“…As a colony forming unit (CFU) assay in a particular test solution is a measure of the reproductive ability of E. coli, its growth inhibition bioassay can be measured by counting the CFU. A CFU-based bioassay is a reliable measure of biotoxicity [10] and has been applied in several of our earlier studies. [4][5][6]11]…”

The present study reports two important aspects of wastewater treatment by UVC light (λ = 254 nm) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (HP) and ammonium persulphate (APS) taking Calconcarboxylic acid (CCA) as a model pollutant. The first part deals with the effect of various operational parameters on the decolourization and mineralization of CCA. Most importantly, the eco‐toxicological effect of the treated solutions was examined on the basis of E. coli growth inhibition bioassay and the remedy for the same has been suggested in the second part. Although both oxidants show higher mineralization at pH 1, APS is preferred over HP for having higher mineralization, biodetoxification, and electrical energy efficiency. The presence of –COOH group in CCA has detrimental effect on its mineralization and biodetoxification, as well as on the electrical energy efficiency. Although a rise in mineralization at all pH is observed by the removal of the –COOH group, it is significant in alkaline media. Since treatment at pH 1 is not ideal for real scale applications, it is advisable to remove the –COOH group before treatment, so as to make treatment possible in alkaline media. Removal of –COOH group also leads to higher biodetoxification in a shorter treatment period.

The exposure to pesticides by nontarget soil biota has long been regarded as a serious downside of modern agricultural regimes and the subject of heated debate. Of utmost relevance is the exposure to pesticide mixtures because their effects have been shown to not necessarily reflect the individual toxicity of their components, and even the simple addition of effects may lead to consequences not clearly anticipated. In the present study, a multiple biomarker approach was employed to identify the mechanistic and time effects underlying several single and mixture treatments of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and mancozeb (MCZ) in juveniles and adults of the terrestrial isopod Porcellionides pruinosus. The effects of the individual pesticides and the mixtures at recommended doses were mostly transitory under these controlled conditions and one-pulse exposure. Whereas imbalances were identified on detoxification and oxidative stress-related enzymes, the isopods generally showed the ability to recover through the end of the experiment. However, juveniles displayed greater vulnerability than adults. Most of the differences between life stages occurred in energy-related parameters where distinct performances and stress-handling behaviors were observed, suggesting higher metabolic costs to juveniles. Our results stress that understanding the time dependence of the underlying mechanisms governing the joint effects of the pesticides can help in assessing and anticipating the effects of the pesticide mixtures. Moreover, we emphasize the importance of taking life stage-related differences into consideration when evaluating the environmental risks of pesticides and pesticide mixtures.
