“…The aquatic plants such as Lemna minor L. has been reported to accumulate toxic metals and is therefore used as an experimental model to investigate the accumulation of heavy metals. The study shows that the Lemna minor L., accumulates considerable amounts of Zn, Cu and Ni without any symptoms of toxicity [44].…”

The market expansion due to globalization generated more anthropogenic contaminants, enhancing their negative impact on the environment. In order to prevent and balanced their negative effect, more rapid, sensitive and eco-friendly ecotoxicological studies as risk assessments were developed. Each country developed national programs to ensure the research infrastructure for implementation and development of new testing methodologies, generating new experimental data transferable to governmental authorities, economic agents and academia. In this review, we intend to highlighted the progress of Romanian researchers in the last 10 years in the field of ecotoxicology and aquatic risk assessment. The studies focused on aquatic systems as a non-targeted system to the anthropogenic pollutants impact. The implemented methodologies according with international requirements for chemical control like REACH Regulation, Detergents Regulation, Biocide Products Regulation or the Aquatic Risk Assessment Guidelines were presented. The ecotoxicological effects of various contaminants such as detergents, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, biocides or heavy metals and environmental polluted samples (surface water, sediment or sludge) were provided. Overall, the studies presented in our studies have a nationally novelty through the variety of test substances, the complexity of laboratory experiments and data processing. The research work has a continue applicability in industry and for control authorities. New accredited testing services that providing useful information about the chemicals and their impact on the environmental were introduced. In addition, the ecotoxicology studies and their challenges were a great source for professional training like PhD and master studies and for impact published papers.

This paper presents the ecological state of large areas of the Bega and Timis River basins, evaluated based on physical-chemical parameters of water samples in relation to the anthropogenic sources of pollution that occur along these rivers. For the monitoring program, twelve sampling points on the Bega and ten sampling points on the Timis were established in order to determine surface water quality. The potential sources of pollution were highlighted by a downstream vs. upstream analysis. Ecological conditions have been assessed taking into account the national legislation, which transposes the Water Framework Directive on promoting the sustainable use of water based on the long-term protection of water resources. The main sources of pollution were related to the discharges from localities and industry, but the current ecological status of the two water bodies analyzed is in a relatively good state.
