Buspirone is a pharmaceutical used to treat general anxiety disorder by acting on the dopaminergic and serotoninergic system. Buspirone, like many human pharmaceuticals, has been detected in municipal wastewater; however,...

"GenX" [ammonium perfluoro (2-methyl-3-oxahexanoate] was developed as a replacement chemical for toxic perfluorinated compounds to be used in product manufacturing. Here, we assessed developmental, mitochondrial, and behavioral toxicity endpoints in...

Fipronil is a broad-spectrum pesticide presenting high acute toxicity to non-target organisms, particularly to aquatic species. Natural compounds stand out as promising alternatives to the use of synthetic pesticides such...

Broflanilide is a novel pesticide that can antagonize ion channels and disrupt neurotransmitter systems in the brain. Zebrafish larvae were exposed to either 0, 1 or 10- µg/L broflanilide in...

Broflanilide is a novel insecticide that is classified as a non-competitive γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor antagonist. However, indiscriminate use can have negative effects on non-target species. The objective of this...

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a broad-range bacteriostatic antibiotic widely used in animal and fish farming and is also employed in human medicine. These antibiotics can ultimately end up in the aquatic...

Tiafenacil is a newly registered herbicide and a protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase inhibitor. However, sub-lethal effects of PPO-inhibitors in aquatic species are unknown. Embryos or larvae were exposed to 0.1 µg/L...

The potential toxicity of several perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to aquatic species are not well understood. Here, we assessed the sub-lethal toxicity potential of perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA) to developing...
