“…In a previous study, we confirmed temperature as a trigger for reproductive output which affects the sensitivity of P. antipodarum towards a chemical stressor. [10] At 16 • C BPA significantly increased reproduction only at the highest test concentration (40 µg/L) whereas at 7 and 25 • C this effect already occurred at 10 µg/L.…”

“…Our density experiments took place between February and March when embryo numbers are well below the maximum. [10] Thus, high snail densities in breeding aquaria might be tolerable, given that renewals of ambient water take place more often than twice a week and, hence, ammonium concentrations do not increase.…”

“…In addition, 10 snails per replicate with 4 replicates per treatment were transferred to 800 mL DRP medium spiked with 12 µg Cd/L. According to Sieratowicz et al [10] a significant reduction of embryo numbers in the brood pouch can be expected at this concentration after 4 weeks' testing.…”

Molluscan species can be affected by various anthropogenic substances. Yet, these effects are disregarded in chemical risk assessment as molluscs are unrepresented in standard OECD guidelines. The project "validation of a mollusc reproduction test" (Federal Environment Agency, code 371165417) deals with the development of a test method with the mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum for OECD purposes. In this context, the influence on reproduction of both, different media and varying snail density, has been observed in independent experiments. Further, the impact of density on the outcome of subsequent cadmium (Cd) toxicity in a test has been investigated to refine the existing methodology. First, adult snails were kept in different test media for 12 weeks. Second, snail density was increased for 4 weeks to induce stress. Snails from each density scenario were used for another 4 weeks in a reproduction test at an equal density with 12 μg Cd/L, respectively. Significant differences in reproduction between medium groups were noted after 4 and 8, but not 12, weeks. Further, reproduction was significantly altered by snail density in the beakers but after subsequent 4 weeks at a constant density, no differences were observed between control groups. Cd reduced reproduction and this effect increased with snail density in the pre-exposure period, demonstrating that a previous stress factor may result in increased sensitivity to chemicals and underlines the need for more standardized breeding conditions to minimize effect variations. Based on the outcome of this study, an acclimatization period of 12 weeks must be guaranteed for specimens transferred to another medium. Further, 4 weeks of acclimatization are necessary after density stress. An additional 12 weeks density experiment showed that medium volume in each replicate can be decreased by half to save on chemicals, water and space during tests.

The adverse effects of electronic waste (e-waste) on the human body have stirred up concern in recent years. China is one of the countries that confront serious pollution and human exposure of e-waste, and the majority of the population is exposed to potentially hazardous substances that are derived from informal e-waste recycling processes. This study reviews recent reports on human exposure to e-waste in China, with particular focus on exposure routes (e.g., inhalation and ingestion) and several toxicities of human (e.g., endocrine system, respiratory system, reproductive system, developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and genetic toxicity). Pieces of evidence that associate e-waste exposure with human health effects in China are assessed. The role of toxic heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, and nickel) and organic pollutants (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs), bisphenol A (BPA)) on human health is also briefly discussed.

“…In addition, BPA could also be found in almost all humans sampled at any time, suggesting its constant and ubiquitous nature of exposure (Vandenberg et al, 2012). As an endocrine disruptor, BPA could cause multiple effects including reproductive toxicity (Sieratowicz et al, 2011), developmental toxicity (Lomb o et al, 2015), neurotoxicity (Wang et al, 2015), immunotoxicity (Lee and Lim, 2010), and mutagenicity (Lee et al, 2013b). Thus, BPA has been gaining more and more attention.…”
