The paper reports an assessment of the quality of some water courses located in three Egyptian governorates by investiga tion of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides residues, and the distribution of macroinvertebrates. Water and sediment samples were collected from the investigated...
Reprotoxicity of 4-nonylphenol to Biomphalaria alexandrina snails at certain temperatures
ScopusResearch Type: Research article | Domain: Environmental pollution and remediation
Publish Type: Published
Publish Date: 2019-05-02
One of the most common compounds in pesticide formulations, plastics, and papers is 4-nonylphenol (4-NP). It is contained in agricultural, industrial, and wastewater effluents, which when discharged into surface waters affect aquatic fauna. Therefore, the present study aimed to use Biomphalaria...
