S-shaped dose-responses in A. fischeri bioluminescence. Furthermore, SAs possessed greater acute toxicity than QSIs, and luciferase (Luc) might be the target protein of test chemicals. Based on the median effective concentration (EC50) for each test chemical, QSI-SA mixtures were designed according to equitoxic (EC50(QSI):EC50(SA) = 1:1) and non-equitoxic ratios (EC50(QSI):EC50(SA) = 1:10, 1:5, 1:0.2, and 1:0.1). It could be observed that with the increase of QSI proportion, the acute toxicity of QSI-SA mixtures enhanced while the corresponding TU values decreased. Furthermore, QSIs contributed more to the acute toxicity of test binary mixtures. The joint toxic actions of QSIs and SAs were synergism for 23 mixtures, antagonism for 12 mixtures, and addition for 1 mixture. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models for the acute toxicity QSIs, SAs, and their binary mixtures were then constructed based on the lowest CDOCKER interaction energy (Ebind-Luc) between Luc and each chemical and the component proportion in the mixture. These models exhibited good robustness and predictive ability in evaluating the toxicity data and joint toxic actions of QSIs and SAs. This study provides reference data and applicable QSAR models for the environmental risk assessment of QSIs, and gives a new perspective for exploring the joint effects of QSI-antibiotic mixtures.

Abstract
Danube sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) which is identified as endangered species can be exposed to pollutants such as bisphenol A (BPA) that have a disruptive effect on the endocrine system at any time. Starting from this motivation, the current study focused on BPA toxicity in A. gueldenstaedtii juvenile individuals and its adverse effects in sub-lethal concentration. The median lethal concentration (LC50) of BPA was 5.03 mg/L in 96th hour. In the chronic period, 0.625 mg/L and 1.25 mg/L BPA concentrations were evaluated based on the result of acute study. Accordingly, growth performance was significantly decreased in BPA groups (1.25 mg/L BPA group was significantly lowest) compared to control (p < 0.05). In the acute period, behavioral disorders were standing at the bottom/corner of tank, slowing and stopping of gill movement, decreased response to stimuli, and death, respectively. While vacuolization was severe in the liver tissue of the fish in the acute period, intense necrosis and melanomacrophage centers were observed in the chronic period. In terms of genotoxicity, longer DNA migration was observed in all groups exposed to BPA than in the control group. In addition, lower erythrocyte and hemoglobin were observed in the BPA groups compared to control. As a result, the current study revealed toxic effect of BPA on A. gueldenstaedtii juvenile individuals and its negative results on fish physiology.

Abstract
Plastic debris is a significant and rapidly developing ecological issue in coastal marine ecosystems, especially in areas where it accumulates. This study introduces "plasticlusters", a new form of floating debris agglomeration found in the Yasmine Hammamet marina (Tunisia, North-Africa), loosely attached to pontoon ropes around the water surface level. The analysis of two samples revealed that they were formed primarily by average 2.11 mm polystyrene fragments, 3.43 mm fibers, 104 mm polypropylene and polyethylene sheets, and 122 mm decomposing seagrass leaves. They were inhabited by several taxa, including at least 2 cryptogenic and 5 non-indigenous species (NIS). Unlike other plastic formations, plasticlusters provide a novel and potentially temporal microhabitat to fouling assemblages due to their loose and unconsolidated structure which, combined with marinas being NIS hubs, could enhance NIS dispersion. The results of this study raise concerns about the combined ecological effects of debris accumulation and biocontamination inside marinas.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 920:170964. [PMID: 38369146 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170964] [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: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
Bisphenol analogues (BPs), as one of the endocrine disruptors, have received wide attention due to their adverse impacts on ecosystems. However, the seasonal spatiotemporal distribution, source apportionment, and ecological risk of BPs in natural basins are poorly understood. Especially in highly urbanized river basins with the extensive economic development and anthropogenic activities threaten these critical but ecologically fragile regions. In this study, field investigations of BPs in the waters of the entire Qinhuai River Basin (QRB) were conducted in June (before the annual flood period) and August (after the annual flood period) 2023. The Qinhuai River, an important primary tributary of the lower Yangtze River, is located in eastern China and the QRB is characterized by a high population density and dense urbanization. Thirty-two sites were sampled for six types of BPs known to be ubiquitous in the surface water of the QRB. Significant differences in the concentrations of those BPs were found. Specifically, the concentration of total BPs (ΣBPs) was significantly higher before than after the flood period: 20.3-472 ng/L (mean = 146 ng/L) and 14.1-105 ng/L (mean = 35.9 ng/L), respectively. BPA was the main contributor to ΣBPs before the flood, and BPB followed by BPA after the flood. ΣBP concentrations were 12-241 % higher downstream than upstream of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The results of a principal component analysis followed by multiple linear regression (PCA-MLR) suggested that untreated wastewater discharge from the WWTPs is an important source of BPs in the basin, with urban rainfall runoff as another potential source after the flood period. An assessment of the ecological risk of BPs, based on a calculation of the risk quotient, showed that BPA and BPS should be given due attention, and overall ecological risk of BPs pose a low risk to local algae but high and medium risks to invertebrates and fish, respectively.

Abstract
The release of organic contaminants has grown to be a major environmental concern and a threat to the ecology of water bodies. Persulfate-based Advanced Oxidation Technology (PAOT) is effective at eliminating hazardous pollutants and has an extensive spectrum of applications. Iron-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) and their derivatives have exhibited great advantages in activating persulfate for wastewater treatment. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of recent research progress on the significant potential of Fe-MOFs for removing antibiotics, organic dyes, phenols, and other contaminants from aqueous environments. Firstly, multiple approaches for preparing Fe-MOFs, including the MIL and ZIF series were introduced. Subsequently, removal performance of pollutants such as antibiotics of sulfonamides and tetracyclines (TC), organic dyes of rhodamine B (RhB) and acid orange 7 (AO7), phenols of phenol and bisphenol A (BPA) by various Fe-MOFs was compared. Finally, different degradation mechanisms, encompassing free radical degradation pathways and non-free radical degradation pathways were elucidated. This review explores the synthesis methods of Fe-MOFs and their application in removing organic pollutants from water bodies, providing insights for further refining the preparation of Fe-MOFs.

