“…69 Changes in salinity can also significantly affect marine life and even little shifts as those affecting marine coastal waters have been recently reported to have serious effects on metabolism, oxidative status and immune responses of mussels. 70 Therefore, the absence of effects on the salinity and pH of seawater supports safe in situ applications of CNF and TOCNF.…”

“…In recent years, pharmaceuticals have become one of the most important environmental contaminants. Pharmaceuticals enter the aquatic environment as a consequence of their increasing use in human and veterinary medicine and incomplete removal during wastewater treatment processes [1][2][3][4][5].…”

The presence of pharmaceuticals in water bodies is associated with the increasing consumption of these substances and limited elimination from wastewater. Pharmaceutical residues and their metabolites may have an unfavorable impact on fish and other aquatic biota. As the purification of wastewater from tramadol is very limited and the knowledge on its effects on non-target organisms is low, we decided to assess the subchronic impact of tramadol hydrochloride on fish—on the mortality, growth and histopathology, together with the impact on selected indices of oxidative stress. The juvenile growth toxicity test was carried out on zebrafish (Danio rerio), in accordance with the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation Guidelines 215 (Fish, Juvenile Growth Test). The fish were exposed to a range of tramadol hydrochloride concentrations (0.2, 2, 20, 200 and 600 µg/L) for 28 days. The outcome of this study suggests that chosen concentrations of tramadol hydrochloride did not affect either mortality or growth (regarding weight, length and specific growth rate). However, the results of this study indicate that 28-day exposure can negatively influence selected indices of oxidative stress, which is a harmful imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in an organism. A significant increase was observed in glutathione S-transferase activity in the experimental group exposed to 2 µg/L tramadol hydrochloride, compared to the control. Moreover, lipid peroxidation was observed in groups exposed to 20 and 200 µg/L, in comparison to the control.

“…The persistence of the neonicotinoids, while on the one hand offers the possibility of long-term protection of agricultural activity, on the other hand makes us worry about disposal times and it is essential to see the effects of these pollutants on marine organisms such as bivalve mollusks. More precisely, physiological mechanisms that regulate stress-related responses are well characterized in species belonging to the genus Mytilus [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], which can accumulate and tolerate in their high levels of xenobiotics [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Particularly widely distributed in the Mediterranean Sea, both in coastal areas and in estuaries, is M. galloprovincialis, which is continuously exposed to anthropogenic compounds and is considered a valid bioaccumulator [38].…”

The use of pesticides in agriculture has always had a strong impact on environmental contamination. Since the 1990s, neonicotinoids have grown increasingly more popular, targeting specific receptors for insects, especially bees, which is why the use of some neonicotinoids has been banned. Much is known about the effects they have on insects, but very little about the effect they can have on non-target organisms. Several studies have shown how these neonicotinoids interact negatively with the normal physiology of aquatic organisms. For the genus Mytilus, even though the neonicotinoids did not show an interaction with specific receptors, a chronic and acute exposure to them causes damage. In these animals, a reduced production of byssus, alteration of the normal antioxidant systems and tissue damage have been found. Therefore, an analysis of the entire ecosystem in which the pollutant enters is of great importance in evaluating any possible alterations.
