Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the environment: what are the big questions?

TL;DR: This exercise prioritized the most critical questions regarding the effects of PPCPs on human and ecological health in order to ensure that future resources will be focused on the most important areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment: sources (with a specific focus on personal care products), fate and effects.
Karen Duis,Anja Coors +1 more
TL;DR: Considering the persistence of microplastics in the environment, the high concentrations measured at some environmental sites and the prospective of strongly increasing concentrations, the release of plastics into the environment should be reduced in a broad and global effort regardless of a proof of an environmental risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for environmental development and transfer of antibiotic resistance.
Nicholas J. Ashbolt,Alejandro Amézquita,Thomas Backhaus,Peter Borriello,Kristian K. Brandt,Peter Collignon,Anja Coors,Rita Finley,William H. Gaze,Thomas Heberer,John R. Lawrence,D. G. Joakim Larsson,Scott A. McEwen,Jim J. Ryan,Jens Schönfeld,Peter Silley,Jason Snape,Christel Van den Eede,Edward Topp +18 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that environmental aspects of antibiotic-resistance development be included in the processes of any HHRA addressing ARB, and a multicriteria decision analysis approach would be a useful way to undertake an HHRA of environmental antibiotic resistance that informs risk managers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic, antagonistic and additive effects of multiple stressors: predation threat, parasitism and pesticide exposure in Daphnia magna
Anja Coors,Luc De Meester +1 more
TL;DR: The model of independent action proved useful in quantitatively predicting effects of additively acting stressors, and in visualizing the occurrence and magnitude of non-additive effects in accordance with results of analysis of variances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicological assessment of antibiotics: A call for improved consideration of microorganisms.
Kristian K. Brandt,Alejandro Amézquita,Thomas Backhaus,Alistair B.A. Boxall,Anja Coors,Thomas Heberer,John R. Lawrence,James M. Lazorchak,Jens Schönfeld,Jason Snape,Yong-Guan Zhu,Edward Topp +11 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that ecotoxicological tests should not only assess microbial community function, but also microbial diversity (‘species’ richness) and antibiotic susceptibility, and it is concluded that microbial community-based tests should be used to complement single-species tests to offer more targeted protection of key ecosystem services.