Abstract
Plastic leachates have chemical and biological implications for marine environments. This study experimentally evaluated acute effects of weathering plastic leachates (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 %) on fertilization and early development of the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus. Fertilization, embryonic and larval development were drastically inhibited (~75 %) when gametes were exposed to intermediate and high leachate concentrations or delayed when exposed to the lowest concentration. Fertilization and first cleavage stages were highly affected by exposure to intermediate and high leachate concentrations. None of the cells incubated at concentrations from 50 % reached blastula stage, suggesting that embryonic development was the most sensitive stage. Abnormalities in embryos and larvae were observed in all leachate treatments. Chemical analysis detected high concentration of bisphenol A, which may induce these observed effects. Our results highlight the potential threats of plastic pollution to sea urchin populations, which may severely affect the structure and functioning of coastal ecosystems.

Abstract
Pesticides are ubiquitous in the catchments of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and regularly discharge into the nearshore waters. Effective management of pesticides requires suitable water quality guideline values (WQGVs), and further ecotoxicological data for many pesticides are needed to improve the reliability of environmental risk assessments. To help address this issue, toxicity thresholds were determined to two species of tropical marine microalgae Tisochrysis lutea and Tetraselmis sp. for a suite of herbicides detected in the GBR. Photosystem II (PSII) herbicides significantly reduced growth with no effect concentration (NEC) and 10% effect concentration (EC10) values spanning two orders of magnitude from 0.60 µg L-1 for diuron to 60 µg L-1 for simazine across both species. However, growth was insensitive to the non-PSII herbicides. The NEC/EC10 thresholds for most herbicide-microalgae combinations were greater than recent WQGVs intended to protect 99% of species (PC99); however, metribuzin was toxic to T. lutea at concentrations lower than the current PC99 value, which may have to be revisited. The toxicity thresholds for alternative herbicides derived here further inform the development of national and GBR-specific WQGVs, but more toxicity data is needed to develop WQGVs for the > 50 additional pesticides detected in catchments of the GBR.

Exposure to bisphenol A and fiber-type microplastics induce oxidative stress and cell damage in disk abalone Haliotis discus hannai: Bioaccumulation and toxicity. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 144:109277.

Abstract
Along with environmental pollution caused by rapid economic development and industrialization, plastic waste is emerging as a global concern in relation to marine ecosystems and human health. Among the microplastics, fiber-type microfibers (MF) and bisphenol A (BPA), which are widely used as plasticizers, do not decompose well in the ocean, and tend to accumulate in organisms, generating an increased oxidative stress response. This study investigated the abalones' antioxidant and cell death responses following exposure to the environmental pollutants MF and BPA. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and DNA damage increased over time, demonstrating the degree of lipid peroxidation and DNA damage in abalones exposed to individual and combined environmental conditions of MF and BPA. Compared to the single MF and BPA exposure groups, the combined exposure group showed a higher expression of antioxidant enzymes. A similar pattern was seen in the expression of the apoptosis enzyme caspase-3. Both MF and BPA caused oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes were expressed to alleviate it, but it is believed that cell damage occurred because the stress level exceeded the allowed range.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 21:44. [PMID: 38248509 PMCID: PMC10815431 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph21010044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Microplastic contamination is a global concern due to its conspicuous presence in aquatic ecosystems and its toxic nature to environmental and human health. False mussels are among the most notable fresh- and brackish water invaders. The invasive Mytilopsis leucophaeata in Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon-RFL (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is the most abundant macrofaunal invertebrate, widely established and distributed throughout the lagoon. This study aimed to assess microplastic contamination in this invasive filter feeder and evaluate its potential use as a bioindicator. Agglomerates (~100 mussels) were manually collected using a stainless-steel spatula in ten sampling areas distributed throughout the whole lagoon and kept frozen. In the laboratory, 60 individuals were sorted by area for soft-tissue digestion. Each pool of 10 soft-tissue mussels (n = 6 by area) was wet-weighted and then placed in a 150-mL decontaminated glass beaker with 50 mL of 10% KOH. Samples were heated (40 °C) for 48 h, and digested samples were filtered in glass-fiber membranes. Microplastics were found in all samples of mussels (n = 60) from RFL; the particles were mostly lower than 100 µm with a mean concentration (±SD) of 35.96 ± 47.64 MPs g wet-weight-1. Microplastics were distinguished in seven shapes with different occurrences in samples (%): fiber (43.3%); fragment (34.3%); film (16.3%); sponge/foam (4.9%); pellet (0.57%), rope/filaments (0.17%); and undefined (0.4%). Thirteen colors of microplastics were found, but transparent (54.94%), black (10.77%), and white (9.36%) were the most common. Mytilopsis leucophaeata were useful to assess microplastic contamination in RFL and might be preferentially used in other invaded brackish systems instead of native and often threatened bivalves. Our results confirm the effective application of bivalves as an indicator of coastal microplastic pollution.

Abstract
Simultaneously eliminating novel contaminants in the water environment while also achieving high-value utilization of CO2 poses a significant challenge in water purification. Herein, a CO2-reduced carbon catalyst (CRC) was synthesized via the chemical vapor deposition method for permanganate (PM) activation, fulfilling the ultra-efficient removal of bisphenol A (BPA). The primary mechanism responsible for the BPA degradation in the CRC/PM process is electron transfer. Hydroxyl groups and defect structures on CRC act as electron mediators, facilitating the transfer of electrons from contaminants to PM. On the basis of the quantitative structure-activity relationship, the elimination performance of the CRC/PM process exhibited variability in accordance with the inherent characteristics of pollutants. In addition, the yield of manganese intermediates was also observed in the CRC/PM process, which only serve as redox intermediates rather than active species attacking organics. Ascribed to nonradical mechanisms, the CRC/PM system exhibited remarkable stability and demonstrated significant resistance to the presence of background substances. Moreover, BPA degradation pathways were clarified via mass spectrometry analysis and density functional theory calculations, with intermediate products exhibiting lower toxicity. This study provided new insights into the employment of carbon catalysts derived from CO2 for PM nonradical activation to degrade contaminants in various water matrices.

