Pesticides -- easier detection of pollution and impact in rivers
The long-term effects of pesticides on living organisms in rivers and on water quality can now be assessed more easily. (2009-09-04)
Scientists find mercury threatens next generation of loons
A long-term study by the Wildlife Conservation Society, the BioDiversity Research Institute, and other organizations has found and confirmed that environmental mercury-much of which comes from human-generated emissions-is impacting both the health and reproductive success of common loons in the Northeast. (2008-03-05)
Popular insecticide detected in suburban stream beds
For the first time, researchers have detected high concentrations of a popular insecticide in suburban stream sediments, raising concerns about its effects on aquatic life. (2005-10-27)
Are drugs harmful for the environment?
Medicines released into the environment may be a risk to living species in the long term. Jeanne Garric's ecotoxicology team at Cemagref Lyon has shown that certain molecules disrupt reproduction, embryo development and growth of representative organisms in aquatic environments. Toxicity tests have been conducted in the laboratory on Daphnia, Rotifera and zebra fish under standard protocols. Active pharmaceuticals ingredients (APIs) concentrations in the environment however are found to be 1000 to 100,000 times too low to cause acute toxicity. Cemagref scientists have tested a dozen of the most widely used APIs in France and Europe, covering a (2003-06-11)
New AQUIRE database on STN: Toxic Effects of Chemicals to Aquatic Organisms
Karlsruhe, October 2002 - FIZ Karlsruhe, European partner of STN International, one of the world's leading online providers of scientific and technical information, has announced the launch of the AQUIRE database. AQUIRE contains scientific papers published both nationally and internationally on the toxic effects of chemicals to aquatic organisms and plants. Recently, ecotoxicology data has become more important to those trying to improve and enhance the process by which ecological and human health hazard assessments are performed. This has resulted in a range of activity from the hazard evaluation of new and existing chemicals and pesticides to the evaluation of impact assessments associate (2002-10-18)

Top Environment Agency role for Plymouth professor
The Environment Agency has appointed a senior academic from the University of Plymouth as its new Head of Science. Michael Depledge, currently Professor of Marine Biology and Ecotoxicology and Director of the Plymouth Environmental Research Centre (PERC) at the University, will take up his new post at the beginning of September. As Head of Science at the Environment Agency he will be responsible for overseeing all science carried out within the organisation and for its research and development programme. Professor Depledge is an internationally recognised expert on ecotoxicology and environmental health. He joined the University of Plymouth in 1994 and during his time as Director of PERC he (2002-07-05)
