Micro-and nanoscopic X-ray techniques were used to investigate the relationship between
uranium (U) tissue distributions and adverse effects to the digestive tract of aquatic model …

Microalgae have been widely used in ecotoxicological studies in order to evaluate the
impacts of heavy metals in aquatic ecosystems. However, there are few studies that analyze …

Daphnia magna was exposed to waterborne uranium (U) at concentrations ranging from 10

There is growing scientific, regulatory and public concern over anthropogenic input of
radionuclides to the aquatic environment, especially given the issues surrounding existing …

A combination of synchrotron-based elemental analysis and acute toxicity tests was used to
investigate the biodistribution and adverse effects in Daphnia magna exposed to uranium …

The recent development of a custom cDNA microarray platform for one of thé standard
organisms in aquatic toxicology, Daphnia magna, opened up new ways to mechanistic …

We used a toxicokinetic–toxicodynamic (TKTD) model to analyze chronic effects, in Daphnia