Abstract
Bisphenol A analogs (BPA analogs) are emerging contaminants with a rising production caused by the replacement of BPA with these compounds. The increased production of BPA analogs is leading to their increased release into various ecosystems, including marine ones. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of BPA analogs on a primary producer, the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin. Three different BPA analogs (BPAF, BPF, and BPS) and their mixture were tested at the environmental relevant concentration of 300 ng/L. Growth, cell size and several biomarkers of oxidative stress and oxidative damage were measured. Our results indicated that the tested compounds caused a reduced growth rate and induced oxidative stress, altering many antioxidant enzymes in P. tricornutum. However, no oxidative damages were observed.

Abstract
To resourcefully utilize algal biomass and effectively remove bisphenol A (BPA) from water, sodium alginate (SA) was prepared as the nitrogen-doped magnetic porous carbon material (SAC/N/Fe) with well-developed pore structure according to a one-step method using K2CO3, melamine, Fe(NO3)3·9H2O as the activator, nitrogen dopant, and magnetic precursor, respectively, in this study. The best product, SAC/N/Fe-0.2, was obtained by adjusting the mass ratio of raw materials, and its specific surface area and pore volume were 2240.65 m2 g-1 and 1.44 cm3 g-1, respectively, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1248.23 mg g-1 for BPA at 308 K. SEM, XRD, XPS, VSM, and FT-IR characterization confirmed that the iron was successfully doped, giving the porous carbon a magnetic separation function. The adsorption process of BPA was more consistent with the Langmuir model and the proposed secondary kinetics, and the adsorption effect was stable and efficient in a wide pH range and under the interference of different metal ions. At the same time, the porous carbon was easy to separate and recover with good regeneration performance.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most potent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that adversely affect aquatic organisms. The present investigation explored the effects of exposure to BPA at 0.1 and 1 mgL-1 concentrations on the fecundity of Biomphalaria alexandrina, snail's infection with Schistosoma mansoni, and histology of the ovotestis and topographical structure of S. mansoni cercariae emerged from exposed snails. The 24 h LC50 and LC90 values of BPA against B. alexandrina were 8.31 and 10.88 mgL-1 BPA, respectively. The exposure of snails to 0.1 or 1 mgL-1 BPA did not affect the snail's survival. However, these concentrations caused an increase in the reproductive rate (Ro) of infected snails. A slight decrease in egg production was observed in snails exposed to 0.1 mgL-1 BPA after being infected (infected then exposed). However, a significant increase in egg production was noted in snails exposed to 1 mgL-1 BPA after infection with S. mansoni. Histopathological investigations indicated a clear alteration in the ovotestis tissue structure of exposed and infected-exposed groups compared to the control snails. Chronic exposure to BPA caused pathological alterations in the gametogenic cells. SEM preparations of S. mansoni cercariae emerged from infected-exposed snails showed obvious body malformations. From a public health perspective, BPA pollution may negatively impact schistosomiasis transmission, as indicated by the disturbance in cercarial production and morphology. However, it has adverse effects on the reproduction and architecture of reproductive organs of exposed snails, indicating that B. alexandrina snails are sensitive to sublethal BPA exposure.

Endocrine disrupting compounds are the chemicals which mimics the natural endocrine hormones and bind to the receptors made for the hormones. Upon binding they activate the cascade of reaction which leads to permanent activating of the signalling cycle and ultimately leads to uncontrolled growth. Pesticides are one of the endocrine disrupting chemicals which cause cancer, congenital birth defects, and reproductive defects in non-target organisms. Non-target organisms are keen on exposing to these pesticides. Although several studies have reported about the pesticide toxicity. But a critical analysis of pesticide toxicity and its role as endocrine disruptor is lacking. Therefore, the presented review literature is an endeavour to understand the role of the pesticides as endocrine disruptors. In addition, it discusses about the endocrine disruption, neurological disruption, genotoxicity, and ROS induced pesticide toxicity. Moreover, biochemical mechanisms of pesticide toxicity on non-target organisms have been presented. An insight on the chlorpyrifos toxicity on non-target organisms along with species names have been presented.

Abstract
The current industrial and human activities scenario has accelerated the widespread use of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), which can be found in everyday products, including plastic containers, bottles, toys, cosmetics, etc., but can pose a severe risk to human health and the environment. In this regard, fungal bioremediation appears as a green and cost-effective approach to removing pollutants from water resources. Besides, immobilizing fungal cells onto nanofibrous membranes appears as an innovative strategy to improve remediation performance by allowing the adsorption and degradation to occur simultaneously. Herein, we developed a novel nanostructured bioremediation platform based on polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membrane (PAN NFM) as supporting material for immobilizing an endophytic fungus to remove bisphenol A (BPA), a typical EDC. The endophytic strain was isolated from Handroanthus impetiginosus leaves and identified as Phanerochaete sp. H2 by molecular methods. The successful assembly of fungus onto the PAN NFM surface was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with free fungus cells, the PAN@H2 NFM displayed a high BPA removal efficiency (above 85%) at an initial concentration of 5 ppm, suggesting synergistic removal by simultaneous adsorption and biotransformation. Moreover, the biotransformation pathway was investigated, and the chemical structures of fungal metabolites of BPA were identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography - high-resolution mass (UHPLC-HRMS) analysis. In general, our results suggest that by combining the advantages of enzymatic activity and nanofibrous structure, the novel platform has the potential to be applied in the bioremediation of varied EDCs or even other pollutants found in water resources.

