## Le projet européen « PARC » : Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals

Cette fiche vise à présenter le futur partenariat européen « PARC » (Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals – Partenariat pour l'évaluation des risques liés aux substances chimiques).

PARC est un partenariat européen public-public sous Horizon Europe (programme-cadre de l'Union européenne pour la recherche et l'innovation pour la période 2021-2027. D'une durée de 7 ans, le partenariat a démarré le 1er mai 2022 pour s'achever au printemps 2029. Le budget prévisionnel de PARC est de 400 millions d'euros dont la moitié sera financée par la Commission Européenne et le reste par les Etats Membres partenaires. L'Anses sera le coordinateur du partenariat dans sa globalité.

### Quels sont les principaux objectifs de PARC ?

L'objectif principal de PARC est de renforcer les capacités européennes en évaluation du risque chimique pour protéger la santé humaine et l'environnement.

Dans ce cadre, trois axes stratégiques ont été définis :

- La collaboration des évaluateurs de risque au niveau national et européen, avec les réseaux scientifiques de chercheurs dans un environnement transdisciplinaire, pour fixer en commun les priorités en terme de recherche et d'innovation en évaluation du risque chimique.

- La mise en place, par les évaluateurs de risques et les réseaux scientifiques, d'un programme de recherche et d'innovation coordonné pour répondre aux priorités identifiées pour l'évaluation du risque chimique que les agences sanitaires nationales et au niveau de l'UE doivent mener.

- L'accès des évaluateurs de risques européens, de leurs réseaux scientifiques et des parties prenantes aux capacités de recherche et innovation (R&I) nécessaires pour mettre en œuvre une évaluation du risque chimique innovante.

Pour certaines de ses activités, PARC constituera une suite ou un complément de plusieurs projets européens en cours ou récemment terminés, notamment le programme conjoint européen pour la biosurveillance humaine dans l'UE « HBM4EU<fnref n="1" /> ».

PARC devrait également répondre au souhait exprimé depuis plusieurs années par l'Anses et ses partenaires français et européens que soit créé et mis en place un programme public européen d'études toxicologiques en appui à l'évaluation des risques. Les activités et études entreprises dans le cadre de PARC répondront à des besoins précis, identifiés par les évaluateurs et gestionnaires des risques liés aux substances chimiques et ne pouvant être prises en charge par ailleurs.

<footnote n="1">¹ HBM4EU European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (https://www.hbm4eu.eu/)</footnote>
Il est attendu de PARC des bénéfices à trois niveaux :

* **Scientifiques** : notamment en créant de nouvelles connaissances, en renforçant le réseau d'experts et de laboratoires en Europe sur le sujet, et en développant la dissémination ouverte des connaissances en matière d'évaluation des risques.

* **Réglementaires et sociétaux** : en contribuant à une meilleure protection de notre environnement et de notre santé, notamment en appuyant les priorités politiques au niveau européen, telles que la mise en place du Pacte vert pour l'Europe (European Green Deal)<fnref n="2" /> ou la nouvelle stratégie sur les substances chimiques qui vise le développement d'une chimie saine et durable ('Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-Free Environment')<fnref n="3" />.

* **Economiques** : notamment en contribuant à la croissance fondée sur l'innovation, par la mise en œuvre d'approches scientifiques et d'une communication ciblée avec les parties prenantes dont les industriels, en ayant un effet de levier sur les investissements R&I, en développant de nouvelles compétences par la formation et en contribuant à l'amélioration des conditions de travail.

La figure suivante présente la logique d'intervention de PARC.

<figure><img src="image_3.png" /></figure>

### Comment PARC sera organisé ?

Le programme de travail de PARC est structuré autour de 9 « Work-packages (WPs) » :

* **WP1** : Coordination administrative et scientifique – leader : **Anses** (France)

<footnote n="2">² https://ec.europa.eu/info/publications/communication-european-green-deal_en</footnote>

<footnote n="3">³ https://ec.europa.eu/environment/strategy/chemicals-strategy_en</footnote>
* **WP2 : Agenda commun science/réglementation** – co-leaders : European Environment Agency (EEA, Europe) et Environment Agency Austria (EAA, Autriche)

* **WP3 : Communication, collaborations et sensibilisation** – co-leaders : General Chemical State Laboratory (GCSL, Grèce) et National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA, Portugal)

* **WP4 : Surveillance et exposition** – co-leaders : Santé publique France (SpF, France) et German Environment Agency (UBA, Allemagne)

* **WP5 : Evaluation du danger** – co-leaders : Anses (France) et German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR, Allemagne)

* **WP6 : Innovation en évaluation réglementaire du risque** – co-leaders : National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM, Pays-bas) et Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemi, Suède)

* **WP7 : FAIR data<fnref n="4" />** – co-leaders : Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO, Belgique) et University of Birmingham (UOB, Royaume-Uni)

* **WP8 : Concepts et boîtes à outils** – co-leaders : Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh, Grèce) et Department of Public Health of the University of Naples Federico I (UNINA, Italie)

* **WP9 : Formation et infrastructure** – co-leaders : Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII, Espagne) et RECETOX - Masaryk University Faculty of Science (RECETOX, République Tchèque)

La figure suivante montre comme les différents WP sont positionnés et interagiront.

