Journal ArticleDOI
The zebrafish embryo model in environmental risk assessment—applications beyond acute toxicity testing
TL;DR: The zebrafish embryo represents a model with an impressive range of possible applications in environmental sciences, and the adaptation of molecular, system-wide approaches from biomedical research is likely to extend its use in ecotoxicology.
Journal ArticleDOI
A European perspective on alternatives to animal testing for environmental hazard identification and risk assessment

TL;DR: An overview on current regulations of chemicals and the requirements for animal tests in environmental hazard and risk assessment is provided and the potential areas for alternative approaches to animal tests using vertebrates in environmental toxicology are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and ecotoxicological assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon--contaminated sediments of the Niger Delta, Southern Nigeria.
TL;DR: The overall levels of PAHs in this study are low compared to other regions and reveal moderatePAHs pollution in the sediments of the Niger Delta, which indicate a petrogenic origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholin- and carboxylesterase activities in developing zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) and their potential use for insecticide hazard assessment.
TL;DR: The results showed that the observed cholinesterase activities in the whole embryo may be attributed mainly to acetylcholinestersterase with a partial capability to use propionylthiocholine as a second substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect-based assessment of toxicity removal during wastewater treatment
Pia Välitalo,Pia Välitalo,Riccardo Massei,Ilse Heiskanen,Peter A. Behnisch,Werner Brack,Andrew J. Tindall,David Du Pasquier,Eberhard Küster,Anna Mikola,Tobias Schulze,Markus Sillanpää +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a biotest battery comprising of multiple endpoints can serve as a powerful tool when assessing water quality or water treatment efficiency in a holistic manner and can be used to complement traditional methods of monitoring in the future by assessing sum-parameter based effects.