Abstract
A novel CeO2/Co3O4-Fe2O3@CC electrode derived from CeCo-MOFs was developed for detecting the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA). Firstly, bimetallic CeCo-MOFs were prepared by hydrothermal method, and obtained material was calcined to form metal oxides after doping Fe element. The results suggested that hydrophilic carbon cloth (CC) modified with CeO2/Co3O4-Fe2O3 had good conductivity and high electrocatalytic activity. By the analyses of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the introduction of Fe increased the current response and conductivity of the sensor, greatly increasing the effective active area of the electrode. Significantly, electrochemical test proves that the prepared CeO2/Co3O4-Fe2O3@CC had excellent electrochemical response to BPA with a low detection limit of 8.7 nM, an excellent sensitivity of 20.489 μA/μM·cm2, a linear range of 0.5-30 μM, and strong selectivity. In addition, the CeO2/Co3O4-Fe2O3@CC sensor had a high recovery rate for the detection of BPA in real tap water, lake water, soil eluent, seawater, and PET bottle samples, which showed its potential in practical applications. To sum up, the CeO2/Co3O4-Fe2O3@CC sensor prepared in this work had excellent sensing performance, good stability and selectivity for BPA, which can be well used for the detection of BPA.

Abstract
The sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, is a marine benthic organism that feeds on small benthic particulate matter and is easily affected by pollutants. Bisphenol A (BPA, 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol) has been identified as an endocrine disruptor. It is ubiquitously detectable in oceans and affects a variety of marine animals. It functions as an estrogen analog and typically causes reproductive toxicity by interfering with the endocrine system. To comparatively analyze the reproductive effects of estradiol (E2) and BPA on sea cucumbers, we identified a G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) in A. japonicus and investigated its effects on reproduction. The results showed that BPA and E2 exposure activated A. japonicus AjGPER1, thereby mediating the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. High-level expression of AjGPER1 in the ovarian tissue was confirmed by qPCR. Furthermore, metabolic changes were induced by 100 nM (22.83 μg/L) BPA exposure in the ovarian tissue, leading to a notable increase in the activities of trehalase and phosphofructokinase. Overall, our findings suggest that AjGPER1 is directly activated by BPA and affects sea cucumber reproduction by disrupting ovarian tissue metabolism, suggesting that marine pollutants pose a threat to the conservation of sea cucumber resources.

Abstract
Coastal and marine environments have been strongly influenced by anthropogenic activities, which may lead to high concentrations of different pollutants in sediments. Our study aimed to assess sediment contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalates (PAEs) and bisphenol A (BPA) in nine coastal and marine environments at Rio de Janeiro-Brazil. Physical and chemical water variables, grain-size parameters, moisture, and organic-matter content in sediments were assessed by sampling station. Multivariate analysis evidenced environmental differences between coastal lagoon and oceanic beaches, mostly influenced by marine waters. Differences among bay's beaches were mostly evidenced by sediment characteristics. PAHs and BPA were not detected in samples. For the first time, PAEs were found in sediments at Rio de Janeiro coast (South Atlantic). DEHP was detected in all coastal and marine environments, DBP was found in coastal lagoon and three marine environments. DnOP and DINP were solely found in the coastal lagoon.

Abstract
Microplastics are one of the major pollutants in aquatic environments. Among their components, Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most abundant and dangerous, leading to endocrine disorders deriving even in different types of cancer in mammals. However, despite this evidence, the xenobiotic effects of BPA over plantae and microalgae still need to be better understood at the molecular level. To fill this gap, we characterized the physiological and proteomic response of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii during long-term BPA exposure by analyzing physiological and biochemical parameters combined with proteomics. BPA imbalanced iron and redox homeostasis, disrupting cell function and triggering ferroptosis. Intriguingly, this microalgae defense against this pollutant is recovering at both molecular and physiological levels while starch accumulation at 72 h of BPA exposure. In this work, we addressed the molecular mechanisms involved in BPA exposure, demonstrating for the first time the induction of ferroptosis in a eukaryotic alga and how ROS detoxification mechanisms and other specific proteomic rearrangements reverted this situation. These results are of great significance not only for understanding the BPA toxicology or exploring the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in microalgae but also for defining novel target genes for microplastic bioremediation efficient strain development.

Abstract
A novel CuO-Fe3O4 encapsulated in the carbon framework with abundant oxygen vacancies (CuO-Fe3O4@C) was successfully prepared by thermal conversion of Cu(OAc)2/Fe-metal organic framework. The as-prepared catalyst exhibited excellent peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation performance, good recyclability and fast magnetic separation. Under optimal conditions, the added BPA (60 mg/L) could be completely removed by CuO-Fe3O4@C/PMS system within 15 min with the degradation rate constant (k) of 0.32 min-1, being 10.3 and 246.2 times that in CuO/PMS (0.031min-1) and Fe3O4/PMS (0.0013 min-1) system. A deep mineralization rate of BPA (>80%) was achieved within 60 min. The results demonstrated the synergistic effect of bimetallic clusters, oxygen vacancies and carbon framework was a key benefit for the exposure of more active sites, the electron donor capacity and the mass transfer of substrates, thereby promoting the decomposition of BPA. Capture experiments and EPR indicated that 1O2 was the predominant reactive oxygen species (ROSs). The degradation routes of BPA and the activation mechanism of PMS were proposed. This study offers an opportunity to develop promising MOFs-derived hybrid catalysts with tailored structures and properties for the practical application of SR-AOPs.

Abstract
Human activity has now introduced novel chemicals into most aquatic ecosystems. Endocrine-disrupting compounds originating from plastic pollution and manufacture can have pronounced biological effects by disrupting hormone-mediated processes. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most commonly produced endocrine-disrupting compounds, which interferes with signalling by a broad range of hormones. In recognition of its potentially harmful effects, BPA is being replaced by substitutes such as bisphenol S (BPS). However, toxicological studies revealed that BPS too can bind to hormone receptors and disrupt signalling, particularly of thyroid hormone. The aim of this study was to test whether BPS exposure impacts locomotor performance and muscle function in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Locomotor performance depends on thyroid hormone signalling, and it is closely related to fitness so that its disruption can have negative ecological and evolutionary consequences. BPS exposure of 15 μg l-1 [∼60 nM] and 30 μg l-1 (but not 60 μg l-1) decreased sustained swimming performance (Ucrit), but not sprint speed. In a fully factorial design, we show that living in flowing water increased Ucrit compared to a still water control, and that BPS reduced Ucrit under both conditions but did not eliminate the training effect. In a second factorial experiment, we show that BPS did not affect mitochondrial bioenergetics in skeletal muscle (state 3 and 4 rates, respiratory control ratios, ROS production), but that induced hypothyroidism decreased state 3 and 4 rates of respiration. However, both hypothyroidism and BPS exposure decreased activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK:total AMPK) but increased protein levels of myocyte enhancer factor 2, and slow and fast myosin heavy chains. Our data indicate that BPS is not a safe alternative for BPA and that exposure to BPS can have ecological consequences, which are likely to be at least partly mediated via thyroid hormone disruption.

