Summary: Pesticide exposure is a major threat to insect pollinators. This study examined the effects of sublethal concentrations of sulfoxaflor, thiacloprid, and thiamethoxam on the behavior of buff-tailed bumblebees. The results showed that only thiamethoxam impaired the bees' ability to improve in training tasks. This pilot assay provides a new tool for identifying subtle pesticide impacts on forager bees, which current ecotoxicological tests cannot assess.

Summary: This study investigates the joint toxicity of arsenic and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on earthworms. The results show that the coexistence of As(V) and PFOS increases the bioavailability of As(V) while decreasing the bioavailability of PFOS in soil. As exposure levels increase, earthworms experience growth inhibition and oxidative damage. The Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) index, combined with two mixture toxicity indices, is an effective method for characterizing toxicity interactions in binary mixtures.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) are a major environmental threat to marine organisms and ecosystems on a global scale. This study focused on the impacts of MPs accumulation in Litopenaeus vannamei, showing that MPs accumulate in various organs and have negative effects on growth, swimming behavior, and swimming performance of the shrimp. MPs exposure also led to oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and hepatopancreatic damage, which worsened with increasing MPs concentrations. Metabolomics analysis revealed alterations in metabolic profiles and disrupted glycolysis, lipolysis, and amino acid metabolism pathways in the hepatopancreas of L. vannamei. This research enhances our understanding of the sublethal impacts and toxic modes of action of MPs in L. vannamei.

Summary: In this study, the combination of polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) and compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) was used to trace in situ pesticide degradation in surface waters. The results showed that POCIS enables preconcentration and accurate recording of the carbon isotope signatures of common pesticides under simulated surface water conditions. Simulated rainfall events of pesticide runoff affected the carbon isotope signatures of pesticides in POCIS. The POCIS-CSIA method proved to be a unique opportunity to evaluate the contribution of degradation to the overall dissipation of pesticides in surface waters.

Summary: To date, there have been few studies analyzing the propagation of uncertainty in a hydroclimatic modelling chain for subsurface drainage hydrology. This study conducted such an analysis in a representative French drainage site using 30 climate projections under three representative concentration pathways. Three hydrological models and parameter sets were used to quantify uncertainties in hydrological components. Results showed that the main source of uncertainty came from climate models, while the contribution of hydrological components to the uncertainty was negligible.

Summary: Due to changes in aquatic risk assessment in the marketing authorization process in France, the contamination of surface water through subsurface drainage is better addressed. The prohibition of selected pesticides on drained plots is a risk management measure. However, there is a scarcity of herbicide solutions for subsurface-drained plots, leading to challenges in autumn weed management for winter cropping systems on drained plots. The study emphasizes the relevance of time application management and proposes a conservative measure based on an indicator of soil profile saturation before drainage flow.

Summary: Preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services is crucial for sustainable development and human well-being. However, the use of plant protection products (PPP) has led to an alarming decline in biodiversity. A scientific assessment was conducted by a panel of experts, exploring the impacts of PPP on biodiversity and ecosystem services. The assessment revealed that PPP contaminates various environmental matrices and has clear ecotoxicological effects, causing the decline of certain biological groups and altering ecosystem functions and services. The study suggests local actions and regulatory improvements to mitigate PPP-driven pollution, but highlights the need for further research to understand its full impact.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.
