Our Oct. issue featured article is on karst waters of the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico & shows that these hydrological systems contain metals, nutrients, fecal bacteria, & PFAS, & because these ecosystems are interconnected, there is potential for the contaminants to travel long distances. #science🧪⬇️

The August issue of AECT features an article on the effects on invertebrate communities of low flows in a stream mesocosm exposed to pesticides. Low-flow conditions caused a reduction in the abundance of EPT insect larvae and a web-building spider. See article here:

The July issue of AECT features an article on the distribution of organic and inorganic contaminants in the supra-glacial debris from 16 glaciers in Italy. The contaminants deposited in the glaciers from atmospheric transport and local sources could be remobilized due to climate change. See link ⬇️🧪

Join us in Toronto, Canada in June of 2026 for the 14th IWA Micropol and Ecohazard conference to share the latest research on micropollutants in the environment. Check out the conference website: www.micropol2026to.org

The AECT May issue features an article that shows that fire retardants applied in forested wildlands persist in the environment and are toxic to fish when flushed into streams during rain events, although the underlying substrate may alter the toxicity of these products. Link here:

@zoology.ubc.ca Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology is highlighting an article from your department on our Bluesky feed. Check it out here!

The AECT April issue features an article on osmoregulatory stress in fish caused by salinization of natural waters. The authors showed that the electrical gradient across the gills between the fish and water indicates osmoregulatory stress, and DOC and pH modify the toxicity of saline conditions.🧪1/

The AECT Feb. issue includes an article on PFAS contamination in freshwater fish collected near former & current military bases with a history of using AFFF foams. PFOS, the foaming agent in AFFF, was the dominant PFAS compound in fish from downstream sites. #science 🧪

Jan '25 AECT issue includes a paper describing the toxicity & bioaccumulation of 226Ra in daphnia. A nominal concentration of 50 Bq/L reduced survival and 226Ra was found to bioaccumulate. However, if mines in Canada meet effluent guidelines, it's unlikely that downstream effects will be observed.🧪

A big THANK YOU to all who submitted papers to our journal in 2024! We strive to publish articles that inform & lead to a better understanding of contaminant interactions in our environment. Excellent science and shared knowledge are critical to managing our impact on Earth. Happy New Year to all! 🧪

The AECT Nov. issue features, in our special collection on "Contaminants in Birds", an article on the levels of POPs in serum of bald eagle nestlings near 5 dammed rivers in the USA. Although POPs were higher in bald eagles located below the dams, reproductive success did not seem to be affected. 🧪

Welcome to the new feed for International journal Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology. We publish papers describing new discoveries related to chemical contamination of air, water, soil & biota. The journal is published under Springer Nature, Springer Publishing. 🧪 #Science
