Triclosan (TCS), a prevalent contaminant in aquatic ecosystems, has been identified as a potential threat to both aquatic biota and human health. Despite its widespread presence, research into the immunotoxic effects of TCS on aquatic organisms is limited, and the underlying mechanisms driving these effects remain largely unexplored. Herein, we investigated the developmental and immune toxicities of environmentally relevant concentrations of TCS in zebrafish, characterized by morphological anomalies, histopathological impairments, and fluctuations in cytological differentiation and biomarkers following both acute (from 6 to 72/120 hpf) and chronic exposure periods (from 30 to 100 dpf).

- - The study investigated how cyromazine, a chemical, is adsorbed by five different soil types from various regions in China, using batch equilibrium experiments.
- - The adsorption data aligns best with the Freundlich and Langmuir models, indicating different levels of cyromazine retention in the soils, with the highest binding occurring in Udic Isohumosols and Gleyic-Stagnic Anthrosols.
- - Results show a strong positive correlation between adsorption capacity (Kf values) and soil organic matter, and a significant negative correlation with soil pH, while the free energy of sorption suggests that the process is primarily physical rather than chemical.