<figure><img src="image_4.png" /></figure>

Les WP 4, 5, 6 et 8 sont destinés à produire des connaissances scientifiques nouvelles dans le cadre de projets de recherche et innovation qui seront proposés par les partenaires de PARC pour figurer dans le programme de travail. Ces projets répondront aux priorités établies dans le cadre de l'élaboration de l'agenda commun et généreront des connaissances scientifiques (acquisition de données d'exposition ou de danger sur les substances chimiques prioritaires, développement de nouveaux outils utilisables en évaluation des risques dans un cadre réglementaire...) répondant à ces priorités. Les autres WPs auront plus un rôle transversal et structurant d'appui au programme (communication,

<footnote n="4">⁴ « Facile à trouver, Accessible, Interopérable et Réutilisable » (en anglais : Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable, d'où l'acronyme « FAIR »).</footnote>
identification de synergies avec d'autres programmes européens et internationaux, gestion et partage des données et des modèles, structuration des capacités de laboratoire, par la mise en place de réseaux et de formations, ...).

### Quels sont les partenaires de PARC ?

A ce jour, il est prévu que le partenariat associe près de 200 partenaires issus de 28 pays et de 3 agences de l'UE (l'Agence européenne pour l'environnement - EEA, l'Agence européenne des produits chimiques - ECHA et l'Autorité européenne de sécurité des aliments - EFSA).

<figure><img src="image_5.png" /></figure>

### Quels sont les acteurs français impliqués dans PARC à ce stade ?

Outre l'Anses et Santé publique France qui seront pour la France les 2 organismes signataires du contrat de subvention (Grant Signatory - GS), d'autres organismes français seront partenaires en tant qu'entités affiliées (AEs). Les institutions de recherche identifiées à ce stade sont listées dans la figure suivante :
<figure><img src="image_6.png" /></figure>

Les divers acteurs français ayant un intérêt dans PARC, les ministères membres du « Governing Board », les partenaires (qu'ils soient GS ou AE), et autres parties prenantes au niveau national seront regroupés dans un « Hub National français » qui sera animé par Santé publique France et dont l'objectif est d'informer les acteurs français des avancées de PARC mais aussi d'instruire PARC avec les besoins et l'expertise française.

Au cours des 7 ans de la vie de PARC, d'autres partenaires pourront rejoindre le partenariat et participer aux activités.

Dans le cadre du Pacte vert pour l'Europe et de la stratégie européenne pour une chimie durable, la mise en œuvre de PARC constituera une occasion unique pour les acteurs de l'évaluation des risques de collaborer dans un contexte réglementaire européen en dehors des agendas sectoriels, souvent très contraints. Le partenariat devrait permettre de dégager des pistes de mutualisation tant au niveau français qu'européen et d'optimiser les ressources dédiées à ces activités d'évaluation des risques chimiques.

The impact of silver nanoparticles on microbial communities and antibiotic resistance determinants in the environment

**Authors:** Yonathan K, Mann R, Mahbub KR, Gunawan C

**Source:** ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION 293, 2021, DOI 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118506

**Abstract:** Nanosilver (NAg) is currently one of the major alternative antimicrobials to control microorganisms. With its broad-spectrum efficacy and lucrative commercial values, NAg has been used in medical devices and increasingly, in consumer products and appliances. This widespread use has inevitably led to the release and accumulation of the nanoparticle in water and sediment, in soil and even, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This Article describes the physical and chemical transformations of NAg as well as the impact of the nanoparticle on microbial communities in different environmental settings...

Effects of manufactured nanomaterials on algae: Implications and applications

**Authors:** Huang YX, Gao MY, Wang WJ et al.

**Source:** FRONTIERS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & ENGINEERING 16:122, 2022, DOI 10.1007/s11783-022-1554-3

**Abstract:** The wide application of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) has resulted in the inevitable release of MNMs into the aquatic environment along their life cycle. As the primary producer in aquatic ecosystems, algae play a critical role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems' energy flow, material circulation and information transmission. Thus, thoroughly understanding the biological effects of MNMs on algae as well as the underlying mechanisms is of vital importance. We conducted a comprehensive review on both positive and negative effects of MNMs on algae and thoroughly discussed the underlying mechanisms...

