Perfluoroalkyl acids in fish of Italian deep lakes: Environmental and human risk assessment

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates that biota monitoring of fish can be used as a valuable tool to classify the quality status of water bodies regarding bioaccumulative PFAAs, even if the water concentrations are close to the reachable detection limits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicity of 4-nonylphenol to Tubifex tubifex and Chironomus riparius in 28-day whole-sediment tests.

TL;DR: Evaluated the toxicity and the effects on reproduction of 4NP spiked sediment to the benthic invertebrates Tubifex tubifex and Chironomus riparius, finding no significant differences in the sex ratio of the emerged chironomids when exposed to 4NP compared to the controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multispecies approach for monitoring persistent toxic substances in the Gulf of Gdańsk (Baltic sea)

TL;DR: The blue mussel (Mytilus trossulus) was confirmed to be a very useful sentinel species to compare pollution level inside and outside the Gulf of Gdańsk, and it is recommended the use of other species to give a more detailed picture of the pollution situation in coastal areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological risk assessment for the recent case of DDT pollution in Lake Maggiore (Northern Italy)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a study that integrates information provided by the Commission for the Protection of Italian and Swiss Waters with further analysis and ecotoxicological tests carried out on some autochthonous target species for this insecticide.
