“…Nicotine has been found to reduce fecundity in daphnids by decreasing the number of neonates released per individual. It also triggers the production of male offspring [ 48 ] and induces antenna, carapace and spine malformations [ 49 ] in daphnids. In our study, nicotine decreased the activities of peptidase, LDH and GST, and the latter could indicate a possible induction of stress in daphnids.…”

The continuous global increase in population and consumption of resources due to human activities has had a significant impact on the environment. Therefore, assessment of environmental exposure to toxic chemicals as well as their impact on biological systems is of significant importance. Freshwater systems are currently under threat and monitored; however, current methods for pollution assessment can neither provide mechanistic insight nor predict adverse effects from complex pollution. Using daphnids as a bioindicator, we assessed the impact in acute exposures of eight individual chemicals and specifically two metals, four pharmaceuticals, a pesticide and a stimulant, and their composite mixture combining phenotypic, biochemical and metabolic markers of physiology. Toxicity levels were in the same order of magnitude and significantly enhanced in the composite mixture. Results from individual chemicals showed distinct biochemical responses for key enzyme activities such as phosphatases, lipase, peptidase, β-galactosidase and glutathione-S-transferase. Following this, a more realistic mixture scenario was assessed with the aforementioned enzyme markers and a metabolomic approach. A clear dose-dependent effect for the composite mixture was validated with enzyme markers of physiology, and the metabolomic analysis verified the effects observed, thus providing a sensitive metrics in metabolite perturbations. Our study highlights that sensitive enzyme markers can be used in advance on the design of metabolic and holistic assays to guide the selection of chemicals and the trajectory of the study, while providing mechanistic insight. In the future this could prove to become a useful tool for understanding and predicting freshwater pollution.

“…Specically, acute exposure to nicotine affects the reproductive and nervous system of Daphnia magna by causing the production of male offspring and immobility. 41,42 Other studies also demonstrated adverse effects on the heart rate and decreased activity of several enzymes. 25,29 Additionally, neonicotinoids, insecticides that resemble nicotine, were found to reduce the swimming and thoracic limb activity of Daphnia magna.…”

“…Therefore, according to the results obtained in relation to the non-detection of nicotine and the low presence of heavy metals in filtered water, it is noted that the concentrations of metals found were not sufficient to influence the development of D. magna. The nicotine is highly toxic to D. magna, it interrupts the neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction ( Chen et al 2018;Vlasceanu et al 2015).…”

This study aimed to evaluate a nonwoven (NW) production and performance from cellulose acetate fiber from cigarette butts andapplied to a filtration system for surface water pre-treatment. The system had a surface area of 692 cm³, cellulose acetate from cigarette butt as filter media, was used and was fed with surface water from a pond. In order to evaluate the treatment performance of the filtration system were evaluated in the raw water (RW) and the filtered water (FW) the classical parameter of water quality as turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), apparent color, true color, and total organic carbon (TOC) and heavy metals (iron, copper, and cadmium). Moreover, the presence of nicotine was investigated in the FW. The results showed a mean removal efficiency in order to 62.01%, 54.42%, 50.36 %, 6.73%, and 5.20% for turbidity, TSS, apparent color, true color, and TOC, respectively. The removal of metals varied in the order of 72.26%, 9.61%, and 2.12% for cadmium, iron, and copper, respectively. The presence of nicotine in RW and FW was not identified. In this way, besides reducing the negative environmental impacts caused by cigarette butts present in the environment, the developed technology showed potential for removing pollutants present in surface waters.
