Gastrointestinal tissue as a new target of pollution exposure

Erika Pambianchi et al.

Summary: Airborne pollution, particularly particulate matter (PM), has been shown to have adverse effects on human health, not only causing respiratory diseases but also leading to gastrointestinal complications. The relationship between respiratory and GI conditions, known as the lung-gut axis, has become clearer during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparison of fitness effects in the earthworm Eisenia fetida after exposure to single or multiple anthropogenic pollutants

Anja Holzinger et al.

Summary: Terrestrial ecosystems are threatened by anthropogenic pollutants, including pesticides, fertilizers, heavy metals, particulate matter, and microplastics. This study focuses on the effects of multiple pollutants on soil-dwelling earthworms, particularly their survival, body weight, reproductive fitness, and oxidative stress. The results reveal that the combination of pollutants can have different effects than their individual effects, and the identity and concentration of the pollutants play a significant role in determining the combined effects.

LSEA Evaluation of Lipid Mediators of Inflammation in Lung and Cortex of Mice Exposed to Diesel Air Pollution

Luca Massimino et al.

Summary: Airborne ultrafine particles (UFPs) pose a significant risk to health, as they have been linked to increased cardiovascular mortality, neurodegenerative diseases, and occupational and environmental morbidity. In this study, the researchers investigated the impact of acute and subacute exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) on polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipid mediators (LMs) in mouse lung and cortex. The findings suggest that lipids play a crucial role in DEP-induced tissue damage, as they are associated with inflammatory processes and oxidative stress.

Honeybee colonies compensate for pesticide-induced effects on royal jelly composition and brood survival with increased brood production

Matthias Schott et al.

Summary: Exposure to clothianidin affected worker jelly production and increased larval mortality, but population size of capped brood remained stable, showing short-term resilience. However, computer simulations of full size colonies revealed increased brood initiation led to severe reductions in colony reproduction and long-term survival. This experiment highlights social regulatory mechanisms that enable honeybees to compensate for individual-level effects at the colony level.

Environmental Risk Assessment of Vehicle Exhaust Particles on Aquatic Organisms of Different Trophic Levels

Konstantin Pikula et al.

Summary: Vehicle emission particles (VEPs) pose a significant threat to marine aquatic organisms, with high concentrations causing harmful effects on microalgae and crustaceans. The combination of high submicron particle numbers and high PAH concentrations had the highest toxic effect on all tested species.

Long-term data shows increasing dominance of Bombus terrestris with climate warming

Lina Herbertsson et al.

Summary: In southernmost Sweden, the relative abundance of Bombus terrestris has increased significantly over the past 150 years, largely due to rising temperatures. The activity period of males has also advanced by 41 days, indicating better adaptation of Bombus terrestris to contemporary conditions.

Immune properties of invertebrate phenoloxidases*

Lage Cerenius et al.

Summary: Melanin production by different types of phenoloxidases provides immunity to a variety of pathogens, while proPO in arthropods exhibits multiple activities such as cytokine and microbiocidal activities. Pathogens influence proPO activation and the types of immune effects produced.

Lethal, behavioral, growth and developmental toxicities of alkyl-PAHs and non-alkyl PAHs to early-life stage of brine shrimp, Artemia parthenogenetica

Yi Cong et al.

Summary: Alkyl-PAHs showed higher acute toxicity compared to their non-alkyl forms, with 3-mPhe and 2-mAnt being more toxic than Phe and Ant. The study also found a strong correlation between body length and instar of Artemia parthenogenetica nauplii, suggesting that body length could be a representative indicator for growth and development during biological monitoring of PAH pollution in the marine environment.

Larval oral exposure to thiacloprid: Dose-response toxicity testing in solitary bees, Osmia spp. (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)

Gregor Claus et al.

Summary: This study validated a test protocol to assess the effects of pesticide exposure on larval development in two solitary bee species. It found that higher doses of the neonicotinoid insecticide thiacloprid led to increased developmental mortality, longer larval development time, reduced pollen provision consumption, and lighter cocoon weight in both bee species. The results demonstrated that the test protocol was valid and robust, and highlighted the need for further insights, such as testing positive controls and selecting male and female individuals at the egg level, in developing a standardized test protocol.
