Because it is only possible to test chemicals for effects on a restricted range of species and
exposure scenarios, ecotoxicologists are faced with a significant challenge of how to …

Two million tonnes of pesticides are currently used globally to improve crop production, yet
these pesticides induce adverse effects on soil quality and biodiversity. Moreover, less than …

The assessment of chemical mixture toxicity is one of the major challenges in ecotoxicology.
Chemicals can interact, leading to more or less effects than expected, commonly named …

Atrazine is one of the most used herbicides and its over-application in fields can affect the
soils and their associated biota. In this work, earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to …

In this paper, cadmium (Cd) stress tests were performed on Eisenia fetida in sterile artificial
soil, and its regulatory mechanism between microbial communities in vivo and in vitro after …

Microplastics (MPs) are critical emerging pollutants around the world. There is a growing
interest in the effects of MP ingestion, non-digestion, and toxicity on aquatic organisms …

Simple Summary This study looked at the effects of exposure to small plastic particles
(polyethylene microplastics) and a flame retardant (tetrabromobisphenol A) on the …

Earthworms and microbial communities are essential non-target soil organisms that are
useful to assess the collateral impact of pesticides. The present paper reports three …

Earthworms as ecosystem engineers partially improve soil properties by egesting casts. Our
previous study confirmed that soil pollution affects the physico-chemical properties of …

Cypermethrin (Cyp), a persistent synthetic pyrethroid insecticide widely used for insect
control. The persistence of Cyp creates toxicity to both humans and the environment This …