Abstract
Environmental estrogens have generated great concern because of their potential threat to aquatic organisms; however, the commonly used vitellogenin (Vtg) biomarker detection methods are not capable of detecting estrogenic activity below 10 ng/L 17β-estradiol. In this study, we developed multiple immunoassays based on Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) choriogenin (Chg), a highly sensitive biomarker of environmental estrogens. Chg genes (ChgL and ChgH) of Japanese flounder were cloned for the first time, and a recombinant ChgL protein with a molecular weight of approximately 52 kDa was prepared using a prokaryotic expression system and purified using Ni-affinity column chromatography. Subsequently, specific monoclonal antibodies against ChgL were prepared and used to develop sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), which had a detection range of 3.9-250 ng/mL and detection limit of 1.9 ng/mL. An immunofluorescence method was also established and used to visually detect ChgL induction in the tissues. In addition, a lateral flow immunoassay for ChgL that could detect estrogen activity within 10 min was developed. Finally, the reliability of the immunoassays was examined by measuring ChgL induction in the plasma and tissues of Japanese flounder exposed to 0, 2, 10, and 50 ng/L 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2). The results showed that 2 ng/L EE2 notably increased ChgL levels in the plasma, demonstrating that ChgL is more sensitive than Vtg to environmental estrogens; 50 ng/L EE2 induced obvious Chg induction in the sinusoidal vessels of the liver. Conclusions taken together, this study provides reliable methods for sensitive and rapid detection of estrogenic activity in aquatic environments.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a toxic endocrine disruptor detected in various environments. Microbial metabolic/enzymatic degradation has been thought to be the main pathway for BPA attenuation in natural environments. In this study, we found that under visible light conditions, superoxide produced by bacteria was the main reason for the rapid removal of BPA, accounting for 57 % of the total removal rate. With visible light, the bacteria degraded BPA at a rate of 0.22 mg/L/d, and the total removal within 8 days reached 85 %, which is 4.7 times compared with that of dark culture. The intermediate product 4-iso-propenylphenol, which was considered as an end-product of microbial degradation of BPA in previous reports, was detected in large quantities at 24 h in culture but gradually decreased in our experiment. Community analysis suggested bacteria with aromatic hydrocarbon degradation ability were more enriched under light incubation. Moreover, the bacteria showed well degradation ability to various pharmaceutically active but nonbiodegradable compounds including diclofenac and fluoxetine, with a removal rate of 88 % and 20 %, respectively. Our study revealed the organic pollutant transformation pathway under the combined action of light and microorganisms, providing new insights into the microbial treatment of aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants.

Abstract
Bisphenol A is classified as a high production volume chemical commonly used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins and thermal paper. The endocrine disrupting properties of this xenobiotic have led to the restriction and prohibition of its use in many consumer products. To date, many chemical compounds with a chemical structure similar to bisphenol A have been used in consumer products as its replacement. The ubiquitous occurrence of bisphenol A and its substitutes in the environment and their endocrine activity as well as adverse effects on aquatic organisms is a global concern, especially because many available literature reports show that many substitutes (e.g. bisphenol AF, bisphenol AP, bisphenol B, bisphenol C, bisphenol F, bisphenol G, bisphenol FL, tetrabromobisphenol A) exert adverse effects on aquatic organisms, similar to, or even stronger than bisphenol A. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the production, sources, occurrence and associated toxicity, as well as the endocrine activity of bisphenol A and its substitutes on aquatic species. The environmental levels and ecotoxicological data presented in this review allowed for a preliminary assessment and prediction of the risk of bisphenol A and its substitutes for aquatic organisms. Furthermore, the data collected in this paper highlight that several compounds applied in bisphenol A-free products are not safe alternatives and regulations regarding their use should be introduced.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a typical endocrine disruptor and a contaminant of emerging concern (CECs), has detrimental impacts not only on the environment and ecosystems, but also on human health. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the degrading processes of BPA in order to diminish its persistent effects on ecological environmental safety. With this objective, the present study reports on the effectiveness of biotic/abiotic factors in optimizing BPA removal and evaluates the kinetic models of the biodegradation processes. The results showed that BPA affected chlorophyll a, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and photosystem intrinsic PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm) in the microalga Chlorella pyrenoidosa, which degraded 43.0 % of BPA (8.0 mg L-1) under general experimental conditions. The bacteria consortium AEF21 could remove 55.4 % of BPA (20 mg L-1) under orthogonal test optimization (temperature was 32 °C, pH was 8.0, inoculum was 6.0 %) and the prediction of artificial neural network (ANN) of machine learning (R2 equal to 0.99 in training, test, and validation phase). The microalgae-bacteria consortia have a high removal rate of 57.5 % of BPA (20.0 mg L-1). The kinetic study revealed that the removal processes of BPA by microalgae, bacteria, and microalgae-bacteria consortia all followed the Monod's kinetic model. This work provided a new perspective to apply artificial intelligence to predict the degradation of BPA and to understand the kinetic processes of BPA biodegradation by integrated biological approaches, as well as a novel research strategy to achieve environmental CECs elimination for long-term ecosystem health.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) removal from drinking water is greatly concerned for human and living things' safety. In this study, we synthesized three carboxyl-functionalized copolyimides and their homopolymer counterparts and evaluated their potential for removing BPA from an aqueous solution. The polymers were prepared via polycondensation reaction by reacting 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) with various ratios of 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) and 3,5-diamino-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoic acid (TrMCA). The effect of porosity, hydrophilicity, and methyl group content on BPA adsorption capacity has been investigated systemically. 6FDA-DABA demonstrated the highest BPA adsorption capacity with maximum adsorption of 67 mg g-1 and removal efficiency of approximately 90%. The anti-synergistic regime was observed between polymer porosity and hydrophilicity. As the content of the methyl group increases, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area increases, and the polymer hydrophilicity decreases, leading to a notable reduction in BPA adsorption capacity. The adsorption kinetics isotherms of BPA on 6FDA-based polyimides followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics, except for 6FDA-DABA, which was found to follow the pseudo-second-order. The BPA removal capacity was determined using both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The Langmuir model was more suitable than the Freundlich for the adsorption of BPA on the carboxyl-functionalized polyimides. To our knowledge, the prepared polyimides represent the first examples of utilizing polyimides for BPA removal. Investigating the structure/property relationship between polymers and their performance will pave the way to molecular engineering state-of-the-art polymer materials for efficient environmental remediation applications.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is considered a contaminant of emerging concern and interferes with the normal activities of living organisms. The toxicity of BPA is evident in animals and terrestrial plants. However, the response of aquatic plants to low BPA concentrations is still unclear. In the present study, effects of varying BPA loadings (targeting at 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/L) on the growth and reproductive traits of the dioecious annual submerged macrophyte Vallisneria natans were assessed through a 5-month experiment. The results showed that BPA inhibited the elongation of V. natans leaves but resulted in an increase in leaf number and ramet number under the highest BPA loading treatment (targeting at 1 mg/L). In addition, detectable biochemical changes in the total carbon and soluble sugar contents were found, which both were significantly higher at the highest BPA loading treatment. However, the total biomass did not alter significantly after the BPA treatments, indicating that BPA did not induce direct toxic effects on the growth of V. natans. At the highest BPA loading treatment, female individuals of V. natans allocated less number for ramet than male ones, showing a clear sexual dimorphism. No significant differences between the five treatments were found for the flower or fruit traits, while the germination rate was significantly inhibited for the seeds collected from the highest BPA loading treatment. In conclusion, V. natans tolerated low concentrations of BPA by making a trade-off between ramet (leaf) number and leaf elongation, as well as modulating the total carbon and soluble sugar contents. However, serious consequence of decline in seed viability implied that the impact of BPA on plant reproduction were usually underestimated.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is regarded as a hazardous pollutant that exists widely in aquatic environments, posing a severe threat to human health. In this study, a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp emitting a hybrid of 254 nm and 185 nm light was used to degrade BPA. Results indicated that photolysis via 254 nm wavelength accounted for 24.93% for BPA decay, while indirect oxidation was responsible for 52.27% of decay. Results confirmed that the degradation of BPA under VUV illumination mainly occurred via photo-excited degradation and ·OH electrophilic addition reactions based on average local ionization energy (ALIE) calculation and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Therefore, only light with a wavelength of 254 nm was able to induce the first three excited states of BPA, forming the electron transition type of n → π* from O atom to a single benzene ring and π → π* in the single benzene ring. Indirect oxidation by ·OH occurred as it preferentially attacked the C6 atom in BPA ring A. Moreover, the energy required for photo-excited degradation was about twofold than that of ·OH electrophilic addition reactions.

