“…In general, the endpoints used for hazard identification of nanoPS are also been commonly applied to other types of pollutants. For example, the commonly used positive control substance potassium dichromate (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ) due to its oxidative properties has also been used for evaluation of non-standardized toxicity endpoints such as swimming [ 56 , 57 ], feeding [ 58 , 59 ], heart rate [ 60 ], breathing [ 61 ], and neurotoxicity [ 62 ]. However, no data on body adsorption, growth, or embryonic development were available, as changes in these endpoints are probably not expected for this substance ( Figure S2 ).…”

Defining Quality Criteria for Nanoplastic Hazard Evaluation: The Case of Polystyrene Nanoplastics and Aquatic Invertebrate Daphnia spp.

Polystyrene nanoparticles are the most investigated type of nanoplastics in environmental hazard studies. It remains unclear whether nanoplastic particles pose a hazard towards aquatic organisms. Thus, it was our aim to investigate whether the existing studies and data provided therein are reliable in terms of data completeness. We used the example of Daphnia spp. studies for the purpose of polystyrene nanoplastic (nanoPS) hazard evaluation. First, a set of quality criteria recently proposed for nanoplastic ecotoxicity studies was applied. These rather general criteria for all types of nanoplastics and different test organisms were then, in the second step, tailored and refined specifically for Daphnia spp. and nanoPS. Finally, a scoring system was established by setting mandatory (high importance) as well as desirable (medium importance) criteria and defining a threshold to pass the evaluation. Among the existing studies on nanoPS ecotoxicity for Daphnia spp. (n = 38), only 18% passed the evaluation for usability in hazard evaluation. The few studies that passed the evaluation did not allow for conclusions on the hazard potential of nanoPS because there was no consensus among the studies. The greatest challenge we identified is in data reporting, as only a few studies presented complete data for hazard evaluation.

“…There is an increasing number of studies that have used video tracking devices to assess changes in Daphnia swimming behaviour upon exposure to chemicals (Artells et al, 2013;Bahrndorff et al, 2016;Barrozo et al, 2015;Bownik et al, 2018;Cano et al, 2017;Cruzeiro et al, 2017;Chevalier et al, 2015;Ferrario et al, 2018;Häder and Erzinger, 2017;Hansen and Roslev, 2016;Huang et al, 2017;Huang et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2018;Madeira et al, 2018;Nielsen and Roslev, 2018;Nikitin et al, 2018;Noss et al, 2013;Parolini et al, 2018;Ren et al, 2017;Ren et al, 2015;Stanley et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2018;Zein et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2016). However, only few of them reported behavioural effects at environmental relevant concentrations far below those causing any sublethal effects on stress markers or lifehistory traits (Nielsen and Roslev, 2018).…”

One of the major challenges that faces today regulatory risk assessment is to speed up the way of assessing threshold sublethal detrimental effects of existing and new chemical products. Recently advances in imaging allows to monitor in real time the behaviour of individuals under a given stress. Light is a common stress for many different organisms. Fish larvae and many invertebrate species respond to light altering their behaviour. The water flea Daphnia magna as many other zooplanktonic species has a marked diel vertical phototactic swimming behaviour against light due to fish predation. The aim of this study was to develop a highthroughput image analysis to study changes in the vertical swimming behaviour to light of D. magna first reproductive adult females exposed to 0.1 and 1 µg/L of four psychiatric drugs: diazepam, fluoxetine, propranolol and carbamazepine during their entire life. Experiments were conducted using a new custom designed vertical oriented four 50 mL chamber device controlled by the Noldus software (Netherlands). Changes in speed, preferred area (bottom vs upper areas) and animal aggregation were analysed using groups of animals under consecutive periods of dark and apical light stimulus of different intensities. Obtained results indicated that light intensity increased the speed but low light intensities allowed to better discriminate individual responses to the studied drugs. The four tested drugs decreased the response of exposed organisms to light: individuals move less, were closer to the bottom and at low light intensities were closer each other. At high light intensities, however, exposed individuals were less aggregated. Propranolol, carbamazepine and fluoxetine were the compounds effecting most the behaviour. Our results indicated that psychiatric drugs at environmental relevant concentrations alter the vertical phototactic behaviour of D. magna individuals and that it is possible to develop appropriate high-throughput image analysis devices to measure those responses.
