“…In the current study, the measurement of essential metals following exposure to Au-ZnO NPs showed an increase in zinc and gold concentrations, possibly due to their bonding with NPs and their bioaccumulation in bivalves. This finding is in accordance to previous studies, which employed the leech E. complanata exposed to nanoZnO, leading to increased zinc concentration ( Gagné et al, 2015 ). In addition, the presence of Au-ZnONPs significantly affected the accumulation of other essential metals, such as iron, manganese and copper by bivalves.…”

The current study investigated the exposure of the Mediterranean mussel ( Mytilus galloprovincialis ) to gold nanoparticles decorated zinc oxide (Au-ZnO NPs) and phosphonate [Diethyl (3-cyano-1-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-methylpropyl)] phosphate (PC). The mussels were exposed to concentrations of 50 and 100 µg L -1 of both compounds alone, as well as to a mixture of both pollutants (i.e. Mix). The singular and the combined effect of each pollutant was investigated by measuring the concentration of various metals (i.e., Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Au) in the the digestive glands and gills of mussels, their filtration capacity (FC), respiration rate (RR) and the response of oxidative biomarkers, respectively, following 14 days of exposure. The concentrations of Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Au increased directly with Au-ZnO NPs in mussel tissues, but significantly only for Zn. In contrast, the mixture of Au-ZnO100 NPs and PC100 did not induce any significant increase in the content of metals in digetsve glands and gills, suggesting antagonistic interactions between contaminants. In addition, FC and RR levels decreased following exposure to Au-ZnO100 NPs and PC100 treatments and no significant alterations were observed after the exposure to 50 µg.L -1 of both contaminants and Mix. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) level, GSH/GSSG ratio, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities showed significant changes following the exposure to both Au-ZnO NPs and PC, in the gills and the digestive glands of the mussel. However, no significant modifications were observed in both organs following the exposure to Mix. The current study advances the understanding of the toxicity of NPs and phosphonates on M. galloprovincialis and sets the path for future ecotoxicological studies regarding the synergic effects of these substances on marine species. Moreover, the current experiment suggests that the oxidative stress and the neurotoxic pathways are responsive following the exposure of marine invertebrates to both nanoparticles and phosphonates, with potential antagonist interactions of these substances on the physiology of targeted species.

“…Our results showed that mussel exposed to prolonged periods to air did not show significant decrease in air-time survival and mussel weight in groups exposed to air after treatment with La compared to a control group. Exposure of freshwater mussels to prolonged periods of air leads to important physiological changes in the attempt to survive outside of water [64]. During this period, mussels expend metabolic energy under low oxygen tension, leading to increased anaerobic metabolism and loss of energy reserves [64].…”

SOJ Biochemistry Open Access Research article tons of oxides in 2003 [3]. However, this growing use of REEs is accompanied by enrichment to the environment [4]. Indeed, REE senter the groundwater and eventually migrate into rivers and lakes [5] and reach humans through trophic transfer [6, 7]. Despite their widespread applications, environmental risks related to REEs have received little attention which explains the paucity of data about their bioavailability and ecotoxicological impact. Thus, more research on the environmental impacts and biological effects of REE sis required [8]. Lanthanum (La), a representative element of light REEs, is widely used in electronics and optoelectronics, lighters, ceramics, battery [9] and also to stimulate the growth of agricultural products [10]. Therefore, this element is considered of specific interest as one of the major lanthanides found in industrial effluents [11]. Although dissolved lanthanum species (La3+) represent a very small proportion of lanthanum compounds in water and sediment, they are bioavailable and cause adverse effects in living biological systems [12]. In fishes and amphibians, several effects of La have been reported particularly on nervous systems [13,14], excretory organs [15] and smooth muscles [16-18]. Previous study demonstrated also that La3+ delayed zebra fish embryo and larval development, decreased survival and hatching rates and causes tail malformation in a concentration-dependent way [19]. Studies performed with crustaceans are focused mainly in evaluating the effect of La on survival, growth and reproduction [20, 21, 22] and showed the highest sensitivity of those organisms towards La-ions dissolved from LaCl 3. In our Knowledge, few reports on La effects in marine bivalves have been published before now [23, 24, 25]. Given the lack of data for aquatic organisms, studies with mammals are provided. The trivalent La3+interfere with the immune defense and the function of the liver, spleen, heart and blood vessels and brain [26]. Previous studies indicated that lanthanum chloride accumulated in brain [10] alter the learning capacity and memory in animals

“…After the exposure period, 10 mussels were kept aside to determine the air-time survival as previously described (Gagné et al, 2015). Briefly, mussels were randomly chosen and placed individually into plastic plates under 80% humidity at 18 C. They were maintained as such and weighed each day until mortality was determined by shell opening.…”

The commercial use of copper oxide nanoparticles (nCuO) has raised concerns about the toxic risk to filter feeders such as bivalves. The purpose of this study was to compare the toxicity of nCuO and dissolved Cu 2+ to the freshwater mussel Dreissena bugensis. Mussels were exposed to a range of concentrations of both forms of Cu (2, 10 and 50 µg/L) for 96 h at 15 C. After the exposure period, some mussels were kept aside to determine the air survival time as a measure of resistance to stress. The remaining mussels were processed for total and labile Cu determination in their tissues and the following effects: lipid peroxidation (LPO), DNA damage, arachidonate cyclooxygenase (COX), protein-ubiquitin levels (UB), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity. The data revealed that only exposure to Cu 2+ led to the accumulation of total Cu in tissues with a decrease in labile Cu 2+ levels suggesting that Cu was strongly bound to tissues. Exposure to nCuO led to specific effects on COX activity (inflammation) and UB levels (damaged protein turnover). It is concluded that although no significant changes in Cu levels in mussels were detected, exposure to nCuO produced different effects than Cu 2+ in freshwater mussels.
