Assessing interactions between nutrients and aquatic toxicity : influences of nitrogen and phosphorus on ionic silver toxicity to the aquatic macrophyte Lemna gibba.
(2011-05-12)
Though nutrients and silver often co-occur in aquatic ecosystems, the combined effects of these environmental stressors on aquatic plants are poorly understood. Such coexposures are important because nanosilver is increasingly ...
Individual and interactive influences of low dissolved oxygen and calcium channel blockers in inland aquatic systems.
(2018-08-31)
Understanding and managing influences of multiple stressors represents a major water quality challenge, particularly in urbanizing regions. Because aquatic hazard assessments with chemical and nonchemical stressors can ...
Timing matters : defining temporal occurrence and associated water quality hazards for contaminants of emerging concern in municipal effluent.
(2017-04-20)
To understand environmental hazards and risks posed by contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) it is imperative to define the magnitude, frequency and duration of exposure, because temporal variability of environmental ...
Atmospheric concentrations of organophosphate esters in Delhi, India.
(2018-04-27)
The rise of organophosphate esters (OPEs) as ubiquitous global air pollutants is in part associated with their high-production volume, physical and chemical properties, and heavy use in consumer products, including many ...
Multigenerational responses of Daphnia magna to Ethynylestradiol and Faslodex.
(2006-05-11)
Select environmental contaminants can disrupt normal functions of aquatic invertebrate endocrine systems. While ecological risk assessments often rely on standardized laboratory toxicity tests to assess ecological impacts, ...
Street Dust : implications for stormwater and air quality, and management through street sweeping.
(, 2013-09-24)
Street dust represents a source of dual potential risk to stormwater and air quality. It has been well-documented that washing of this material to local watersheds can degrade water quality. Studies have also demonstrated ...
The sublime and the synthetic: riparian art and industrialization.
(2009-01-07)
This study proposes that traditional, American riparian artistry provided the greatest retaliation against the harsh environmental changes imposed by industry during the Gilded Age. Common environmental ethics and widespread ...
Prymnesium parvum in inland waters : comparative toxicity, microcystin allelopathy, and toxin photodegradation.
(2009-09-09)
The harmful algal species Prymnesium parvum, a toxin-producing mixotrophic haptophyte, has caused massive fish kills in slightly saline inland Texas water bodies. In the first study, standardized aquatic test models from ...
Resident perceptions of management issues in the Red River Gorge: a qualitative assesment.
(2006-07-30)
Management of protected areas is oftentimes a difficult process, particularly when stakeholder groups with different agendas are impacted by decisions regarding use of the resource. The Red River Gorge area in eastern ...
Using in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) to develop toxicity metrics for human health risk assessment of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
(, 2012-11-29)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are flame retardants found in many industrial components, such as furniture foam, consumer electronics, plastics, and textiles and levels have increased in humans over the past few ...
