High-throughput acute and chronic toxicity tests using Vibrio fischeri were used to assess the toxicity of a variety of fungicides, herbicides, and neonicotinoids.

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) effluents are primary sources of pathogenic microorganisms and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) released into the aquatic environment.

Two yeast-based bioassays were used to assess the endocrine activity potential of transformation products formed during the ozonation of water containing a variety of pesticides.

This study investigated the presence of a variety of pesticides (herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides) in effluent of three wastewater treatment plants as well as their endocrine activities using yeast-based in vitro assays.
