Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco) toxicological assessments because they
offer ethical, cost‐effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in …

Seawater intrusion into low‐lying coastal ecosystems carries environmental risks. Salinity
levels at these coastal ecosystems may vary substantially, causing ecological effects from …

The concentration of nanoplastics (NPs) is expected to increase in aquatic environments
thus potentially threatening freshwater organisms through interactions with plastic particles …

Contamination of the environment by pharmaceutical pollutants poses an increasingly
critical threat to aquatic ecosystems around the world. This is particularly true of …

Several studies have shown that ingestion of microplastics causes adverse effects in aquatic
organisms, including sediment-dwelling invertebrates. Most studies focus on evaluating the …

Microbial insecticides are being used as ecologically-friendly alternatives to traditional
insecticides. However, their effects have been poorly investigated on non-target freshwater …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutants of aquatic ecosystems.
Because they are persistent, there is great potential for chronic toxicity to aquatic species …

Graphene oxide (GO) inevitably interacts with engineered and/or natural nanoparticles
(NPs) after releasing into aquatic environments. It is observed that GO could form …

Paraquat (PQ) is still used in several countries worldwide as an herbicide for weed control in
agricultural production, ponds, reservoirs and irrigation canals. Thus, PQ is frequently found …

There is a lack of data on the effects of chronic exposure to common drugs and stimulants on
the developing nervous system. Freshwater planarians have emerged as a useful …
