“…For instance, China's pulp and paper industry, contributing to 25% of global production, accounts for 18% of the country's wastewater emissions (Yu et al 2016). Similarly, the textile industry represents around 20% of global industrial water pollution (Colin et al 2016) However, the non-renewable energy sources that are the dominant source in most countries' electricity production (Abas et al 2015), are the principal cause of GHG emissions [13.2] (Höök and Tang 2013). This section's combustion of energy furthermore drives air pollution [3.9].…”

The success of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends on solving the 'nexus' challenge: how can positive interactions between SDGs be optimised, and negative interactions minimised, in order to create co-benefits and reduce trade-offs? Due to their varying impacts on the SDGs, the economic activities undertaken by organisations present a key lever for operationalising this SDG-nexus. Yet the interactions between individual economic activities and the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development have not been systematically assessed, thus creating a vital operational bottleneck to achieving the SDGs. This paper conducts a systematic review of 876 articles published between 2005 and 2019 to study the nexus between individual economic activities, sustainable development in general, and the SDGs in specific. It finds that studies on agricultural, industrial, and manufacturing activities predominantly report negative impacts on environmental development, while literature on services activities highlight economic and social contributions. Overall, most economic activities are expected to positively impact industrialization, infrastructure, and innovation [SDG 9] and economic productivity [SDG 8], while many help meet basic needs [SDGs 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11]. However, negative impacts are widespread, afflicting ecosystems [SDGs 14 and 15], climate change [SDG 13] and human health [SDG 3]. We synthesise positive and negative interactions between individual economic activities and SDG targets and discuss implications for: integrated (nexus) governance approaches to the SDGs; the role of the private sector in promoting sustainable development; and for improving statistical classifications to monitor economic activities' SDG impacts.

“…In the particular case of the small Ripoll river, the physical and biotic community characterisation (Colin et al 2016b), the presence of bioaccumulated metals (Maceda-Veiga et al 2012;2013;Merciai et al 2014) and that of organic contaminants (Blanco et al 2019;Soler et al 2020) in water and/or in fish has been previously documented.…”

Specimens of two endemic cyprinids, Squalius laietanus (Catalan chub) and Barbus meridionalis (Mediterranean barbel), were sampled from a reference site in a small stream of the Ripoll River (NW Mediterranean) outside of their reproductive season.Biomarkers involved in xenobiotic-mediated responses were individually contrasted in fish of both species and 17 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) analysed in muscle to reveal bioaccumulation trends. The parameters were in muscle: cholinesterases, metabolic lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and citrate synthase (CS); and in liver: cytochrome P450 dependent activities (EROD and BFCOD), carboxylesterase (CE), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT). All markers are considered adaptive defence mechanism to face stress. Sensitivity to a model pesticide: dichlorvos was also contrasted in vitro in muscular acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and hepatic CE to reveal species sensitivity to neurotoxic chemicals. Enzymatic activities related to protective mechanisms such as butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), CE and CAT were higher in chub whereas the antioxidant defences GR and GPX were higher in barbel. Aerobic CS was also higher in barbel while anaerobic LDH was so in chub. EROD activity did not differ between the two species but BFCOD activity was higher in barbel. Levels of PFAS were higher in barbel likely due to its benthic habitat. The in vitro tests revealed higher sensitivity to dichlorvos of muscular AChE in chub (lower IC50) which was probably compensated by a higher catalytic efficiency of CE. All these former biochemical particularities are discussed in terms of fish ecological performance in front of anthropogenic stressors.

“…A indústria têxtil produz variados tipos de resíduos (sólidos, líquidos e gasosos) provenientes da estação de tratamento de efluentes, da queima de biomassa, da produção de restos de tecidos, oriundos da lavagem das peças (COLIN et al, 2016). O efluente líquido apresenta tensoativos (substâncias com estrutura mista apolar e polar), matéria orgânica e saís dissolvidos.…”

O presente artigo analisa três organismos para verificar qual deve ser empregado como biomonitor (método bottom-up). A partir da análise das seguintes espécies: Aliivibrio fischeri, Daphnia magna e Scenedesmus subspicatus. Foram verificadas as características: taxonômia bem definida, tamanho da espécie, identificação por não especialistas, distribuição geográfica, ser abundante, baixa variabilidade ecológica/gênica, possibilidade de uso em laboratório, baixa mobilidade, longo ciclo de vida e característica ecológica bem conhecida. A partir desta, a Daphnia magna foi a que apresentou melhor pontuação nos atributos analisados. Este organismo já é um biomonitor amplamente utilizado para o monitoramento de efluentes têxteis, visto que as análises dos demais organismos podem sofrer interferência da coloração do efluente.
