Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on the aquatic environment associated with disinfection byproducts and pharmaceuticals

Zhong Zhang, Yang Zhou, Lanfang Han, Xiaoyu Guo, Zihao Wu, Jingyun Fang, Banglei Hou, Yanpeng Cai, Jin Jiang, Zhifeng Yang

Summary: In this study, the concentrations of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and COVID-19 related pharmaceuticals in waste-water effluents and surface water were measured before and after the lockdown in Wuhan. The study found that intensified disinfection during the COVID-19 pandemic had limited impacts on the occurrence of DBPs in the aquatic environment, but it led to a significant increase in concentrations of lopinavir and ritonavir. The research suggests the need for monitoring COVID-19 related pharmaceuticals and evaluating their ecotoxicities in the aquatic environment.

The Potential Impacts of Statins and Beta-Blockers on West Virginia Ichthyofauna

Joseph W. Kingsbury, Kyle J. Hartman

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of environmental concentrations of statins and beta-blockers on the health of wild fish. The results showed that these pharmaceuticals had a certain impact on the health condition of fish. There were differences in fish health metrics among different drugs and locations, indicating the influence of other factors. Further research is needed to examine the long-term effects of cardiovascular PPCPs on fish health, considering individual tissues and different exposure regimes.

Are synthetic glucocorticoids in the aquatic environment a risk to fish?

Charles M. Hamilton, Matthew J. Winter, Luigi Margiotta-Casaluci, Stewart F. Owen, Charles R. Tyler

Summary: Glucocorticosteroids, or glucocorticoids (GCs), play a central role in various physiological processes in vertebrates. Synthetic GCs, widely prescribed for therapeutic purposes, are detected extensively in aquatic environments. While most compounds pose insignificant risk to fish, some compounds are predicted to have moderate and high risk. The potential for mixture effects among GCs should also be considered, as they could have significant environmental impact. Further research is recommended to fully understand the environmental risk of these commonly prescribed drugs.

The need for more research into reproductive health and disease

Natalie D. Mercuri, Brian J. Cox

Summary: Reproductive diseases have a significant impact on human health, particularly on women's health, but there have been relatively few advancements in new treatments or diagnostics for these diseases in recent decades. Research articles and grants for non-reproductive organs outnumber those for reproductive organs, indicating a lack of focus on reproductive health and disease research. This highlights the importance of addressing this issue through action from funders, educators, and the research community.

The antineoplastic drugs cyclophosphamide and cisplatin in the aquatic environment ? Review

Vanessa Queiros, Ulisses M. Azeiteiro, Amadeu M. V. M. Soares, Rosa Freitas

Summary: This review summarizes the presence of cyclophosphamide and cisplatin in the aquatic environment and their effects on freshwater and marine invertebrates. Studies have shown that these antineoplastic drugs can have adverse effects on aquatic invertebrate species, including changes in reproductive function and oxidative stress. Monitoring studies need to be increased to better understand the occurrence and impacts of these drugs in aquatic environments, with a particular focus on marine ecosystems.

Different environment, different reproductive strategies? Unexpected field observations in the harvestmen Discocyrtus prospicuus (Laniatores: Gonyleptidae)

Patricia P. Iglesias, Martin O. Pereyra, Estefania Stanley, Carlos A. Toscano-Gadea, Abel Perez-Gonzalez

Summary: This study investigates the reproductive strategies of the harvestmen species Discocyrtus prospicuus in a tidal freshwater wetland. Contrary to the expected pattern, the study finds that males and females do not immediately separate after mating, but instead rest together. Females in this population lay eggs in small clutches, some of which contain eggs in different developmental stages. These findings expand the behavioral spectrum previously reported for this species and provide the basis for future research on the causes of these variations.

The fundamental need for unifying phenotypes in sudden unexpected pediatric deaths

Monica H. Wojcik, Annapurna H. Poduri, Ingrid A. Holm, Calum A. MacRae, Richard D. Goldstein

Summary: A definitive and authoritative evaluation of the causes of unexpected pediatric deaths remains elusive, leading to diagnoses of exclusion in most cases. Research has focused on sudden infant deaths and discovered various contributing factors, such as nonspecific pathology findings, associations with sleep position and environment, and the role of serotonin. However, current approaches have failed to substantially decrease mortality rates. Recently, epilepsy-related observations and genetic findings suggest the need for more intense and specific phenotyping efforts and an expanded role for genetic evaluation in postmortem investigation.

Do Pharmaceuticals in the Environment Pose a Risk to Wildlife?

Thomas G. G. Bean, Elizabeth A. A. Chadwick, Marta Herrero-Villar, Rafael Mateo, Vinny Naidoo, Barnett A. A. Ratter

Summary: The majority of knowledge on the risk of pharmaceuticals to wildlife comes from the Asian vulture crisis, where the use of diclofenac led to a severe decline in vulture populations. NSAIDs like diclofenac have been found to be hazardous to vultures and other avian species. While research on pharmaceutical exposure in birds is extensive, there are still knowledge gaps for amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.

Physiological Impacts on Raphidocelis subcapitata in Response to Lithiated Cobalt Oxide Nanomaterials

Eric Ostovich, Austin Henke, Curtis Green, Elizabeth Laudadio, Max Spehlmann, Nathan Van Ee, Jamie Uertz, Robert Hamers, Rebecca Klaper

Summary: Complex metal oxide nanomaterials, like lithiated cobalt oxide (LCO) nanosheets, are widely used in battery storage technology but their production without proper disposal/recycling infrastructure poses a risk to ecosystem health and sustainability. This study assessed the toxicological impacts of LCO on the growth and energy production of Raphidocelis subcapitata. Even at low concentrations, LCO significantly inhibited algal growth and caused cell cycle arrest. It also interfered with carbon assimilation chemistry and/or carbon partitioning, while increasing chlorophyll abundance to compensate for photosynthetic interference. The phytotoxicity of LCO was found to be mainly induced through nano-specific mechanisms. These findings highlight the potential implications of LCO nanomaterials on algal proliferation and energy production, as well as the importance of further understanding the molecular mechanisms at the nano-bio interface.
