This paper, based on the outcome of discussions at a NORMAN Network-supported
workshop in Lyon (France) in November 2014 aims to provide a common position of passive …

Anthropogenic pollutants are found worldwide. Their fate and effects on human and
ecosystem health must be appropriately monitored. Today, ecotoxicology is focused on the …

Traditional morphological diagnoses of taxonomic status remain widely used while an
increasing number of studies show that one morphospecies might hide cryptic diversity, ie …

Central European riverine networks are subject to widely varying local anthropogenic
pressures, forcing species with limited dispersal abilities to adapt or become locally extinct …

In this study, UV based treatments were implemented at pilot scale to assess their ability to
remove hormones from treated wastewater, especially with the view to equip small and …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are widespread and environmentally persistent chemicals
that readily bind to particles in air, soil and sediment. Plastic particles, which are also an …

The use of freshwater invertebrates for biomonitoring has been increasing for several
decades, but little is known about relations between external exposure concentration of …

Internal concentrations link external exposure to the potential effect, as they reflect what the
organisms actually take up and experience physiologically. In this study, we investigated …

A biomonitoring approach based on a single model species cannot be representative of the
contaminations impacts on the ecosystem overall. As part of the Interreg DIADeM program …

Background Several biomarkers developed from freshwater sentinel species are used to
complement chemical assessment of freshwater ecosystems and improve the evaluation of …
