Toxicity and subcellular fractionation of yttrium in three freshwater organisms : Daphnia magna, Chironomus riparius and Oncorhynchus mykiss
(American Chemical Society, 2019-08-15)
The demand for rare earth elements (REEs) has increased since the 1990s leading to the development of many mining projects worldwide. However, less is known about how organisms can handle these metals in natural aquatic ...
Role of prey subcellular distribution on the bioaccumulation of yttrium (Y) in the rainbow trout
(Elsevier, 2019-12-13)
Our knowledge of the processes leading to the bioaccumulation of rare earth elements (REE) in aquatic biota is limited. As the contamination of freshwater ecosystems by anthropogenic REE have recently been reported, it ...
Mercury and selenium distribution in key tissues and early life stages of Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(Elsevier, 2019-07-26)
Whereas early life stages are usually considered as particularly sensitive to both organic and inorganic contaminants, field studies assessing contaminant bioaccumulation in these stages are scarce. Selenium (Se) is thought ...
An ecological microsystem to treat waste oil contaminated soil: Using phytoremediation assisted by fungi and local compost, on a mixed-contaminant site, in a cold climate
(Elsevier, 2019-03-29)
As a result of anthropization and industrialization, northern remote communities face issues of soil contamination by mixtures of organic and inorganic contaminants. Soil bioremediation in cold environments is particularly ...
The fish or the egg : maternal transfer and subcellular partitioning of mercury and selenium in Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(Elsevier, 2019-04-17)
Mercury (Hg) is a trace element of particular concern since it is ubiquitous in the environment and because its methylated form (MeHg) readily bioaccumulates and biomagnifies in food webs. This latter process leads to ...
