Endocrine Disruptors in Aquatic Environment: Effects and Consequences on the Biodiversity of Fish and Amphibian Species

Abstract: Endocrine Disruptors (EDs) are synthetic or natural chemical compounds of exogenous origin that can cause serious health damage, in the growth and reproduction of animals when released into the aquatic environment through anthropic activities. Taking into account the current impact of pollutants on aquatic biodiversity in the last years, this study aims to systematically review the relevant literature on currently known EDs, focusing on their sources, their effects, and consequences on the aquatic biota, with … Show more

“…This option of use of nanoparticles can serve as a potential alternative to the nitrogen-depletion technique since the interaction with the nanoparticles does not negatively affect the biomass growth (and consequently the overall lipid yield). On the other hand, a majority of nanoparticle-based products are toxic to aquatic organisms (Alves da Silva et al 2018). Considering this fact, the use of nanoparticles can compromise the sustainability of biofuels from microalgae.…”

“…Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous agents with structural similarity to endogenous hormones, that may therefore interfere with natural hormonal activity by blocking, competing or mimicking natural hormones [1]. The biological effects associated with exposure to EDCs include numerous physiological processes, among them homeostasis disruption, immunological damages and developmental impairments [2].…”

“…Continuous exposure to such chemicals may affect local species and ecosystems. It has been shown, for example, that chronic exposure to EDCs causes abnormalities in the reproductive system of certain fish species [1,[7][8][9].…”

“…Muchos de estos compuestos no se consideraban significativos en términos de distribución y/o concentración en el medio ambiente ya que no eran detectados por las técnicas analíticas. Pero la detección de efectos biológicos y el desarrollo de técnicas permitió el abordaje de esta problemática, no obstante, ahora se los considera contaminantes emergentes y están siendo ampliamente detectados y estudiados (da Silva et al, 2018). La principal forma de entrada de estos contaminantes en los cuerpos de agua son los efluentes urbanos.…”
