ECORISK2050: An Innovative Training Network for predicting the effects of global change on the emission, fate, effects, and risks of chemicals in aquatic ecosystems
Welch, Samuel Alexander Stafford; Lane, Taylor; Desrousseaux, Alizée O.S; van Dijk, Joanke; Mangold-Döring, Annika; Gajraj, Rudrani; Hader, John D.; Hermann, Markus; Parvathi Ayillyath Kutteyeri, Anju; Mentzel, Sophie; Nagesh, Poornima; Polazzo, Francesco; Roth, Sabrina K.; Boxall, Alistair B.A.; Chefetz, Benny; Dekker, Stefan C.; Eitzinger, Josef; Grung, Merete; MacLeod, Matthew; Moe, S. Jannicke; Rico, Andreu; Sobek, Anna; van Wezel, Annemarie P.; van den Brink, Paul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)By 2050, the global population is predicted to reach nine billion, with almost three quarters living in cities. The road to 2050 will be marked by changes in land use, climate, and the management of water and food across ... -
Effects of Polyester Fibers and Car Tire Particles on Freshwater Invertebrates
Schell, Theresa; Martinez-Perez, Sara; Dafouz, Raquel; Hurley, Rachel; Vighi, Marco; Rico, Andreu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Microplastic ingestion has been shown for various organisms, but knowledge of the potential adverse effects on freshwater invertebrates remains limited. We assessed the ingestion capacity and the associated effects of ... -
Fate of microplastics in agricultural soils amended with sewage sludge: Is surface water runoff a relevant environmental pathway?
Schell, Theresa; Hurley, Rachel; Buenaventura, Nina Tuscano; Mauri, Pedro V.; Nizzetto, Luca; Rico, Andreu; Vighi, Marco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Sewage sludge used as agricultural fertilizer has been identified as an important source of microplastics (MPs) to the environment. However, the fate of MPs added to agricultural soils is largely unknown. This study ... -
Influence of climate change and pesticide use practices on the ecological risks of pesticides in a protected Mediterranean wetland: A Bayesian network approach
Martínez-Megías, Claudia; Mentzel, Sophie; Fuentes-Edfuf, Yasser; Moe, S. Jannicke; Rico, Andreu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pollution by agricultural pesticides is one of the most important pressures affecting Mediterranean coastal wetlands. Pesticide risks are expected to be influenced by climate change, which will result in an increase of ... -
Large-scale monitoring and risk assessment of microplastics in the Amazon River
Rico, Andreu; Redondo-Hasselerharm, Paula; Vighi, Marco; Waichman, Andrea Viviana; de Souza Nunes, Gabriel Silva; Oliveira, Rhaul de; Singdahl-Larsen, Cecilie; Hurley, Rachel; Nizzetto, Luca; Schell, Theresa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Microplastics (MPs) are one of the most widespread contaminants worldwide, yet their risks for freshwater ecosystems have seldom been investigated. In this study, we performed a large monitoring campaign to assess the ... -
Spatio-temporal distribution of microplastics in a Mediterranean river catchment: The importance of wastewater as an environmental pathway
Schell, Theresa; Hurley, Rachel; Nizzetto, Luca; Rico, Andreu; Vighi, Marco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Microplastics (MPs) are considered to be ubiquitous contaminants in freshwater ecosystems, yet their sources and pathways at the river catchment scale need to be better determined. This study assessed MP (55–5000 µm) ... -
Stressors affecting the ecological status of temporary rivers in the Mediterranean region
Lorenz, Armin W.; Kaijser, Willem; Acuña, Vicenç; Austnes, Kari; Bonada, Nuria; Dörflinger, Gerald; Ferreira, Teresa; Karaouzas, Ioannis; Rico, Andreu; Hering, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Temporary rivers are widespread in the Mediterranean region and impose a challenge for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and other environmental regulations. Surprisingly, an overarching analysis ... -
Use of models for the environmental risk assessment of veterinary medicines in European aquaculture: current situation and future perspectives
Rico, Andreu; Vighi, Marco; Van den Brink, Paul J; ter Horst, Mechteld; Macken, Ailbhe; Lillicrap, Adam; Falconer, Lynne; Telfer, Trevor C (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Veterinary Medicinal Products (VMPs) are used in intensive aquaculture production to treat a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infestations. Their release into the environment poses concerns regarding their potential ... -
Using a Bayesian Network Model to Predict Risk of Pesticides on Aquatic Community Endpoints in a Rice Field—A Southern European Case Study
Mentzel, Sophie; Martínez-Megías, Claudia; Grung, Merete; Rico, Andreu; Tollefsen, Knut-Erik; Van den Brink, Paul J.; Moe, S. Jannicke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Bayesian network (BN) models are increasingly used as tools to support probabilistic environmental risk assessments (ERAs), because they can better account for uncertainty compared with the simpler approaches commonly used ...
