Delayed Behavioral Effects of Early Life Toxicant Exposures in Aquatic Biota
Behavioral development occurs together with the development of the nervous system. Studies on mammals indicate that exposures to some chemicals during embryonic development at concentrations that do not produce anatomical malformations may nevertheless produce behavioral deficits later in life, an example of delayed effects. There have been reports of delayed effects in aquatic organisms. Delay...
متن کاملEffects of Cca Wood on Non-target Aquatic Biota
Studies are reviewed that demonstrate the leaching of Cu, Cr, and As from pressure-treated wood in aquatic environments. The metals leached out accumulate in sediments near the wood (particularly bulkheads, which have more surface area for leaching than dock pilings). The metals also accumulate in organisms, including epibiota that live directly on the wood and benthic organisms, which live in ...
متن کاملClimate change effects on aquatic biota, ecosystem structure and function.
Climate change is projected to cause significant alterations to aquatic biogeochemical processes, (including carbon dynamics), aquatic food web structure, dynamics and biodiversity, primary and secondary production; and, affect the range, distribution and habitat quality/quantity of aquatic mammals and waterfowl. Projected enhanced permafrost thawing is very likely to increase nutrient, sedimen...
متن کاملsecuritization of mortality risks in life annuities
insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...
15 صفحه اولAssessing developmental toxicant exposures via biomonitoring.
Most of the developmental effects that populations experience are believed to be linked with their exposure scenario and/or their susceptibility to these exposures. In environmental public health, most studies have focused on exposures to environmental chemicals but certainly other environmental factors and susceptibility factors must be considered. Our laboratory assesses exposure to environme...
