The pharmaceutical triclosan induced oxidative stress and physiological disorder in marine organism and nanoparticles as a potential mitigating tool. MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 196:106424. [PMID: 38428315 DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2024.106424] [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: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Environmental research plays a crucial role in formulating novel approaches to pollution management and preservation of biodiversity. This study aims to assess the potential harm of pharmaceutical triclosan (TCS) to non-target aquatic organism, the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Furthermore, our study investigates the potential effectiveness of TiO2 and ZnO nanomaterials (TiO2 NPs and ZnO NPs) in degrading TCS. To ascertain the morphology, structure, and stability of the nanomaterials, several chemical techniques were employed. To evaluate the impact of TCS, TiO2 NPs, and ZnO NPs, both physiological (filtration rate (FR) and respiration rate (RR)), antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST)) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were measured in M. galloprovincialis gills and digestive gland. The mussel's responses varied depending on the contaminant, concentration, and organ, underscoring the significance of compiling these factors in ecotoxicity tests. The main toxic mechanisms of TCS and ZnO NPs at a concentration of 100 μg/L were likely to be a decrease in FR and RR, an increase in oxidative stress, and increased lipid peroxidation. Our findings indicate that a mixture of TCS and NPs has an antagonist effect on the gills and digestive gland. This effect is particularly notable in the case of TCS2 = 100 μg/L combined with TiO2 NP2 = 100 μg/L, which warrants further investigation to determine the underlying mechanism. Additionally, our results suggest that TiO2 NPs are more effective than ZnO NPs at degrading TCS, which may have practical implications for pharmaceutical control in marine ecosystems and in water purification plants. In summary, our study provides valuable information on the impact of pharmaceuticals on non-target organisms and sheds light on potential solutions for their removal from aqueous environments.

Life cycle assessment perspective on waste resource utilization and sustainable development: A case of glyphosate production. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 350:119584. [PMID: 38035501 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
The growing demand for pesticide manufacturing and increasing public awareness of sustainable development, have let to urgent requirements for a refined environmental management framework. It is imperative to conduct process-based life cycle assessments (LCAs) to promote clean and environment-friendly technologies. Herein, the cradle-to-gate LCA of glyphosate production was executed as an example to investigate crucial production factors (materials or energy) and multiple environmental impacts during the production processes. Results showed that methanol caused the highest environmental damage in terms of toxicity, with a normalized value of 85.7 × 10-8, followed by coal-fired electricity in 6.00 × 10-8. Furthermore, optimized schemes were proposed, including energy improvement (electricity generated by switching from coal-fired power to solar power) and wastewater targeted conversion. Regarding the normalization results before and after optimization, the latter showed more significant results with the normalized value decreasing by 21.10 × 10-8, while that of the former only decreased by 6.50 × 10-8. This study provides an integrated LCA framework for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) from upstream control and offers an important supplement to managing the key pollution factors and control links of the OP industry. Moreover, it reveals the positive influence of optimized schemes in facilitating cleaner production technologies, thus ultimately promoting new methodologies for resource recycling.

Impacts of nanoparticles and phosphonates in the behavior and oxidative status of the mediterranean mussels ( Mytilus galloprovincialis). Saudi J Biol Sci 2021; 28:6365-6374. [PMID: 34764754 PMCID: PMC8568998 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2021.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The current study investigated the exposure of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) to gold nanoparticles decorated zinc oxide (Au-ZnO NPs) and phosphonate [Diethyl (3-cyano-1-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-methylpropyl)] phosphate (PC). The mussels were exposed to concentrations of 50 and 100 µg L-1 of both compounds alone, as well as to a mixture of both pollutants (i.e. Mix). The singular and the combined effect of each pollutant was investigated by measuring the concentration of various metals (i.e., Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Au) in the the digestive glands and gills of mussels, their filtration capacity (FC), respiration rate (RR) and the response of oxidative biomarkers, respectively, following 14 days of exposure. The concentrations of Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Au increased directly with Au-ZnO NPs in mussel tissues, but significantly only for Zn. In contrast, the mixture of Au-ZnO100 NPs and PC100 did not induce any significant increase in the content of metals in digetsve glands and gills, suggesting antagonistic interactions between contaminants. In addition, FC and RR levels decreased following exposure to Au-ZnO100 NPs and PC100 treatments and no significant alterations were observed after the exposure to 50 µg.L-1 of both contaminants and Mix. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) level, GSH/GSSG ratio, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities showed significant changes following the exposure to both Au-ZnO NPs and PC, in the gills and the digestive glands of the mussel. However, no significant modifications were observed in both organs following the exposure to Mix. The current study advances the understanding of the toxicity of NPs and phosphonates on M. galloprovincialis and sets the path for future ecotoxicological studies regarding the synergic effects of these substances on marine species. Moreover, the current experiment suggests that the oxidative stress and the neurotoxic pathways are responsive following the exposure of marine invertebrates to both nanoparticles and phosphonates, with potential antagonist interactions of these substances on the physiology of targeted species.
