Assesment of genotoxic pollution of the Danube River with comet assay in different tissues of common bream (Abramis brama L. 1758)
(Serbian Genetic Society, Belgrade, Serbia, 2014)
The aim of this study was to assess the genotoxic potential of Danube River at the site Višnjica (downstream Belgrade) on monthly basis over year 2014 in tissues of common bream (A. brama). The level of DNA damage in the ...
Cytostatics as emerging pollutants – is there a threat for aquatic invertebrates?
(University of Agriculture in Krakow, 2018)
Seeking for a better quality of life, consumption of pharmaceuticals is constantly increasing. Pharmaceuticals are designed to be more potent, degradation resistant, to affect protein targets at relatively low doses. Many ...
Comet assay – a sensitive method for detection DNA damage and primary monitoring of ecosystem pollution pressure
(Institute of Marine Biology, University of Montenegro, 2019)
Untreated municipal wastewaters are one of the major negative contributors on freshwater quality, and consequently on ecosystem balance. Some compounds such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products, etc. could be genotoxic ...
Bioassays in assessment of environmental pollution
(Institute of Marine Biology, University of Montenegro, 2019)
Water pollution represents one of the main threats of global freshwater diversity. Untreated urban wastewaters are the source of both microbiological and chemical pollution. In exposed organisms, pollution affects different ...
Application of comet assay in aquatic organisms – summary and lessons learned in past 10 years of field research
(EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS & GENOMICS SOCIETY, 2022)
Within the past decade, our research group placed great effort in exploration of the impact of treated/untreated wastewaters on aquatic ecosystems as less than 13 % of collected municipal wastewaters are processed before ...
Significance of genotoxicity and toxicity evaluation of freshwater bodies
(Institute of Marine Biology, University of Montenegro, 2019)
Fish communities are excellent indicators of biological and ecological integrity due to
their continuous exposure to water conditions. Freshwater biodiversity constitute a valu able natural resource but extensive pollution ...
Dynamic of tributyltin influence on DNA damage in haemocytes and cardiac activity of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Institute of Experimental Medicine (Prague, Czech Republic) and the University of Kentucky (USA), 2016)
Adverse effects of antifouling paints containing organotin compound tributylin (TBT) marked this agent as one of the most toxic substances released into the sea; therefore, its usage is banned. Considering the lack of TBT ...
Identification of hotspots of genotoxicological and faecal pollution along the Danube and Sava rivers – the whole river surveys
(University of Agriculture in Krakow, 2018)
The level of genotoxic pollution was assessed along the Danube River and its most significant tributary Sava River by measuring the level of DNA damage in aquatic organisms collected from the selected sites. The Danube ...
Evaluation of genotoxic potential of the middle section of the Danube River and its major tributaries
(EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS & GENOMICS SOCIETY, 2022)
The middle section of the Danube River basin in the previous three Joint Danube Surveys (JDS) was found to be under intensive pollution, mainly affected by wastewaters. As a consequence of the lack of wastewater treatment ...
DNA damage and histopathological alterations in liver and gills of common bream Abramis brama (L.) as biomarkers of the Danube River pollution
(Institute of Geography of SAS, 2018)
Biomarkers are used in ecosystem health assessment because they provide information about
the biological effects of pollution. Aquatic ecosystems are often the ultimate recipients of
different pollutants, which may have ...