Abstract
Plastics gradually degrade in the natural environment from the effect of irradiation, which can change the surface properties of plastics and affect the migration behaviour of pollutants. Up to now, studies on the sorption/desorption behaviour of organic pollutants on aged plastics are still limited. In this study, several types of commercial plastics (polyurethane (PU), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), expanded polystyrene (EPS)) were selected to investigate the sorption and release behaviour for four kinds of bisphenols (bisphenol-F, A, B, AP). The results from Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed evidence of oxidization and surface cracks of plastics after irradiation. The sorption behaviour for both fresh and aged plastics were dominated by hydrophobicity. In addition, the electrostatic force, H-bonding interaction, and π-π interaction were also the important factors impacting the sorption process. The desorption kinetics behaviour indicates that desorption becomes faster after aging. Hydrophobicity is also an important factor that affects desorption behaviour. This study showed that sorption capacity for most fresh and aged plastics was enhanced by the impact of salinity and dissolved organic matter (DOM). Increased temperature could increase the desorption of bisphenols on both fresh and aged plastics, which illustrated that warm environments would promote more pollutants be released from plastics to water bodies.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the main ubiquitous compounds released from plastics in the environment. This compound, considered an endocrine disruptor, poses a risk to aquatic wildlife and human population, being included in multiple environmental monitoring programmes. Following the regulations restricting BPA use in the last years, BPA-like chemicals have been produced and used as BPA substitutes. However, they are not commonly included in monitoring programs yet and their presence is thus misrepresented, despite showing similar endocrine disrupting potential. In this work, an analytical method for analysing bisphenol A and five of its analogues (Bisphenol S, B, F, AF and Tetrabromobisphenol A) is described, validated for water (riverine, sea and wastewater), sediment, and biota (fish and biofilm) and applied to monitor their presence in the Ebro River Delta (NE Spain). In addition, plastic litter was also collected to evaluate their role as potential source of bisphenols. All compounds except BPF were detected in the analysed samples. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were discarded as major sources of BPs into the natural aquatic environment, as no BPs were detected in treated effluents. Indeed, the high levels of BPs in the natural environment could be related with direct discharge of raw wastewater from small rural population nucleus. The analysis of riverine plastic leachates yielded 4 out of the 6 BPs analysed, strengthening the hypothesis that plastic debris are also a source of BPs in the natural environment. Whereas Bisphenol S and BPA were detected in water and, to a limited extent, in biota, less polar analogues (mainly BPAF and TBBPA) were not found in any of the water samples. Instead, these hydrophobic BPs were found in fish tissues and biofilm, pointing out plastics and microplastics as their possible vectors. Finally, biofilm demonstrated its potential as sentinel of chemical contamination in freshwater environment.

