TL;DR: General mechanistic energy-based models showed poor relevance for data analysis, which suggests that fluoxetine targets specific mechanisms of reproduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present models to link feeding with growth, emergence, and reproduction of the midge Chironomus riparius, which can be used in sediment risk assessment to choose feeding level and build effects models, or to predict the effects of toxicants at the population level.

TL;DR: Toxicity of ivermectin to two freshwater organisms, the cladoceran Daphnia magna and the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, was investigated and it is suggested that the use of this compound might pose a risk to local aquatic ecosystems.

TL;DR: The integration of microtechnology, cell culture in microfluidic biochips, and metabolic profiling opens the development of so-called "metabolomics-on-a-chip" assays in pharmaceutical and environmental toxicology.

TL;DR: The β-blocker atenolol was chosen as a case study pharmaceutical within the project ERAPharm to show acceptable risks for surface water, for groundwater, and for aquatic microorganisms and to confirm the outcome of the environmental risk assessment according to EMEA/CHMP (2006).
