“…When the PHE concentration was 0.2 mg/kg, desorbed and degraded PHE were 96.8% and 84.9%, respectively, within 2 hr with ozone concentration of 0.6 mg/L, since the PHE removal mechanisms were supported by desorption and degradation of pollutants by released and free oxidant. Arambourou et al (2019) examined the metabolic change, cellular effects, anatomical discrepancy and whole-organisms' reaction of Chironomus riparius, a well-known widely used biomarker for water and sediment toxicity, when exposed to contaminated sediment by metals, PAHs, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), phthalates, and pesticides collected from three locations, that is, MON, PAR, and ECH; and biochemical response, for example, lipidomic analysis, gene expression related with growth and reproduction, endocrine disruption pathways, cell stress response, enzyme activities, energy generation and storage mechanisms and biotransformation processes; physiological response such as respiration rate; teratogenic property such as shape markers; life cycle parameters such as emergence rate and male/female ratio were evaluated by the research group but no apparent links among molecular, cellular, shape and physiological marker were evaluated. Endocrine disruption pathways, hormone ecdysone activity with signaling mechanism, genetic cascade disruption for hormonal pathway, vitellogenin (vtg) disturbance were articulated due to contaminant exposure; moreover, cell viability with protein translation, folding, unfolding, translocation and degradation gene upregulation were identified where this upregulation was responsible for defense mechanisms for protecting cellular components against external environmental stress and hazard.…”
