Journal ArticleDOI
The use of biomarkers to assess the impact of pollution in coastal environments of the Iberian Peninsula: a practical approach
Miren P. Cajaraville,Maria João Bebianno,Julián Blasco,Cinta Porte,Carmen Sarasquete,Aldo Viarengo +5 more
TL;DR: A battery of biomarkers of contaminant exposure and effects are proposed that could be incorporated into programmes monitoring the quality of the coastal environment in the Iberian Peninsula and would be undertaken in conjunction with chemical measures of contaminants burdens in selected sentinel species.
BookDOI
Metal metabolism in aquatic environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the interactions between living organisms and metals in intertidal and subtidal sediments are discussed, and the influence of ecological factors on accumulation of metal mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics effects in Scrobicularia plana.
Francisca Ribeiro,Ana R. Garcia,Beatriz P. Pereira,Maria José Vieira Fonseca,Nélia C. Mestre,Taina Garcia da Fonseca,Laura M. Ilharco,Maria João Bebianno +7 more
TL;DR: Results revealed that microplastics induce effects on antioxidant capacity, DNA damage, neurotoxicity and oxidative damage, and that S. plana is a significant target to assess the environmental risk of PS microplastic.
Book ChapterDOI
Metal handling strategies in molluscs
TL;DR: The concentration and distribution of metals in molluscan tissues, as in any other organism, is highly dependent on the biochemical processes of metal metabolism occurring within cells, and a wide range of behaviour in terms of uptake, detoxification and storage is manifested — the major components of metal bioaccumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of copper nanoparticles exposure in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis.
Tânia Gomes,José Paulo Pinheiro,Ibon Cancio,Catarina Pereira,Cátia Cardoso,Maria João Bebianno +5 more
TL;DR: Findings show that filter-feeding organisms are significant targets for nanoparticle exposure and need to be included when evaluating the overall toxicological impact of nanoparticles in the aquatic environment.
