Article Synopsis
- The study tested five conazole fungicides (CFs) on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the aquatic insect Chironomus riparius to assess acute toxicity and multigenerational effects, finding low acute toxicity but significant negative reproductive impacts on nematodes over multiple generations, especially with epoxiconazole.* -
- All generations of nematodes exposed to epoxiconazole showed decreasing reproductive efficiency, with effects worsening from the F0 to F1 generation, while other CFs like uniconazole and diniconazole also demonstrated adverse effects related to their persistence in soil.* -
- Bioaccumulation studies revealed that earthworms preferentially accumulated R-uniconazole over S-un
Herbicides and their metabolites are often detected in water bodies where they may cause adverse effects to non-target organisms. Their effects at environmentally relevant concentrations are often unclear, especially concerning mixtures of pesticides. This study thus investigated the impacts of one of the most used herbicides: S-metolachlor and its two metabolites, metolachlor oxanilic acid (MOA) and metolachlor ethanesulfonic acid (MESA) on the development of zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio).

The present study investigated the sensitivity of Chironomus riparius to imidacloprid exposures during 24-h, 10- and 28-days by assessing larval survival, growth, emergence and oxidative stress-related parameters.