## Occurrence of antibiotics in waters, removal by microalgae-based systems, and their toxicological effects: A review

**Authors:** Yu C, Pang H, Wang JH et al.

**Source:** SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 813:151891, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.151891

**Abstract:** Global antibiotics consumption has been on the rise, leading to increased antibiotics

release into the environment, which threatens public health by selecting for antibiotic resistant bacteria and resistance genes, and may endanger the entire ecosystem by impairing primary production. [...] This study, therefore, aims to build a link connecting the occurrence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment, the removal of antibiotics by microalgae-based processes, and the toxicity of antibiotics to microalgae...

## Evaluation of the acute toxic response induced by triazophos to the non-target green algae *Chlorella pyrenoidosa*

**Abstract:** Residues of triazophos in aquatic ecosystems due to extensive use for controlling pests in agriculture has became worldwide concern, while the toxic response of triazophos on the non-target green algae in aquatic environment is not well studied. Therefore, the acute (96 h) toxic effects of 1 and 10 mg/L triazophos on green algae *Chlorella pyrenoidosa* were evaluated in present study...

## Bacteria versus fungi for predicting anthropogenic pollution in subtropical coastal sediments: Assembly process and environmental response

**Authors:** Zhao ZL, Li HJ, Sun Y et al.

**Source:** ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS 134:108484, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.108484

**Abstract:** Understanding the dynamics of ecological response to multiple stresses is a precondition for management and restoration of largely disturbed coastal ecosystems. Among diverse taxa in coastal regions, benthic organisms are widely recognized as promising targets for
assessing ecological causes and consequences of anthropogenic activity-derived stressors, such as environmental pollution. However, spatial and local environmental factors play important but different roles in shaping community structure of different benthic taxa, mainly owing to their distinct body size, mobility, and metabolic capacity. Here, we applied metabarcoding, coupled with physicochemical analyses, to determine the benthic microbial community composition in a typical subtropical coast area, Beibu Gulf in Southern China...

## Effects of ofloxacin on the structure and function of freshwater microbial communities

**Authors:** Deng Y, Debognies A, Zhang Q et al.

**Source:** AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY 244:106084, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.aquatox.2022.106084

**Abstract:** Ofloxacin (OFL) is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic frequently used in clinic for treating bacterial infections.

Both landscape and local
factors influence plant and
hexapod communities of
industrial water-abstraction
sites

Authors: Thierry C, Pisanu B & Machon N

Source: Ecology and Evolution 12(2):e8365, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.8365

**Abstract:** At the landscape level, intensification of agriculture, fragmentation, and destruction of natural habitats are major causes of biodiversity loss that can be mitigated at small spatial scales. However, the complex relationships between human activities, landscapes, and biodiversity are poorly known. Yet, this knowledge could help private stakeholders managing seminatural areas to play a positive role in biodiversity conservation. We investigated how water-abstraction sites could sustain species diversity in vascular-plant communities and two taxonomic groups of insect communities in a fragmented agricultural landscape. Landscape-scale variables (connectivity indices and surrounding levels of herbicide use), as well as site-specific variables (soil type for vascular plants, floral availability for *Rhopalocera*, and low herbaceous cover for *Orthoptera*), were correlated to structural and functional metrics of species community diversity for these taxonomic groups.

**Abstract:** Agricultural landscapes have changed substantially in recent decades, shifting from the dominance of small fields (S) with diverse cropping systems toward large-scale monoculture (L), where landscape heterogeneity disappears. In this study, artificial nests of the red mason bee, *Osmia bicornis*, were placed in S and L landscape types on the perimeter of oilseed rape fields representing different oilseed rape coverages. The local landscape structure around each nest was characterised. Pollen diversity and insecticide risk levels in the pollen provisions collected by the bees were analysed, and their dependence on the landscape structure was tested. Thereafter, the effects of pollen diversity, insecticide risk, and landscape structure on the life-history traits of bees and their sensitivity to topically applied Dursban 480 EC were determined.

Are spray drift losses to
agricultural roads more
important for surface water
contamination than direct
drift to surface waters?

