“…The interaction studies on Pb+Cu, Pb+Zn, Hg+Cu, Hg+Zn and Ni+Cu were fewer, and those on Cu+Cr, Pb+Mn, Hg+Mn, Cr+Mn, Ni+Zn and Ni+Mn, etc. were rare (Charles et al, 2013;Cooper et al, 2009;Frias-Espericueta et al, 2009;Fulladosa et al, 2005;Mebane et al, 2012;Prato and Biandolino, 2007;Prato et al, 2013).…”

“…Numerous binary heavy metal mixtures have been tested, with an increase in studies of three or more component metal mixtures, but still insufficient. For example, based on the Cd, Cu and Hg (48 h median lethal concentration [LC 50 ]) values, Prato et al () studied the toxicity of their binary and tertiary equitoxic mixtures on the copepod, Tigriopus fulvus . Based on the sea urchin embryonic toxicity tests of a single metal, Xu et al () assessed the toxic interaction of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd ions in binary, tertiary and quaternary mixtures, with a total of 11 combinations.…”

With rapid industrialization, China is now facing great challenges in heavy metal contamination in the environment. Human exposure to heavy metals through air, water and food commonly involves a mixture consisting of multiple heavy metals. In this study, eight common heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cr, Ni) that cause environmental contamination were selected to investigate the combined toxicity of different heavy metal mixtures in HL7702 cells. Toxicity (24 h LC50 ) of each individual metal on the cells ranked Hg > Cr = Cd > Cu > Zn > Ni > Mn > Pb; toxicity of the different mixtures ranked: M5 > M3PbHgCd > M5+Mn > M5+Cu > M2CdNi > M4A > M8-Mn > M8 > M5+Zn > M4B > M8-Cr > M8-Zn > M8-Cu > M8-Pb > M8-Cd > M8-Hg > M8-Ni > M3PbHgNi > M3CuZnMn. The cytotoxicity data of individual metals were successfully used to build the additive models of two- to eight-component metal mixtures. The comparison between additive model and combination model or partly additive model was useful to evaluate the combined effects in mixture. Synergistic, antagonistic or additive effects of the toxicity were observed in different mixtures. These results suggest that the combined effects should be considered in the risk assessment of heavy metal co-exposure, and more comprehensive investigations on the combined effects of different heavy metal mixtures are needed in the future.

“…The aim of our research was to investigate the potential acute (mortality) and sub-chronic (mortality, larval development and moult release number, and adult percentage after 5-9 days) toxicity of derelict plastic tubular nets in the microplastics form using the marine copepod Tigriopus fulvus as a reference biological model being a primary consumer living at the sediment-water interface (Faraponova et al 2005(Faraponova et al , 2016Mariani et al 2006;Prato et al 2011Prato et al , 2015Prato et al , 2012Prato et al , 2013Prato et al , 2020Tornambè et al 2012). Derelict plastic tubular nets were analysed considering five main colours (BN, YN, GN, PN, and WN) to investigate any potential relation between plastic colour and potential observed toxicity.…”

Microplastic debris from direct and indirect human activities is considered a major threat to the marine biodiversity mainly due to its abundance, durability, persistence, and ability to accumulate contaminants from the environment. Derelict tubular plastic nets of various colours (blue (BN), yellow (YN), green (GN), pink (PN), and white (WN) net), used to distinguish mussel farming owners, were collected by scuba-dive from the Mar Piccolo of Taranto (Ionian Sea). All nets were made of polypropylene. Investigations looked for potential acute (mortality) and sub-chronic (mortality, larval development and moult release number, and adult percentage after 5–9 days) effects on Tigriopus fulvus nauplii considering both whole plastics (microplastic (MP), 50 mg/L) and leachates (12.5–100%). Acute test determined a median lethal concentration (LC50) only for BN for both MPs (107 mg/L) and leachates (50.1%). The prolonged exposure (5 days) to microplastics did not affect the T. fulvus survival. After 9 days, YN and BN decreased of approximately 100% larval development. Graphical abstract

“…They play a key role in the marine food webs and their energy flow, acting as both prey and predator at various trophic levels, frequently in the sedimentary facies, thus being a potential target of NPs (Prato et al 2020). Among them, members of the Gammaridae family are often utilized to assess ecotoxicity due to their sensitivity and availability in the area, such as Gammarus aequicauda (Prato et al 2013(Prato et al , 2015, which is why we chose it for the present study. This species plays an important role both in the trophic web and in the organic matter recycling of underlying sediment (Cottiglia et al 1983).…”

Due to the continuous development, production and consumption of nanoparticles (NPs), their release, fate and effects in marine coastal environment can represent a major concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and compare it to bulk ZnSO4 on three macroinvertebrates: the isopod Cymodoce truncata (i.e. used for the first time in ecotoxicology), the amphipod Gammarus aequicauda and the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. This study showed concentration- and time-dependent relationships for all biological models for both ZnO NPs and ZnSO4. Both Zn forms elicited high toxicity to G. aequicauda and C. truncata juveniles, but ZnO NPs induced comparable responses to both species (96h-LC50 = 0.30 and 0.37 mg/L for G. aequicauda and C. truncata, respectively; p > 0.05), while differences were found after ZnSO4 exposure (96h-LC50 = 0.28 and 0.63 mg/L, respectively; p < 0.05). ZnO NPs generated sub-lethal effects on P. lividus embryos (72h-EC50 = 0.04 (0.03, 0.05) mg/L), not significantly different from ZnSO4 ones (72h-EC50 = 0.06 (0.05, 0.07) mg/L). Effects of ZnO NPs were similar to existing literature data for other testing species. C. truncata can be considered as a promising new biological model in (nano)ecotoxicology. Graphical abstract
