Traditional textile dyeing processes usually require large quantities of water and energy and generate wastewater that can be harmful to the environment. Dyeing in supercritical carbon dioxide (sc‐CO 2 ) media is promising in textile coloration due especially to it providing a waterless process and eliminating the need for an energy intensive dryin...

N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-quinone), an oxidation product of the tire additive, 6PPD, has been associated with high mortality of salmonids (0.1 μg/L). The objective of this study was to determine the acute toxicity using neonates and mutagenicity (micronuclei in hemolymph of exposed adults) of 6PPD-quinone in t...

Hemocytes are circulating blood cells that play a crucial function in amphipods and other crustacean immune systems. The hemocytes of the marine tropical amphipod Parhyale hawaiensis have been used for the evaluation of DNA damage and micronuclei, but they have not been characterized in the scientific literature. The aim of this study was to descri...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are widely used in several applications including as antifouling agents; therefore, they can end up in estuarine and marine environments. These nanoparticles tend to aggregate and to deposit in the sediment, where many organisms feed and reproduce. Parhyale hawaiensis is an epibenthic amphipod globally distributed in tro...

Near-shore marine/estuarine environments play an important role in the functioning of the marine ecosystem and are extremely vulnerable to the presence of chemical pollution. The ability to investigate the effects of pollution is limited by a lack of model organisms for which sufficient ecotoxicological information is available, and this is particu...

Sperm quantity/quality are significant reproductive endpoints with clear links to population level dynamics. Amphipods are important model organisms in environmental toxicology. Despite this, field monitoring of male fertility in invertebrates has rarely been used in monitoring programs. The aim of this study was to compare sperm quality/quantity i...

Aquaculture production is continuously growing worldwide, and marine fish farming in Brazil is still in its infancy. Intensive farming conditions may cause physiological stress to the cultured organism, which can be evaluated by citogenotoxic biomarkers. The aim of this study was to assess the genotoxic effect of the rearing conditions in red blood...

The expression of Hsp70 and p53, by applying the immunohistochemical assays, was assessed in Antarctic amphipods Godondogeneia antarctica from shallow waters around the Brazilian Antarctic Station “Comandante Ferraz” (EACF), in two distinct samplings. Intensity of expression was evaluated as the HSCORE of preparations from animals sampled nearby th...

Séries de biomonitoramentos foram executadas semanalmente, durante o mês de fevereiro de 2012, para se investigar a genotoxicidade de ambientes costeiros rasos no entorno da Estação Antártica "Comandante Ferraz (EACF). O ensaio cometa foi aplicado para se avaliar os danos ao DNA hemocitário de crustáceos anfípodes Gondogeneia antarctica coletados e...
