The potential toxicity and ecological risks of rare-earth nanoparticles in the environment have become a concern due to their widespread application and inevitable releases. The integration of hydroponics experiments, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were utilized to investigate the physiological toxicity, uptake and translocation of yttrium oxide nanoparticles (Y2O3 NPs) under different hydroponic treatments (1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 mg.L-1 of Y2O3 NPs, 19.2 mg.L-1 Y(NO3)(3) and control) in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) seedlings. The results indicated that Y2O3 NPs had a phytotoxic effect on tomato seedlings' germination, morphology, physiology, and oxidative stress. The Y2O3 NPs and soluble Y-III reduced the root elongation, bud elongation, root activity, chlorophyll, soluble protein content and superoxide dismutase and accelerated the praline and malondialdehyde in the plant with increasing concentrations. The phytotoxic effects of Y2O3 NPs on tomato seedlings had a higher phytotoxic effect than soluble Y-III under the all treatments. The inhibition rates of different levels of Y2O3 NPs in shoot and mot biomass ranged from 0.2% to 6.3% and 1.0-11.3%, respectively. The bioaccumulation and translocation factors were less than 1, which suggested that Y2O3 NPs significantly suppressed shoot and root biomass of tomato seedlings and easily bioaccumulated in the root. The observations were consistent with the process of concentration-dependent uptake and translocation factor and confirmed by TEM. Y2O3 NPs penetrate the epidermis, enter the cell wall, and exist in the intercellular space and cytoplasm of mesophyll cells of tomato seedlings by endocytic pathway. Moreover, PLS-SEM revealed that the concentration of NPs significantly negatively affects the morphology and physiology, leading to the change in biomass of plants. This study demonstrated the possible pathway of Y2O3 NPs in uptake, phytotoxicity and translocation of Y2O3 NPs in tomato seedlings.

A critical review on biochar-assisted free radicals mediated redox reactions influencing transformation of potentially toxic metals: Occurrence, formation, and environmental applications Rashid, Muhammad Saqib; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Hamid, Yasir; Rehman, Abdul; Arif, Muhammad; Ahmed, Rafay; Ashraf, Aniqa; Song, Yu (2022-12-01) Potentially toxic metals have become a viable threat to the ecosystem due to their carcinogenic nature. Biochar has gained substantial interest due to its redox-mediated processes and redox-active metals. Biochar has the capacity to directly adsorb the pollutants from contaminated environments through several mechanisms such as coprecipitation, complexation, ion exchange, and electrostatic interaction. Biochar's electron-mediating poten-tial may be influenced by the cyclic transition of surface moieties and...
Recent trends in advanced oxidation process-based degradation of erythromycin: Pollution status, eco-toxicity and degradation mechanism in aquatic ecosystems Ashraf, Aniqa; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Arif, Muhammad; Ahmed, Rafay; Irshad, Samina; Cheema, Ayesha Imtiyaz; Rashid, Audil; Gulzaman, Humaira (2021-06-01) Wide spread documentation of antibiotic pollution is becoming a threat to aquatic environment. Erythromycin (ERY), a macrolide belonging antibiotic is at the top of this list with its concentrations ranging between ng/L to a few mu g/L in various global waterbodies giving rise to ERY-resistance genes (ERY-RGs) and ERY- resistance bacteria (ERY-RBs) posing serious threat to the aquatic organisms. ERY seems resistant to various conventional water treatments, remained intact and even increased in terms of mass...
Ecological impacts of freshwater algal blooms on water quality, plankton biodiversity, structure, and ecosystem functioning Alves Amorım, Cıhelıo; Moura, Ariadne do Nascimento (2021-03-01) Harmful algal blooms are among the emerging threats to freshwater biodiversity that need to be studied further in the Anthropocene. Here, we studied freshwater plankton communities in ten tropical reservoirs to record the impact of algal blooms, comprising different phytoplankton taxa, on water quality, plankton biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. We compared water quality parameters (water transparency, mixing depth, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved inorganic nitrogen, total dissolved phosphorus...
Evaluation of Turkey's status in terms of compliance with the requirements of the Stockholm convention Şıltu, Esra; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014) Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are stable, toxic compounds released into the environment due to anthropogenic activities. POPs can accumulate in fatty tissues of living organisms and become concentrated up the food chain, posing a serious threat to environment and human health. Once they are released, POPs participate in long-range transport and can have a widespread effect. Stockholm Convention on POPs, which was adopted in 2001 and entered into force in 2004, is a global treaty to take measures agai...
Environmental variability in aquatic ecosystems: Avenues for future multifactorial experiments Gerhard, Miriam; Koussoroplis, Apostolos-Manuel; Raatz, Michael; Pansch, Christian; Fey, Samuel B.; Vajedsamiei, Jahangir; Caldero-Pascual, Maria; Cunillera-Montcusi, David; Juvigny-Khenafou, Noel P.

However, integration of findings that emerge across studies and identification of remaining knowledge gaps in aquatic ecosystems remain critical. Here, we address these aspects by: (1) summarizing relevant terms of variability research including the components (characteristics) of variability and key i...