Abstract
Robust antimicrobial capability is crucial for marine organisms survival in complex ocean environments. Although the detrimental impacts of emergent pollutants on cellular immune response of marine bivalve mollusks were increasingly documented, the effects of bisphenol A (BPA) and microplastics (MPs) on humoral immune response and hemocyte chemotactic activity remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, the toxicities of BPA and MPs, alone or in combination, to the antimicrobial ability, humoral immune response, and hemocyte chemotactic activity were investigated in the blood clam Tegillarca granosa. Our data demonstrated that exposure of blood clams to BPA, MPs, and BPA-MPs for 2 weeks lead to significant reductions in their survival rates upon pathogenic bacterial challenge, indicating evident impairment of antimicrobial ability. Compared to control, the plasma of pollutant-incubated blood clams exhibited significantly less antimicrobial activity against the growth of V. harveyi, suggesting significant reduction in humoral immune effectors including defensin, lysozyme (LZM), and lectin. Moreover, hemocytes migration across the polycarbonate membrane to the serum containing chamber was markedly arrested by 2-week exposure to BPA, MPs, and BPA-MPs, suggesting a hampered chemotactic activity. In addition, the intracellular contents of ROS and protein carbonyl in hemocytes were markedly induced whereas the expression levels of key genes from the MAPK and actin cytoskeleton regulation pathways were significantly suppressed upon exposure. In this study, it was also found that BPA-MP coexposure was significantly more toxic than single exposures. In summary, our findings revealed that exposure to the pollutants tested possibly impair the antimicrobial ability of blood clam through (1) reducing the inhibitory effect of plasma on bacterial growth, the contents of humoral immune effectors, and the chemotactic activity of hemocytes, (2) interrupting IL-17 activation of MAPK signal pathway, (3) inducing intracellular ROS, elevating protein carbonylation levels, and disrupting actin cytoskeleton regulation in hemocytes.

Abstract
This study mainly investigated the adsorption behavior and mechanism of microfiltration membranes (MFMs) with different physiochemical properties (polyamide (PA), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), nitrocellulose (NC), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) for bisphenol A (BPA). According to the adsorption isotherm and kinetic, the maximum adsorption capacity of these MFMs was PA (161.29 mg/g) > PVDF (80.00 mg/g) > NC (18.02 mg/g) > PTFE (1.56 mg/g), and the adsorption rate was PVDF (K1 = 2.373 h−1) > PA (K1 = 1.739 h−1) > NC (K1 = 1.086 h−1). The site energy distribution analysis showed that PA MFMs had the greatest adsorption sites, followed by PVDF and NC MFMs. The study of the adsorption mechanism suggested that the hydrophilic microdomain and hydrophobic microdomain had a micro-separation for PA and PVDF, which resulted in a higher adsorption capacity of PA and PVDF MFMs. The hydrophilic microdomain providing hydrogen bonding sites and the hydrophobic microdomain providing hydrophobic interaction, play a synergetic role in improving the BPA adsorption. Due to the hydrogen bonding force being greater than the hydrophobic force, more hydrogen bonding sites on the hydrophobic surface resulted in a higher adsorption capacity, but the hydrophobic interaction contributed to improving the adsorption rate. Therefore, the distribution of the hydrophilic microdomain and hydrophobic microdomain on MFMs can influence the adsorption capacity and the adsorption rate for BPA or its analogues. These consequences provide a novel insight for better understanding the adsorption behavior and mechanism on MFMs.

Abstract
Bisphenols are used in the manufacture of plastics and are endocrine disrupting compounds detectable in free living organisms and environments globally. The original bisphenol, bisphenol A (BPA), is best known as a xenoestrogen, but it also disrupts other steroid hormones and other classes of hormones including thyroid and pituitary hormones. When its toxicity became better known, BPA was replaced by presumably less toxic alternatives, including bisphenols S, F, and AF. However, recent data suggest that all bisphenols can have endocrine disrupting effects, although their impacts remain unresolved particularly in non-human animals. Our aim was to establish the current state-of-knowledge of the effects of different bisphenols on circulating hormone levels in non-human animals. Our meta-analysis showed that a diverse range of hormones (including thyroid hormones, corticosterone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and estradiol) are strongly impacted by exposure to any bisphenol type, and that in laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus) the effect was modified by life-stage. Although there were qualitative differences, BPA alternatives had as great or greater effects on hormone levels as BPA. However, data coverage across hormones was uneven, and most studies measured the effects of BPA on vertebrate reproductive hormones. Similarly, taxonomic coverage was poor. Over 80% of data originated from laboratory rats and zebrafish (Danio rerio) and there are no data for whole classes of invertebrates and vertebrates (e.g., amphibians). Our results show that all bisphenols alter circulating levels of a broad range of hormones. However, the current state-of-knowledge is incomplete so that the ecological impacts of bisphenols are difficult to gauge, although based on the available data bisphenols are likely to be detrimental to a broad range of taxa and ecosystems.

A battery of baseline toxicity bioassays directed evaluation of plastic leachates-Towards the establishment of bioanalytical monitoring tools for plastics. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 828:154387. [PMID: 35276177 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
There are increasing concerns regarding the ecological risks of plastics to the natural environment, especially the potential effects of plastic leachates on organisms, which contain various toxic components. However, appropriate methods to assess the overall environmental risks of plastics are limited. In this study, five different plastic products (three conventional and two biodegradable plastics) were immersed in simulated freshwater, and their toxicity was assessed using a battery of bioassays. We evaluated the effects of plastic leachates effects on organisms from four trophic levels of species (nematodes, Caenorhabditis elegans; algae, Scenedesmus obliquus; daphnids, Daphnia magna; and fish, Danio rerio) by measuring their acute and chronic toxicity. Our results indicated that all plastic leachates exhibited poor acute and chronic toxicity to the organisms. The acute toxicity of conventional plastic leachates with EC20 values <1.6 g plastic/L was higher than that of the biodegradable polydioxanone (PPDO) leachate (EC20: 16.2-796.1 g plastic/L); however, the toxicity of PPDO-octane (EC20: 0.04-1.9 g plastic/L) was similar to that of polyethylene or polystyrene (excluding toxicity in D. magna). Similarly, the leachates of the three conventional plastics and PPDO-octane had obvious inhibitory effects on the growth of C. elegans at exposure concentrations higher than 0.01 g plastic/L; however, the toxicity of the PPDO leachates was at least an order of magnitude lower. Therefore, the environmental related concentration of the plastic leachates did not have significant toxic effects. Considering that a single bioassay does not provide comprehensive information on biological implications, this study provided a new integrated and efficient method for the environmental risk assessment (ERA) of plastic leachates. Moreover, the toxicity sensitivity of different organisms varied following exposure to different plastics, thus demonstrating that multiple organisms from different trophic levels should be included in the ERA for plastics.