Authors: Schönenberger UT, Simon J & Stamm C

Source: Science of the Total Environment, 809, 151102, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.151102

**Abstract:** Spray drift is considered a major pesticide transport pathway to surface waters. Current research and legislation usually only considers direct spray drift. However, also spray drift on roads and subsequent wash-off to surface waters was identified as a possible transport pathway. Hydraulic shortcuts (storm drainage inlets, channel drains, ditches) have been shown to connect roads to surface waters, thus increasing the risk of drift wash-off to surface waters. However, the importance of this pathway has never been assessed on larger scales.
Sweep netting samples, but not sticky trap samples, indicate beneficial arthropod abundance is negatively associated with landscape wide insecticide use

**Authors:** Bakker L, van der Werf W & Bianchi FJ

**Source:** Journal of Applied Ecology 59(4):942-952, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.14106

**Abstract:** Insecticide use and landscape context are major drivers for the abundance of beneficial arthropods, such as predators, parasitoids and pollinators. However, the relative importance of local and landscape-wide insecticide use is not well understood, and it is unclear to what extent impacts of insecticides on beneficial arthropod populations are moderated by landscape composition. We collected and analysed data on beneficial arthropod abundance and local and landscape-wide insecticide use across 38 Dutch landscapes. We used regression to study the associations between beneficial arthropod abundance (response), insecticide use and landscape factors.

**Abstract:** Ocean pollution is a worldwide environmental challenge that could be partially tackled through microbial applications. To shed light on the diversity and applications of the bacterial communities that inhabit the sediments trapped in artificial containers, we analyzed residues (polyethylene terephthalate [PET] bottles and aluminum cans) collected from the Mediterranean Sea by scanning electron microscopy and next generation sequencing. Moreover, we set a collection of culturable bacteria from the plastisphere that were screened for their ability to use PET as a carbon source...

## Effect of LDPE and biodegradable PBAT primary microplastics on bacterial community after four months of soil incubation

**Authors:** Li CT, Cui Q, Li Y and more...

**Source:** JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 429, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128353

**Abstract:** Biodegradable plastics would be gradually degraded by microbes after being used and discarded, forming biodegradable microplastics (BMPs). It is however not clear if it, like conventional microplastics, can affect the original soil ecological balance. In this study, the non-degradable LDPE (low density polyethylene) was used as the reference primary microplastic, and the BMP PBAT (polyadipate/butylene terephthalate) was used as the test object...

## Alteration of bacterial communities and co-occurrence networks as a legacy effect upon exposure to polyethylene residues under field environment

**Authors:** Shi Z, Xiong L, Liu T, Wu W

**Source:** JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, 426, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128126

**Abstract:** The use of plastic film mulch threatens the sustainability of the terrestrial environment because of the persistence of plastic residue. Identification of the potential long-term impacts of polyethylene (PE) residue on the soil microbiome has been overlooked in most studies. A long-term field experiment was conducted to expand this understanding by performing a co-occurrence network analysis of bacterial communities among different compartment niches (i.e. plastisphere, rhizosphere, and bulk soil) and three PE residue concentrations to determine the differential operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and keystone taxa...

## Biochar alters chemical and microbial properties of microplastic-contaminated soil

**Authors:** Palansooriya KN, Sang MK, Igalavithana AD et al.

**Source:** ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 209:112807, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.envres.2022.112807

**Abstract:** The occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in soils can negatively affect soil biodiversity and function. Soil amendments applied to MP-contaminated soil can alter the overall soil properties and enhance its functions and processes. However, little is known about how soil amendments improve the quality of MP-contaminated soils. Thus, the present study used a microcosm experiment to explore the potential effects of four types of biochar on the chemical and microbial properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) MP-contaminated soil under both drought and well-watered conditions...

## Substances dangereuses : vers un renforcement des règles européennes applicables aux CMR sur les lieux de travail

Red-on-Line 21/03/2022

Le jeudi 17 février 2022, le Parlement européen a adopté en première lecture un projet de directive modifiant la directive2004/37/CE du 29 avril 2004 concernant la protection des travailleurs contre les risques liés à l'exposition à des agents cancérigènes ou mutagènes au travail. [...] Si la directive est adoptée, les principales modifications viseront les points suivants :

Les substances reprotoxiques seraient intégrées au champ d'application de la directive (et non plus que les cancérigènes et mutagènes). Plusieurs définitions seront ainsi ajoutées pour les

substances reprotoxiques, les substances reprotoxiques sans seuil et des substances reprotoxiques avec seuil ;

Des valeurs limites biologiques seraient ajoutées pour les substances visées par la directive ;

Les valeurs limites d'exposition professionnelles (VLEP) figurant en annexe III de la directive évolueraient. Il s'agit notamment de modifications applicables au benzène mais également de l'ajout de nouvelles VLEP notamment pour l'acrylonitrile, les composés du nickel, le monoxyde de carbone ou encore le mercure, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns ;

Les modalités de formation des travailleurs exposés à ces substances feraient également l'objet d'évolution permettant une meilleure gestion des risques associés à cette exposition. [...]

