“…This feeding strategy is common in zooplankton organisms. This and other features make A. salina an excellent model organism for the study of MPs pollution influence on zooplanktonic trophic webs, as already suggested by other authors [79,80]. Moreover, these organisms are involved in biomagnification phenomena [29,48].…”

In the present study, it has been evaluated how 10 µm of polyethylene microspheres can be ingested by Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758) larvae within the first 7 days of the life cycle, and the impact on their health. Twelve A. salina larvae (instar I) groups were exposed to different microplastics (MPs) concentrations (0-1-10-102-103-104 MPs/mL), with and without Dunaliella salina as a food source. The results highlighted that A. salina larvae ingest MPs in relation to the exposure times in a dose-dependent manner and are significantly influenced by food availability. The highest contamination found was 306.2 MPs/individual at 104 MPs/mL exposure without a food source. No MPs were found in the presence of the food source from 1 to 102 MPs/mL, while contamination was detected at all concentrations of MPs without a food source. The worst effect on the developmental stages was evaluated at 168 h with a food source, with a delay compared to the control of I and II instars at 103 and 104 MPs/mL, respectively. Furthermore, microalgal feeding was significantly reduced for about 50% in the presence of 104 MPs/mL. These results highlight that aquatic microplastics pollution could affect the A. salina’s feeding behavior and life cycle.

“…The antioxidant capacity was evaluated through the Ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assay on each of the five sprouts per condition, following the procedure reported in George et al [ 82 ], modified by Motta et al [ 83 ]: 250 mg of the fresh sample from each hypocotyl were ground in liquid nitrogen and treated with methanol/water (60/40, v / v ) solution. Samples were then centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected for the assay.…”

In the last decades, there has been a growing interest in the production of sprouts, since they are a highly nutritious food, particularly suitable for indoor farming in urban areas. Achieving sprout production in indoor systems requires an understanding of possible alterations induced by the microclimate. The aim of this study was to analyze the combined effect of presence/absence of light and high/low air relative humidity (RH) on mung bean sprouts. Morpho-anatomical development and functional anatomical traits in hypocotyl were quantified. The content of antioxidants, soluble sugars, and starch were measured for nutritional and functional purposes. Different RH regimes mainly induced morpho-anatomical modifications, while the presence/absence of light changed the content of antioxidant compounds. Increments in stele diameter at high RH suggest a higher water uptake and conductivity, compared to the low RH treatment; low RH and light induced anatomical traits improving plant water transport (reduced number of cortical layers) and increased the production of antioxidants. The overall results suggested that RH and light, already at the early stages of development, affect the plant’s nutritional value. Therefore, the combination of light and low RH allows the production of antioxidant-rich mung bean sprouts to be used as a food supplement.

“…Dyes are one of the potential environmental pollutants and are under major consideration for environmental scientists. The synthetic dyes and their intermediates cause release of carcinogens, teratogens and mutagens in the life system, that's why their removal from public sector is very important [1][2][3]. Azo dyes possess R-N=N-R′ formula units, in which R and R ′ can possibly be either alkyl or aryl groups.…”

Dyes, being potential pollutants, need alarming attention for their degradation from wastewater. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are among the most effective methodology for the degradation of pollutants. In the present study, the heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts (ZnFe 2 O 4 and graphene oxide based ZnFe 2 O 4 composite) were prepared and used to study the degradation of synzol red reactive dye. The prepared catalysts were well characterized by using SEM, FTIR and XRD analysis. The effect of various parameters like pH, catalysts dosage, H 2 O 2 dosage, effect of dye concentration and irradiation time during heterogeneous photo-Fenton processes was studied. The results showed 57% and 94% degradation of dye under optimized conditions (e.g. pH=3, Catalysts dose=75 mg l −1 for ZnFe 2 O 4 and 50 mg l −1 for GO-ZnFe 2 O 4 , H 2 O 2 dose=27 mM and irradiation time of 60 min) was observed for ZnFe 2 O 4 and GO-ZnFe 2 O 4 , respectively. A comparison of degradation potential of catalysts using various light sources like UV-254 nm, ambient solar light and white LED, was studied. The current findings support the application of solar and LED light for the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. The stability and reusability of these catalysts for the degradation of the dye were also studied. The GO-ZnFe 2 O 4 composite showed negligible iron leaching and no considerable reduction in degradation efficiency upto six consecutive cycles of reusability. It has been found that the composite (GO-ZnFe 2 O 4 ) showed enhanced degradation of dye as compared to ZnFe 2 O 4 .
