Toxicity of five antibiotics and their mixtures towards photosynthetic aquatic organisms: implications for environmental risk assessment.

Miguel González-Pleiter, +7 more
- 15 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: From the tested antibiotic mixtures, it can be concluded that certain specific combinations may pose a potential ecological risk for aquatic ecosystems with the present environmentally measured concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fate of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants and their environmental dispersion with effluent and sludge.

Carlos Edo, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: The sludge of the WWTP sampled in this work, would disseminate 8 × 1011 plastic particles per year if improperly managed and the agricultural use of sludge as soil amendment in the area of Madrid could spread up to 1013 microplastic particles in agricultural soils per year.
Journal ArticleDOI

Untangling the biological effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles: the role of surface valence states.

Gerardo Pulido-Reyes, +7 more
- 22 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: The results of this study are relevant in the understanding of the main drivers of biological activity of nanoceria and to define global descriptors of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) bioactivity which may be useful in safer-by-design strategies of nanomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secondary nanoplastics released from a biodegradable microplastic severely impact freshwater environments

Miguel González-Pleiter, +6 more
- 16 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of secondary nanoplastics of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable plastic, on three representative organisms of aquatic ecosystems were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physicochemical characterization and ecotoxicological assessment of CeO2 nanoparticles using two aquatic microorganisms.

Ismael Rodea-Palomares, +8 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: The toxicity of cerium oxide for the self-luminescent cyanobacterial recombinant strain Anabaena CPB4337 and the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and the cyanobacterium is described.