Pharmaceutical pollution of
the world's rivers

**Authors:** Wilkinson JL, Boxall ABA, Kolpin DW, Leung KMY et al.

**Source:** PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 119(8): 2113947119, 2022, DOI 10.1073/pnas.2113947119

**Abstract:** Environmental exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can have negative effects on the health of ecosystems and humans. While numerous studies have monitored APIs in rivers, these employ different analytical methods, measure different APIs, and have ignored many of the countries of the world. This makes it difficult to quantify the scale of the problem from a global perspective. Furthermore, comparison of the existing data, generated for different studies/regions/continents, is challenging due to the vast differences between the analytical methodologies employed...

Ageing of copper, zinc and

[10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153860](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153860)

**Abstract:** The transformation and mobility of heavy metals and synthetic pesticides in soil depend on ageing, involving their chemical and physical distributions among soil fractions over time. Heavy metals and synthetic pesticides often cooccur in soil, although their ageing is usually evaluated separately and in bulk soil. Here, contrasting vineyard and crop soils were spiked with copper (Cu; 700 mg kg(-1)) and zinc (Zn; 200 mg kg(-1)) a and/or synthetic pesticides (5 mg kg(-1)), i.e., the fungicide metalaxyl (MTY) and herbicide S-metolachlor (SMET), to evaluate within 200 days their distribution among soil physical and chemical fractions...

[10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153899](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153899)

**Abstract:** Insects in agroecosystems contend with many stressors - e.g., chemicals, heat, nutrient
deprivation - that are often en-countered at low levels. Exposure to mild stress is now well known to induce hormetic (stimulatory) effects in insects, with implications for insect management, and ecological structure and function in agroecosystems. In this review, we examine the major ecological niches insects occupy or guilds to which they belong in agroecosystems and how hormesis can manifest within and across these groups. The mechanistic underpinnings of hormesis in insects are starting to become established, explaining the many phenotypic hormetic responses observed in insect reproduction, development, and behavior...

**Source:** BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY 51(1): 20200092, 2021, DOI 10.1590/2317-4889202120200092

**Abstract:** Ultramafic (UM) rocks are defined as igneous rocks that contain more than 90% of mafic minerals. Soils derived from ultramafic rock are generally nutrient-deficient and have concomitant high concentrations of potentially phytotoxic trace elements (Ni, Cr, Co, Mn). Consequently, to assess the dynamics of nutrients and metals in the ultramafic complex of Niquelandia (Brazil), soil solutions have been sampled in soils characterized by high Cr(VI) availability. The metal contents in surficial water have also been analyzed to investigate the metals' leaching and mobility...

## Transformation of PPCPs in the environment: Review of knowledge and classification of pathways according to parent molecule structures

**Abstract:** The freshwater pearl mussel (FWPM) *Margaritifera margaritifera* is a bivalve mollusk critically endangered in Europe. There is a special concern about the conservation of this species, but little is known about its sensitivity to environmental pollution. Here, acute toxicity tests were conducted at 16 degrees C according to a standard guide for conducting toxicity tests on freshwater mussels (ASTM international E2455), in order to assess toxicity thresholds for arsenic (As), aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), nitrates (NO3-), and orthophosphates (PO43-) on newly transformed juveniles of *M. margaritifera*...

# Chlordecone-contaminated epilithic biofilms show increased adsorption capacities

**Authors:** Hubas C, Monti D, Mortillaro JM, Augagneur S et al.

**Source:** SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 825: 153942, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153942

**Abstract:** The rivers of Guadeloupe and Martinique (French West Indies) show high levels of chlordecone (CLD) contamination. This persistent molecule has a dramatic impact on both aquatic ecosystems and human health. In these rivers, epilithic biofilms are the main endogenous primary producers and represent a central food source for fish and crustaceans. Recently, their viscoelastic properties have been shown to be effective in bio-assessing pollution in tropical environments. As these properties are closely related to the biochemical composition of

the biofilms, biochemical (fatty acids, pigments, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) monosaccharides) and molecular markers (T-RFLP fingerprints of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes) were investigated...

