Benzoylurea pesticides used as veterinary medicines in aquaculture: Risks and developmental effects on nontarget crustaceans
Macken, Ailbhe; Lillicrap, Adam David; Langford, Katherine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Diflubenzuron and teflubenzuron are benzoylureas that are used in aquaculture to control sea lice. Flubenzurons have low toxicity to many marine species such as fish and algae but by their nature are likely to have significant ... -
Ecotoxicological effects of transformed silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the effluent from a lab-scale wastewater treatment system
Georgantzopoulou, Anastasia; Carvalho, Patricia A.; Vogelsang, Christian; Tilahun, Mengstab; Ndungu, Stephen Kuria; Booth, Andy; Thomas, Kevin V; Macken, Ailbhe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In this study, a lab-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), simulating biological treatment, received 10 μg/L Ag and 100 μg/L TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) for 5 weeks. NP partitioning was evaluated by size fractionation (>0.7 ... -
Growth inhibition in Raphidocelis subcapita – Evidence of nanospecific toxicity of silver nanoparticles
Kleiven, Merethe; Macken, Ailbhe; Oughton, Deborah H (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Silver, known for its antibacterial properties and for its toxicity to aquatic organisms, is one of the most frequently used nanomaterials and silver nanoparticles can be found in a range of consumer products as well as ... -
An integrated biological effects assessment of the discharge water into the Sunndalsfjord from an aluminium smelter
Brooks, Steven; Gomes, Tania; Grung, Merete; Petersen, Karina; Macken, Ailbhe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An integrated biological effects study using field transplanted mussels was applied to determine the potential biological effects of an effluent discharge from an aluminium smelter into a Norwegian fjord. Chemical body ... -
Marine ecotoxicity of nitramines, transformation products of amine-based carbon capture technology
Coutris, Claire; Macken, Ailbhe; Collins, Andrew Richard; El Yamani, Naouale; Brooks, Steven (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)In the context of reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, chemical absorption with amines is emerging as the most advanced technology for post-combustion CO2 capture from exhaust gases of fossil fuel power plants. Despite ... -
