Introduction

Abstract: The aquatic environment appears as the final destination for most of anthropogenic contaminants released from industry, agriculture, urbanization, transport, tourism, and everyday life. On the other hand, inland, coastal, and marine waters provide many services important for human well-being. The conservation of ecosystems and human health is based on a sound assessment of the risks associated with the presence of contaminants in the aquatic environment. The aim of this book is to use cross-analyses of procedu… Show more

“…The environmental pollution has become a global crucial issue. Several pollutants and contaminants enter the environment either because of anthropogenic activities like industry, agriculture, transport, everyday life, etc., or through naturally occurring event [ 59 , 60 ]. Pollutants and contaminants can be air-, soil-, or waterborne, and may move from one medium to other (for example, soil to water).…”

“…Aquatic ecotoxicity is of primary regulatory concern as it is one of the major determinants in the well-being of terrestrial and aquatic species alike [93]. We identified 2 cadmium-AOPs namely ‘Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation leading to early life stage mortality, via increased COX-2’ (AOP:21) and ‘Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation leading to early life stage mortality, via reduced VEGF’ (AOP:150), that are part of LCC (C1), and have ‘High’ evidence of applicability in aquatic species (Supplementary Table S7).…”

“…It is estimated that around 100,000 molecules are introduced into aquatic environments from different sources, where mixtures of several classes of contaminants are present concurrently, and can interact additively, synergistically or antagonistically (Amiard-Triquet, 2015). Chemical analyses of these environments provide only information about the nature of a limited number of target substances and their concentrations in the environment, disregarding their bioavailability and potential harmful effects on biota.…”
