Characterization of cell responses in Rhodomonas baltica exposed to PMMA nanoplastics
Gomes, Tania; Almeida, Ana Catarina; Georgantzopoulou, Anastasia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Due to their small size, nanoplastics (NPLs) possess specific properties which can potentiate their toxicity towards aquatic organisms. As primary producers, microalgae are at the base of aquatic food chains, thus negative ... -
Characterization of multiple biomarker responses using flow cytometry to improve environmental hazard assessment with the green microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata
Almeida, Ana Catarina; Gomes, Tania; Habuda-Stanic, Mirna; Baz-Lomba, Jose Antonio; Romic, Zeljka; Turkalj, Jelena Vesligaj; Lillicrap, Adam David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Microalgal toxicity tests using integrative endpoints as algal growth are regularly required to analyse the toxicity of potentially hazardous substances in the aquatic environment. However, these do not provide mechanistic ... -
EDA-EMERGE: an FP7 initial training network to equip the next generation of young scientists with the skills to address the complexity of environmental contamination with emerging pollutants
Brack, Werner; Govender, Selvan; Schulze, Tobias; Krauss, Martin; Hu, Meng; Muz, Melis; Hollender, Juliane; Schirmer, Kristin; Schollee, Jennifer; Hidasi, Anita; Slobodnik, Jaroslav; Rabova, Zuzana; Ait-Aissa, Selim; Sonavane, Manoj; Carere, Mario; Lamoree, Marja; Leonards, Pim; Tufi, Sara; Ouyang, Xiyu; Schriks, Merijn; Thomas, Kevin; Almeida, Ana Catarina; Froment, Jean; Hammers-Wirtz, Monika; Ahel, Marijan; Koprivica, Sanja; Hollert, Henner; Seiler, Thomas-Benjamin; Di Paolo, Carolina; Tindall, Andrew; Spirhanzlova, Petra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The initial training network consortium novel tools in effect-directed analysis to support the identification and monitoring of emerging toxicants on a European scale (EDA-EMERGE) was formed in response to the seventh EU ... -
Maskinell rydding av plastinfiltrerte jordmasser fra Samuelskilen på Mellom-Bolæren, Færder nasjonalpark
Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Hansen, Liv-Marit; Eidsvoll, David; Almeida, Ana Catarina; Moe, Nicolay (NIVA-rapport;7444, Research report, 2019)Jordmassene hentet ut med maskinell rydding fra Samuelskilen i Færder nasjonalpark på øya Mellom-Bolæren, inneholdt totalt 5% plast per vektenhet (av størrelse over 5 mm) og 50% per volumenhet. All plasten fra jordmassene ... -
Mixture effects in samples of multiple contaminants – An inter-laboratory study with manifold bioassays
Altenburger, Rolf; Scholze, Martin; Busch, Wibke; Escher, Beate; Jakobs, Gianina; Krauss, Martin; Krüger, Janet; Neale, Peta A.; Aït-Aïssa, Selim; Almeida, Ana Catarina; Seiler, Thomas-Benjamin; Brion, François; Hilscherová, Klára; Hollert, Henner; Novak, Jiri; Schlichting, Rita; Serra, Helene; Shao, Ying; Tindall, Andrew; Tollefsen, Knut-Erik; Umbuzeiro, Gisela de Aragão; Williams, Timothy D.; Kortenkamp, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Chemicals in the environment occur in mixtures rather than as individual entities. Environmental quality monitoring thus faces the challenge to comprehensively assess a multitude of contaminants and potential adverse ... -
Organic chemicals associated with rubber are more toxic to marine algae and bacteria than those of thermoplastics
Sørensen, Lisbet; Gomes, Tania; Igartua, Amaia; Lyngstad, Inger Larsen; Almeida, Ana Catarina; Wagner, Martin; Booth, Andy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The current study investigated the chemical complexity of fifty plastic (36) and elastomer/rubber (14) methanol extracts from consumer products, focusing on the association with toxicity in two screening assays (bacteria ... -
Oxidative stress potential of the herbicides bifenox and metribuzin in the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Almeida, Ana Catarina; Gomes, Tania; Langford, Katherine; Thomas, Kevin V; Tollefsen, Knut-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The widespread presence of herbicides in the aquatic environment has raised awareness about the need to develop further in depth ecotoxicological risk assessments, more specifically on potential effects on photosynthetic ... -
Specific toxicity of azithromycin to the freshwater microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata
Almeida, Ana Catarina; Gomes, Tânia; Baz-Lomba, Jose Antonio; Lillicrap, Adam David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pharmaceuticals are produced to inflict a specific physiological response in organisms. However, as only partially metabolized after administration, these types of compounds can also originate harmful side effects to ...
