Spermio-and embryotoxicities of Cu, Ag, Cd, and Hg were investigated in Paracentrotus lividus, the dominant echinoid species of the Mediterranean. Spermiotoxicity was studied by assessing the effects of sperm exposure on fertilization rate (FR) as well as on the induction of transmissible damages to

Sperm cell and embryo toxicity tests using the Mediterranean sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus Lmk were performed to assess the toxicity of As3+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Hg2+. The aim of this study was to improve information about the comparative sensitivity of sea urchin bioassays to
The concept of industrial metabolism is introduced as an analytical framework for many diffuse sources of pollution for which 'end of pipe' control will not work and pollution prevention at the source is required. The concept is applied to pollution in the Rhine Basin which ends up in The Netherland
A microbial growth model was presented for estimating the dynamic behavior of cell growth and substrate consumption in the biodegradation of phenol containing a heavy metal, such as zinc or copper ions. The application of the model for experiments in a batch culture and a continuous culture was exam
