    Phytoremediation of engineered nanoparticles using aquatic plants: Mechanisms and practical feasibility
    (2020-07-01) Parisa Ebrahimbabaie; Weeradej Meeinkuirt; John Pichtel; Ball State University; Mahidol University
    © 2020 Certain plants have demonstrated the capability to take up and accumulate metals, thus offering the potential to remediate metal-contaminated water and sediment. Several aquatic species have further been identified which can take up metal... and metal oxide engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). It is important to evaluate if aquatic plants exhibiting potential for metal phytoremediation can be applied to remediation of metallic ENPs. Understanding the interactions between ENPs and aquatic plants

    Multilocus Sequence Typing and Virulence Potential of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Strains Isolated from Aquatic Bird Feces
    (2022-06-01) Muangnapoh C.; Tamboon E.; Supha N.; Toyting J.; Chitrak A.; Kitkumthorn N.; Ekchariyawat P.; Iida T.; Suthienkul O.; Mahidol University
    Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, foodborne pathogenic bacterium that causes human gastroenteritis. This organism is ubiquitously present in the marine environment. Detection of V. parahaemolyticus in aquatic birds has been previously... reported; however, the characterization of isolates of this bacterium recovered from these birds remains limited. The present study isolated and characterized V. parahaemolyticus from aquatic bird feces at the Bangpu Recreation Center (Samut Prakan province

    © 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. Cadmium (Cd) may be toxic to aquatic plants even at modest concentrations, and excessive quantities of zinc (Zn) decrease plant performance. The Cd and Zn phytoremediation potential... of several aquatic plant species (Thalia geniculate, Cyperus alternifolius, Canna indica, Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes) and one grass species (Vetiveria zizanioides) was evaluated in hydroponic experiments.

    © 2019 Elsevier B.V. This study investigated the occurrence and fate of 19 biocides in 8 wastewater treatment plants and receiving aquatic environments (both freshwater and estuarine systems) in Thailand. The predominant compound in wastewater... that clotrimazole and triclosan could pose high risks to aquatic organisms in the receiving aquatic environments.

    Ecotoxicological Consequences of Microplastics in Aquatic Life
    (2025-01-01) Kamble M.T.; Daunde V.Y.; Palekar G.R.; Tayade S.H.; Pirarat N.; Medhe S.V.; Chavan B.R.; Gabriel N.N.; Kamble M.T.; Mahidol University
    Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have emerged as a pervasive environmental contaminant in aquatic ecosystems. Their sources include primary MPs, manufactured at this size for commercial use, and secondary MPs..., resulting from the degradation of larger plastic debris. MPs are ubiquitous in marine and freshwater environments, accumulating in sediments and being ingested by various aquatic organisms. The ecotoxicological consequences of MPs involve physical harm

    Effects and applications of surfactants on the release, removal, fate, and transport of microplastics in aquatic ecosystem: a review
    (2023-12-01) Phasukarratchai N.; Phasukarratchai N.; Mahidol University
    Microplastics (MPs) and surfactants (STs) are emerging pollutants in the environment. While many studies have focused on the interactions of STs with MPs, there has not been a comprehensive review focusing on the effect of STs on MPs in aquatic

    in the range of 25-200 μg As kg soil-1. Both values were below the Thailand national standard of 0.25 mg As L-1for water and 27 mg As kg soil-1for the soil. Arsenic accumulation in the biomass of 5 aquatic plants at the biowetland ponds ranged from 123... in the wetland ponds. From the regression equation of accumulated arsenic concentration in each aquatic plant, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. (R2= 0.954), Ipomoea aquatica Forsk. (R2= 0.850), and Typha angustifolia (L.) (R2= 0.841) were found
