Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria Alexandra Bighiu"
- Maria Alexandra Bighiu's research primarily focuses on the impact of environmental pollutants, such as pesticides and heavy metals, on aquatic ecosystems, emphasizing the interactions between contaminants and freshwater organisms like biofilms, macroinvertebrates, and snails.
- Recent studies highlight the rapid degradation of common herbicides in the presence of freshwater biofilms and investigate the short-term effects of pesticide mixtures on these biofilms, underscoring the importance of understanding ecosystem responses to chemical stressors.
- Bighiu's work also includes assessing microbial contamination and the impact of metal pollution from sources such as antifouling paints, revealing significant ecological impacts and potential risks to aquatic life in both natural and disturbed environments.
