Toxicological effects induced on early life stages of zebrafish (Danio rerio) after an acute exposure to microplastics alone or co-exposed with copper
Data about the toxicological interactions of MPs and heavy metals in biota is limited,
particularly in fish early life stages. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicological effects of …

The use of biomarkers in biomonitoring: a 2-tier approach assessing the level of pollutant-induced stress syndrome in sentinel organisms
A Viarengo, D Lowe, C Bolognesi, E Fabbri… - … and Physiology Part C …, 2007 - Elsevier
The paper outlines a 2-tier approach for wide-scale biomonitoring programmes. To obtain a
high level of standardization, we suggest the use of caged organisms (mussels or fish). An …

Selenium antagonises the toxic effects of arsenic on mungbean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) plants by restricting its uptake and enhancing the antioxidative and …
The presence of arsenic (As) in the metal-contaminated soils is toxic for the crops causing
their impaired growth and development. Selenium (Se) is also likely to be present along with …

Single and combined acute and subchronic toxic effects of microplastics and copper in zebrafish (Danio rerio) early life stages
The evaluation of the interaction between microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals is of special
importance for risk assessment. In this study, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to MPs (2 …
