Storage of WDGS under hermetic and non-hermetic conditions : effect on sensory properties, microorganisms, mycotoxins and nutritional value. by Alvarez, Estefanía, Cardoso, Marcelo Leandro, Depetris, Gustavo, Castellari, Claudia Carla, Cristos, Diego Sebastian, Montiel, María Delfina, Bartosik, Ricardo Enrique

“…WDGS quality evolution was evaluated through sensory, microbiological, biochemical, nutritional and toxicological parameters. Results indicated that in the non-hermetic treatment, even though no evidence of nutritional quality losses was found in the mass of WDGS, spoilage developed at the surface after 10 day of storage. …”

Challenges to wastewater aquaculture: a case study of traditional and emerging contaminant concentrations in African catfish [Abstract only] by Asem-Hiablie, S., Yeboah-Agyepong, M., Amoah, Philip, Church, C.D., Shappell, N., Schoenfuss, H.L., Aikins, S., Agbo, N.W., Drechsel, Pay

“…Furthermore, the levels of heavy metals found in fish tissue were below the expected daily nutritional requirement (1-2 mg) for humans and poses insignificant toxicological risks. The mean estrogen concentrations were higher in the wastewater ponds than the reference and fish serum assayed by E-SCREEN showed significantly higher estrogenicity in female vs. male catfish in the RP compared to the WSP (p = 0.05). …”

Chronic toxicity, bioavailability and bioaccumulation of Zn, Cu and Pb in Lactuca sativa exposed to waste from an abandoned gold mine by Calabro, María Rosario, Roqueiro, Gonzalo, Tapia Balmaceda, Raúl Esteban, Crespo, Diana Elvira, Bargiela, Martha Fidela, Young, Brian Jonathan

“…High levels of Zn (1453.3 ± 220.3 μg g−1) were found in plant tissue compared to Pb (277.2 ± 18.0 μg g−1) and Cu (255.3 ± 25.6 μg g−1). Toxicological endpoints correlated with metal uptake and mining waste concentration. …”
