Abstract 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) is a synthetic hormone, which is a derivative of the
natural hormone, estradiol (E2). EE2 is an orally bio-active estrogen, and is one of the most …

Application of the single-cell gel electrophoresis or comet assay has revolutionized the field
of genetic ecotoxicology or eco-genotoxicology. It is a rapid, sensitive and relatively …

This review considers the potential of the Comet assay (or Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis,
SCGE) to evaluate the environmental impact of genotoxins in aquatic environments. It …

Micropollutants, as a serious water pollution issue, raise considerable toxicological
concerns, particularly when present as components of complex mixtures. Due to the …

Pharmaceutical drugs are contaminants of emerging concern and are amongst the most
frequent in the aquatic environment. Even though a vast literature indicate that …

DNA oxidation, which can have potentially serious mutagenic consequences, commonly
accompanies exposure to environmental mutagens. Oxidised bases can be measured …

We investigated the effects of genotoxicant exposure in gametes and embryos to find a
possible link between genotoxicity and reproduction/developmental impairment, and …

This study evaluated embryotoxicity and genotoxicity of two dissolved metals copper and
cadmium (Cu and Cd) and two pesticides (metolachlor and irgarol) occurring in Arcachon …

Mytilus edulis were exposed to 17β-estradiol (E2) and the synthetic estrogens ethinyl
estradiol (EE2) and estradiol benzoate (EB) for 10 days. Two exposures were performed to …

Pesticides may be involved in oyster summer mortality events, not necessarily as a single
causative agent but as an additional stressor. In this context, the present study aimed to …
