Journal ArticleDOI
Nonylphenol isomers differ in estrogenic activity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that defined p-NP isomers are most suitable for reflecting the estrogenic potency of technical NP mixtures, and should be used in the future to explain differences inosteroneic potency due to NPs as detected by various in vitro assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of estrogenic activity from municipal waste landfill leachate assessed with a bioassay based on reporter gene expression.
TL;DR: It is proposed that bisphenol A was responsible for the majority of estrogenic activity in the raw and treated leachate, and the contribution of treated leaches to the estrogenic load on the aquatic environment seems to be low compared to that of sewage treatment works.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land use, genetic diversity and toxicant tolerance in natural populations of Daphnia magna.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential selection pressure imposed by anthropogenic pollution and provide evidence that genetic erosion in natural Daphnia populations is related to anthropogenic impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary ecotoxicology of pesticide resistance: a case study in Daphnia.
TL;DR: It became clear that the responses to both exposure to single and combined stressors was for several life history variables strongly dependent upon past exposure to carbaryl, indicating that past exposures to pesticides are important and can not be neglected when evaluating responses to current stressors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The serotonin re-uptake inhibitor fluoxetine was selected for an environmental risk assessment, using the most recent European guideline (EMEA 2006), due to its environmental persistence, acute toxicity to nontarget organisms, and unique pharmacokinetics associated with a readily ionizable compound.
