Multiple species toxicity of selected platinum group of elements: focusing on Hydra vulgaris gene expression responses

This study investigates the aquatic toxicity of various platinum group elements (PGEs) using multiple species, with a focus on morphological and genetic responses in Hydra vulgaris. Sublethal changes and significant gene expression alterations were detected, and findings suggest that PGEs can impact aquatic organisms at environmentally relevant concentrations near urban wastewater discharge sites. All data are subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretations and conclusions. Citation: Auclair, J., Roubeau-Dumont, E., Turcotte, P. et al.

A key element of the Chemicals Management Plan is the monitoring and surveillance of levels of harmful chemicals in Canadians and their environment. Monitoring and surveillance are essential to identify and track exposure to hazards in the environment and…
