Perfluorinated compounds in the aquatic food chains of two subtropical estuaries
(Elsevier, 2019)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous in the environment and remain in largely unknown concentrations and with unknown effects on the African continent. Here we aimed to assess the presence of 15 PFASs ...
Biomarker responses in the freshwater shrimp Caridina nilotica as indicators of persistent pollutant exposure
(Springer, 2020)
Biomarkers are applied as early warning indicators of organisms’ exposure to pollutants. The aim of this study was to utilise a multi-biomarker approach in the freshwater shrimp Caridina nilotica (Decapoda: Atyidae) as ...
Current status and future prognosis of malaria vector control pesticide ecotoxicology and Xenopus sp.
(Springer, 2020)
Anurans from the genus Xenopus have long been used as standard testing organisms and occur naturally in tropical and sub-tropical areas where malaria vector control pesticides are actively used. However, literature on the ...
Distribution of perfluorinated compounds (PFASs) in the aquatic environment of the industrially polluted Vaal River, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2018)
Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) are highly persistent chemicals, which have a bioaccumulative potential and can be found in wildlife around the world. Although multiple studies have been performed on PFASs pollution ...