Abstract
Surfactants are crystallizing a certain focus for consumer interest, and their market is still expected to grow by 4 to 5% each year. Most of the time these surfactants are of petroleum origin and are not often biodegradable. Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) is a promising non-edible renewable resource, directly extracted from the shell of the cashew nut. The interesting structure of CNSL and its components (cardanol, anacardic acid and cardol) lead to the synthesis of biobased surfactants. Indeed, non-ionic, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic surfactants based on CNSL have been reported in the literature. Even now, CNSL is absent or barely mentioned in specialized review or chapters talking about synthetic biobased surfactants. Thus, this review focuses on CNSL as a building block for the synthesis of surfactants. In the first part, it describes and criticizes the synthesis of molecules and in the second part, it compares the efficiency and the properties (CMC, surface tension, kraft temperature, biodegradability) of the obtained products with each other and with commercial ones.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 423:127097. [PMID: 34488101 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 77] [Impact Index Per Article: 38.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (or BPA) is a toxic endocrine disrupting chemical that is released into the environment through modern manufacturing practices. BPA can disrupt the production, function and activity of endogenous hormones causing irregularity in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal glands and also the pituitary-adrenal function. BPA has immuno-suppression activity and can downregulate T cells and antioxidant genes. The genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of BPA is paramount and therefore, there is an immediate need to properly detect and remediate its influence. In this review, we discuss the toxic effects of BPA on different metabolic systems in the human body, followed by its mechanism of action. Various novel detection techniques (LC-MS, GC-MS, capillary electrophoresis, immunoassay and sensors) involving a pretreatment step (liquid-liquid microextraction and molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction) have also been detailed. Mechanisms of various remediation strategies, including biodegradation using native enzymes, membrane separation processes, photocatalytic oxidation, use of nanosorbents and thermal degradation has been detailed. An overview of the global regulations pertaining to BPA has been presented. More investigations are required on the efficiency of integrated remediation technologies rather than standalone methods for BPA removal. The effect of processing operations on BPA in food matrices is also warranted to restrict its transport into food products.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the environmental endocrine disrupting toxicants and is widely used in the industry involving plastics, polycarbonate, and epoxy resins. This study was designed to investigate the toxicological effects of BPA on hematology, serum biochemistry, and histopathology of different organs of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total of 60 fish were procured and haphazardly divided into four groups. Each experimental group contained 15 fish. The fish retained in group A was kept as the untreated control group. Three levels of BPA 3.0, 4.5, and 6 mg/L were given to groups B, C, and D for 30 days. Result indicated significant reduction in hemoglobin (Hb), lymphocytes, packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cells (RBC), and monocytes in a dose-dependent manner as compared to the control group. However, significantly higher values of leucocytes and neutrophils were observed in the treated groups (P < 0.05). Results on serum biochemistry revealed that the quantity of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and creatinine levels was significantly high (P < 0.05). Our study results showed significantly (P < 0.05) increase level of oxidative stress parameters like reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and lower values of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) in treated groups (4.5 mg/L and 6 mg/L)) in the brain, liver, gills, and kidneys. Our study depicted significant changes in erythrocytes (pear shaped erythrocytes, leptocytes, microcytes, spherocytes, erythrocytes with broken, lobed, micronucleus, blabbed, vacuolated nucleus, and nuclear remnants) among treated groups (4.5 mg/L and 6 mg/L). Comet assay showed increased genotoxicity in different tissues including the brain, liver, gills, and kidneys in the treated fish group. Based on the results of our experiment, it can be concluded that the BPA exposure to aquatic environment is responsible for deterioration of fish health, performance leading to dysfunction of multiple vital organs.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disrupting chemical able to promote hormone-responsive tumors. The major route of BPA contamination being oral, the aim of the present study was to investigate BPA effects on oral cells. Here, we evaluated the impact of sub-chronic in vivo exposure to BPA and its in vitro effects on neoplastic and non-neoplastic oral cells. We evaluated the oral mucosa of mice chronically exposed to BPA (200 mg/L). The response of keratinocytes (NOK-SI) and Head and Neck (HN) Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), HN12 and HN13 cell lines to BPA was examined. In vivo, BPA accumulated in oral tissues and caused an increase in epithelial proliferative activity. BPA disrupted the function of keratinocytes by altering pro-survival and proliferative pathways and the secretion of cytokines and growth factors. In tumor cells, BPA induced proliferative, invasive, pro-angiogenic, and epigenetic paths. Our data highlight the harmful effects of BPA on oral mucosa and, tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cells. Additionally, BPA may be a modifier of oral cancer cell behavior by prompting a functional shift to a more aggressive phenotype.

Abstract
Standardised microalgal toxicity assays are usually carried out with single-species cultures; however, multispecies bioassays are more faithful to environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the toxicity of the emerging pollutant bisphenol A (BPA) in single- and multispecies bioassays with three marine microalgae (Tetraselmis suecica, Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Nannochloropsis gaditana) using an equivalent initial cell biovolume of each species. After conducting preliminary growth experiments on these microalgae, a BPA concentration of 1 mg L-1 was chosen to study the effects of this pollutant in uni- and multialgal cultures. Growth, cell viability, oxidative stress, and inherent cell properties (size, complexity and autofluorescence) were determined by flow cytometry after 24 h of exposure. Results showed that P. tricornutum was the most affected species in all analysed biomarkers in both single- and multispecies bioassays. However, in N. gaditana cultures no significant differences were observed in any of the parameters and conditions tested, indicating that this species was the least sensitive to BPA. Between the uni- and multialgal tests, significant differences were observed in controls and BPA treated cultures of P. tricornutum and T. suecica. Nevertheless, it seemed that the cells of these marine microalgae suffered a similar pattern of alterations in both toxicity tests.
