Caffeine as an environmental indicator for assessing urban aquatic ecosystems.
This study aimed to evaluate the co-occurrence of caffeine and the extent of its influence as compared to other traditional water quality parameters (microbiological and physico-chemical) in order to characterize it as an efficient indicator of anthropic pollution of urban aquatic environments. Caffeine is an ingredient in a variety of beverages (coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks) and nu...
متن کاملAssessing caffeine as an emerging environmental concern using conventional approaches.
Organic wastewater contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, caffeine, and nicotine, have received increased scrutiny because of their detection in water bodies receiving wastewater discharge. Despite recent measurement in United States streams, caffeine's effect on freshwater organisms is not well documented. The present study measured caffeine's lethal and sublethal effects on the freshwater s...
متن کاملHelminthic Parasites as Heavy Metal Bioindicators in Aquatic Ecosystems
Abstract Heavy metals have raised one of the most important problems in ecology and organisms life especially human being and animals. A variety of indicators including tissues of fish, birds and sediment have been used recently to measure the aquatic pollution with heavy metals. The aim of this study was to search the published articles in Iran a...
متن کاملRunoff as Complexity Indicator for Terrestrial Ecosystems
Terrestrial ecosystems are often considered as among the structurally most complex systems that can be scientifically investigated. On the other hand, utilization techniques like forestry or water management, focussing on specific functional aspects, often follow relatively simple empirical rules, which led in the past to satisfying predictions. This apparent contradiction opens the question wh...
متن کاملEnergy homeostasis as an integrative tool for assessing limits of environmental stress tolerance in aquatic invertebrates.
Energy balance is a fundamental requirement of stress adaptation and tolerance. We explore the links between metabolism, energy balance and stress tolerance using aquatic invertebrates as an example and demonstrate that using key parameters of energy balance (aerobic scope for growth, reproduction and activity; tissue energy status; metabolic rate depression; and compensatory onset of anaerobio...
