Dithiocarbamate (DTC) fungicides are contaminants that are ubiquitous in the environment. Exposure to DTC fungicides has been associated with a variety of teratogenic developmental effects. Propineb, a member of DTCs, was evaluated for the toxicological effects on notochord and craniofacial development, osteogenesis in zebrafish model.

Exposure to environmental contaminants frequently induces the occurrence of blood diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are scarcely known. The toxicity of Diflovidazin (DFD), a widely used mite-remover, to the blood system of non-target organisms requires urgent elucidation. To investigate the deleterious effects of DFD (2, 2.

The operation of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) modifies downstream flow and sediment regimes, triggering disproportional fluvial responses at different distances downstream. However, our understanding of the downstream geomorphic changes in the middle-lower Yangtze River remains incomplete due to the complexity of the river responses across temporal and spatial scales. Here, we leverage data on discharge, suspended sediment concentration (SSC), riverbed grain size, cross-sectional profiles and high-resolution channel bathymetric maps at different locations downstream of the TGD to investigate geomorphic responses.

It is known that channel engineering, including the construction of piers, will change the river hydrodynamic characteristics, which is a significant factor affecting the transport process of pollutants. With this regard, this study uses the well-validated and tested hydrodynamic module and transport module of MIKE 21 to simulate the hydrodynamics and water quality under various pier densities in the Wuhan reach. Hydrodynamic changes around the piers show spatial differences, which are similar under different discharges.