# Ultrasound-assisted sample preparation for simultaneous extraction of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants in sediment

**Source:** TALANTA 241: 123220, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.talanta.2022.123220

**Abstract:** Despite their very wide use in various fields, knowledge concerning surfactants in environmental solid matrices is generally poor. One of the difficulties encountered in the analysis of surfactants is their very diverse physicochemical properties which require different extraction techniques. The objective of this work was therefore to develop an extraction method in sediments that allows the simultaneous analysis of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants. Different extraction techniques (salting-out, ultrasound), solvents and additives were compared. The optimized method, followed by analysis by coupling liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, was then validated and applied to real samples in which the analytes were quantified by matrix matched calibration...

Source: ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION 294: 118627, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118627

**Abstract:** Copper (Cu), as an essential element, is added to animal feed to stimulate growth and prevent disease. The forage crop alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) produced during Cu phytoextraction may be considered a biofortified crop to substitute the Cu feed additives for livestock production, beneficially alleviating Cu contamination in soils and reducing its input into agriculture systems. To assess this, alfalfa was grown in three similar soils with different Cu levels, i.e., 11, 439 and 779 mg kg(-1) for uncontaminated soil (A), moderately Cu-contaminated soil (B) and highly Cu-contaminated soil (C), respectively...

Authors: Mulholland DS, Garnier J, Araujo DF, Duarte WC et al.

Source: ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH Early Access, 2022, DOI 10.1007/s11356-021-18101-1

**Abstract:** The present study investigated metal and metalloid dynamics in the estuarine water of the Doce River (Brazil) after the collapse of an iron ore-processing tailing dam in 2015. Spectroscopic and isotopic techniques were applied to bring new insights into the effects of

the dam failure on the dynamics and
hazardousness of particulate and dissolved
metal(loid) concentrations along the fluvial-
estuarine continuum. Spectroscopic analysis

Source: FEMS MICROBIOLOGY ECOLOGY 98(1): fiac006, 2022, DOI 10.1093/femsec/fiac006

**Abstract:** Eutrophication, due to anthropogenic pressures, is related to changes in skin microbiota composition and diversity in a freshwater fish species. The skin microbiota plays a major role in
health of organisms but it is still unclear how such bacterial assemblages respond to changes in environmental conditions and anthropogenic perturbations. In this study, we investigated the effects of the eutrophication of freshwater ecosystems on the skin microbiota of fish. We sampled wild gudgeon Gobio occitaniae from 17 river sites along an eutrophication gradient and compared their skin microbiota diversity and composition, using a 16s rRNA gene metabarcoding approach...

## Long-term exposure to environmental diclofenac concentrations impairs growth and induces molecular changes in *Lymnaea stagnalis* freshwater snails

**Authors:** Bouly L, Courant F, Bonnafe, E, Carayon JL et al.

**Source:** CHEMOSPHERE 291(3): 133065, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.133065

**Abstract:** As pharmaceutical substances are highly used in human and veterinary medicine and subsequently released in the environment, they represent emerging contaminants in the aquatic compartment. Diclofenac (DCF) is one of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in water and little research has been focused on its long-term effects on freshwater invertebrates. In this study, we assessed the chronic impacts of DCF on the freshwater gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis using life history, behavioral and molecular approaches...

## Legacy-micropollutant contamination levels in major river basins based on findings from the Rhone Sediment Observatory

**Authors:** Delile H, Dendievel AM, Yari A, Masson M et al.

**Source:** HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES 36(2): 14511, 2022, DOI 10.1002/hyp.14511

**Abstract:** For more than half a century, chemical contamination has progressively spread to all the large river basins. Large river outlets integrate multiple anthropogenic pressures in watersheds, making them the largest source of sediment-bound contaminants to continental shelf areas. However, comparing particulate micropollutant contaminations between the large river basins is a challenging task, especially due to the scarcity of long-term river monitoring programs. Here we address this issue, with a focus on legacy particulate micropollutants (polychlorobiphenyls [PCB], polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs] and trace metal elements [TME]) yields. For this purpose, we employed a bottom-up multiscale approach to chemical contamination in river basins that takes micropollutant yields measured in the Rhone River sub-basins (France) as a benchmark of other large river basins...

