Organisms are usually exposed to mixtures of emerging pollutants in aquatic environments. Due to their widespread use and environmental relevance, the individual and combined effects of the drugs azithromycin (AZT) and ivermectin (IVM) on the freshwater rotifer Lecane papuana and the euryhaline rotifer Proales similis were investigated. Rotifers showed greater sensitivity to IVM compared to AZT. The LC values of IVM and AZT for L. papuana and P. similis were 0.163 and 0.172 mg/L, and 13.52 and 20.00 mg/L, respectively. Population growth rates, assessed in chronic toxicity assays, responded negatively to increasing concentrations of both toxicants, either individually or in combination. Our results revealed two distinct combined toxicity responses: a strong synergistic effect in the freshwater rotifer and a marked antagonistic impact of the AZT-IVM mixtures in the euryhaline rotifer.

Aquatic organisms are typically exposed to chemical mixtures, including microplastics and metal(loid)s. However, most research has primarily focused on the toxicity of individual chemicals, potentially overestimating their risks to aquatic life. This study examined the combined effects of polymethylmethacrylate microplastics (PMMA-MPs) with As and Cu at environmentally relevant concentrations on the euryhaline rotifer Proales similis.

Cigarette butts have become one of the most common and persistent forms of debris in marine coastal areas, where they pose significant toxicity risks. This study investigated cigarette butt pollution along beaches of the Yellow Sea and used laboratory experiments to assess the toxicity of their leachate and fibers on the euryhaline rotifer Brachionus plicatilis. A pollution index confirmed pollution by this debris across all eight beaches surveyed, where the density of cigarette butts averaged 0.

Data regarding the effects of binary metal mixtures in marine zooplankton are scarce, particularly for rotifers. We examined the toxicity of 21 binary equitoxic mixtures of As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, and Zn on the euryhaline rotifer Proales similis. The toxic units (TU) revealed that 20 of these binary mixtures exhibited synergistic effects (TU < 1.

Chloroquine (CQ) has been widely used for many years against malaria and various viral diseases. Its important use and high potential to being persistent make it of particular concern for ecotoxicological studies. Here, we evaluated the toxicity of CQ alone and in combination with copper (Cu) to the euryhaline rotifer Proales similis.
