Comparison of bioconcentration and kinetics of GenX in tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus in fresh and brackish water

Samreen Siddiqui et al.

Summary: Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) are a broad suite of chemicals commonly found in the environment, aquatic organisms, and even drinking water, with GenX raising concerns. Through exposure experiments on tilapia fingerlings, it was found that bioconcentration of GenX in all tissues increased with rising salinity, potentially impacting marine organisms and human exposure.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the environment

Marina G. Evich et al.

Summary: PFAS has become a symbol of environmental contamination, attracting public, scientific, and regulatory concern. These compounds are globally distributed through atmospheric and aqueous releases, and they accumulate in biota through multiple pathways. Efforts to remediate PFAS-contaminated matrices are still in their early stages, with a focus on research targeting drinking water.

Outside the Safe Operating Space of a New Planetary Boundary for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Ian T. Cousins et al.

Summary: It is hypothesized that environmental contamination by PFAS has exceeded the planetary boundary. Levels of PFAAs in various global environmental media often exceed guideline values, indicating widespread contamination. The high persistence of PFAAs in atmospheric deposition makes reversibility difficult, highlighting the urgent need to restrict PFAS uses and emissions.

Comparative toxicokinetics and toxicity of PFOA and its replacement GenX in the early stages of zebrafish

Kruuttika Satbhai et al.

Summary: Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are receiving attention due to their persistence and potential adverse effects. Little is known about the uptake, elimination, and toxicity of short-chain PFAS replacements. A study on zebrafish embryos found that short-chain PFAS replacements and long-chain PFAS compounds had similar toxic effects.

Can ocean warming alter sub-lethal effects of antiepileptic and antihistaminic pharmaceuticals in marine bivalves?

Angela Almeida et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impacts of ocean warming on two pharmaceutical drugs, Carbamazepine and Cetirizine, in the edible clam Ruditapes philippinarum. The results showed limited effects of the drugs at control and warming conditions, with warming improving the oxidative status of contaminated clams, especially when both drugs were combined. Defense mechanisms were activated under higher stress levels, highlighting the need for further research on this topic due to increasing marine heat waves and pollution levels.

Dominant entropic binding of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to albumin protein revealed by 19F NMR

Michael Fedorenko et al.

Summary: Understanding protein binding mechanisms of PFASs is crucial for predicting their distribution in the body. F-19 NMR spectroscopy revealed that hydrophobic tails of PFASs have greater affinity for proteins than headgroups. The binding mechanism is dominated by entropic hydrophobic interactions and solvent entropy plays a significant role.

Contribution of Dietary Uptake to PAH Bioaccumulation in a Simplified Pelagic Food Chain: Modeling the Influences of Continuous vs Intermittent Feeding in Zooplankton and Fish

Haotian Wang et al.

Summary: Dietary uptake plays a crucial role in the bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in freshwater pelagic ecosystems. This study found that the rate and interval of dietary uptake significantly influenced the relative contribution of PAH bioaccumulation, with higher trophic-level organisms showing a greater dependence on dietary uptake for PAH bioaccumulation.

Water temperature affects the biotransformation and accumulation of a psychoactive pharmaceutical and its metabolite in aquatic organisms

D. Cerveny et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of temperature on the bioconcentration, biotransformation, and accumulation of anxiolytic drugs in aquatic organisms. The results showed that temperature significantly influenced the bioconcentration of temazepam in perch, as well as its biotransformation and accumulation of its metabolite oxazepam. In contrast, dragonfly larvae showed no temperature dependency for temazepam bioconcentration and no detectable biotransformation leading to oxazepam accumulation.

Long-term thermal acclimation drives adaptive physiological adjustments of a marine gastropod to reduce sensitivity to climate change

Jonathan Y. S. Leung et al.

Summary: Ocean warming is predicted to challenge marine organisms, especially when combined with ocean acidification. Thermal history determines the physiological adjustments of marine organisms to climate change, with warm-acclimated individuals conserving energy to adapt to warming. However, compensatory feeding disappears when warming is combined with ocean acidification.

Warming impairs trophic transfer efficiency in a long-term field experiment

Diego R. Barneche et al.

Summary: The study quantified the effect of experimental warming on freshwater plankton in artificial ponds, finding that a 4 degrees C temperature increase can significantly decrease trophic transfer efficiency and reduce the biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton. These changes indicate major shifts in energy uptake, transformation, and transfer in ecosystems, with implications for larger consumers and overall ecosystem functioning.