**Source:** WATER 14(4): 511, 2022, DOI 10.3390/w14040511

**Abstract:** Road runoff (RR) is an important vector of micropollutants towards groundwater and soils, threatening the environment and ecosystems. Through combined chemical and biological approaches, the purpose of this study was to get insights on specific toxicants present in RR from two sites differing by their traffic intensity and their toxicological risk assessment. Non-target screening was performed by HRMS on RR dissolved phase. Ecotoxicological risk was evaluated in a zebrafish embryos model and on rat liver mitochondrial respiratory chain. Specific HRMS fingerprints were obtained for each site, reflecting their respective traffic intensities...
## Metabolic, cellular and defense responses to single and co-exposure to carbamazepine and methylmercury in *Dreissena polymorpha*

**Authors:** Baratange C, Paris-Palacios S, Bonnard I, Delahaut L et al.

**Source:** ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION 300: 118933, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.118933

**Abstract:** Carbamazepine (CBZ) and Hg are widespread and persistent micropollutants in aquatic environments. Both pollutants are known to trigger similar toxicity mechanisms, e.g. reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Here, their effects were assessed in the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha, frequently used as a freshwater model in ecotoxicology and biomonitoring. Single and co-exposures to CBZ (3.9 μg L⁻¹) and MeHg (280 ng L⁻¹) were performed for 1 and 7 days. Metabolomics analyses evidenced that the co-exposure was the most disturbing after 7 days, reducing the amount of 25 metabolites involved in protein synthesis, energy metabolism, antioxidant response and osmoregulation, and significantly altering cells and organelles' structure supporting a reduction of functions of gills and digestive glands...

**Authors:** Simoes M, Huss A, Brouwer M, Krop E et al.

**Source:** SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 817: 152932, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.152932

**Abstract:** We explored associations between residential proximity to specific crops, pesticide use and cause-specific mortality in a prospective census-based cohort study in The Netherlands. Selecting inhabitants aged ≥62;30 living in less urbanized areas, at the same address for nine years up to baseline (2004) from a national register-based cohort, we followed similar to 3.1 million individuals for cause-specific mortality until 2012. We estimated the area of specific crop groups cultivated within buffers of 50 m, 100 m and 250 m around each individual's residence and the amount of fungicides, herbicides and insecticides used within the same buffers for the period 1995-2003...

**Authors:** Yusa V, Fernandez SF, Dualde P, Lopez A et al.

**Source:** ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 205: 112437, 2022, DOI 10.1016/j.envres.2021.112437

**Abstract:** Although Spain does not have a regular national human biomonitoring program yet,
different research groups are active in evaluating the exposure of children and adults to chemicals. In the last seven years, several studies in Spain have evaluated the internal exposure of the population to currently used pesticides. The present review analyzes the scope of these studies, the employed analytical methods and the main results of the exposure and risk, mainly for children and mothers. The frequency of exposure to biomarkers of exposure to organophosphate pesticides is high. Some non-specific dialkyl phosphate metabolites (DAPs), such as the diethyl phosphate (DEP), present Detection Frequencies (DFs) in the range of 65-92% in various studies...

I-Lessons Learned on
Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbons, Metals,
Metalloids, and Pesticides

**Authors:** Pena A, Duarte S, Pereira AMPT, Silva LJG, et al.,

**Source:** MOLECULES 27(1): 27010242, 2022, DOI 10.3390/molecules27010242

**Abstract:** Human biomonitoring (HBM) data provide information on total exposure regardless of the route and sources of exposure. HBM studies have been applied to quantify human exposure to contaminants and environmental/ occupational pollutants by determining the parent compounds, their metabolites or even their reaction products in biological matrices. HBM studies performed among the Portuguese population are disperse and limited. To overcome this knowledge gap, this review gathers, for the first time, the published Portuguese HBM information concerning PAHs, metals, metalloids, and pesticides concentrations detected in the urine, serum, milk, hair, and nails of different groups of the Portuguese population.

**Authors:** Ayaz D, Oncel S, Karadag E

**Source:** International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health 13, 2022, DOI 10.1007/s00420-022-01838-8

**Abstract:** The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of educational interventions aimed at agricultural workers' knowledge,
behaviour, and risk perception for reducing the risk of pesticide exposure. All studies published in the English language between the years 2000 and 2020 were screened on relevant databases. It was determined that educational interventions are an appropriate method for reducing the pesticide exposure risks of agricultural workers. To increase the effectiveness of these interventions, it is recommended that consideration is given to a theoretical basis, the use of multiple education components, and evidence-based practices.

# Animals in Wildlife Sanctuaries at Greater Risk of Pesticide Exposure from Internal Agricultural Practices

Beyond Pesticides, March 30, 2022

An article by the Audubon Society covers ongoing advocacy to end pesticide spraying in wildlife refuges. Wildlife refuges act as a sanctuary, providing habitat and protection essential for the survival and recovery of species nationwide. However, portions of the wildlife sanctuary can have agricultural uses, allowing farmers to cultivate crops on various acres, subsequently applying pesticides. Pesticide spraying in or around wildlife refuges threatens the survivability and recovery of species that inhabit the area. Moreover, many of these pesticides are highly toxic to human and animal health. Analyses like these are significant, especially since the globe is currently going through the Holocene Extinction, Earth's 6th mass extinction, with one million species of plants and animals at risk.

# Producers Warned by EPA that PFAS Is Contaminating Pesticides and Food

Beyond Pesticides, March 29, 2022

Plastic storage barrels contaminated with polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may be in violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), according to an open letter released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last month. Manufacturers, producers, processors, distributors, users, and those that dispose of fluorinated High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) containers or other similar plastics that form PFAS as a byproduct were notified in the letter of requirements under federal law. The notice comes two years after EPA was first alerted
to the presence of PFAS in a mosquito pesticide used by the state of Massachusetts known as Anvil 10+10. “Today’s action will help ensure that responsible parties are held accountable for any future PFAS contamination affecting communities,” said Assistant Administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Michal Freedhoffm PhD.

# Unleashing the influence of invertebrates through application of new approach methods

EPA 18/03/2022

Presentation to the University of Minnesota Entomology Seminar January 2022.

Many new methods are being developed to make greater use of existing toxicity data for understanding chemical safety. The focus in development of these approaches has been to reduce and/or replace animal testing, generally referring to vertebrate toxicity testing. However, the approaches being developed may also be applied more broadly and could be used to understand the effects of chemicals on invertebrates as well. In particular, there are methods that gather toxicity data from the published literature to understand how a chemical may adversely affect biological pathways in tested model organisms. This pathway knowledge can aid in understanding where research may be lacking for invertebrate species and help guide the development of screening assays that can capture the unique biology of invertebrates. Further, because few invertebrates are used as model organism for chemical risk assessment to protect the > 1.25 million invertebrate species that have been described it is important to understand how broadly data generated can be extrapolated to other organisms. The US EPA SeqAPASS tool can be used to understand similarities and differences between species at the molecular level to predict chemical susceptibility for untested species. [...]

# Infographic: Europe needs to ban glyphosate to protect farmers, our health and the environment

## ENV-HEALTH 17/03/2022

A new infographic and social media assets launched by the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) today illustrate why the European Commission and governments must ban the harmful pesticide glyphosate to protect farmers, our health and the environment [1].

Available for download as PDF or PNG

Glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide in the world, which is of concern since its negative impacts on human health and the environment are well-documented. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the gold standard for cancer research, finds exposure to glyphosate may cause cancer. Exposure to glyphosate-based pesticides has also been linked to adverse effects on human development, reproduction and hormonal systems, according to evidence from the independent scientific literature.

# Pesticide Use on Crops for Meat and Dairy Feed Further Threatens Endangered Species

Beyond Pesticides, March 1, 2022

A report by the Independent finds chemical-intensive farming of crops for animal feed puts thousands of endangered species at risk. U.S. farmlands use more than 235 million pounds of pesticide (i.e., herbicides and insecticides) solely for animal feed production, many of which are highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs). Several HHP hazard categories include acutely toxic, chronic health hazards, and environmental hazards. Therefore, animal feed production intensifies global pollution, increases pesticide exposure, and degrades human, animal, and ecological health. [...]

Depuis le retrait du Patton (chlorpyriphos-méthyl) en 2020, le phosmet représentait la dernière solution réellement efficace pour lutter contre les grosses altises du colza, un coléoptère de 3 à 5 mm baptisé Psyllodes chrysocephala, reconnaissable à son corps noir et brillant aux reflets bleu métallique.

# Mosquito Exposed to Pesticides Can Withstand Further Pesticide Chemical Controls

## Beyond Pesticides, February 24, 2022

Widespread, intensive pesticide use for mosquito control has allowed genetic mutations to persist among mosquito populations, causing subsequent resistance to future chemical exposure. According to a study published in Scientific Reports, two common species of female mosquitoes learned to evade pesticides following non-fatal exposure through smell. More concerning is the survival rate of these pre-exposed mosquitoes, as it is more than double that of unexposed mosquitoes. [...]

# Deadly fungus resistant to fungicide jumps from farms to people, as human pathogen spreads

## Beyond Pesticides, February 23, 2022

Fungicide use in agriculture is driving the spread of multi-fungicide resistant human pathogens, finds a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Georgia. While this occurrence has long been an assumption based on the rampant overuse of fungicides in chemical-dependent farming, scientists have now found clear evidence linking the development of widespread fungal resistance to farming practices, rather than health care use. Despite strong evidence that commonly used synthetic pesticides in chemical-intensive farming are driving resistance that threatens human health on a global scale, the U.S. government has not only failed to take action, it has fought against international efforts to slow the crisis, at the behest of the agrichemical industry.
