Project description:Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) is recognized as a cost-effective approach to reduce contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) effluents. However, its efficiency in removing the associated biological effects is still poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the efficiency of three pilot SAT systems, two of them enhanced with reactive barriers containing different proportions of sand and organic materials, in removing toxicity associated to CECs. SATs were fed with secondary effluents from the Palamós WWTP (N.E. Spain) during two consecutive campaigns scheduled before and after the summer of 2020. Fifteen water samples were collected from the WWTP effluent, below the barriers and 15 m into the aquifer. Transcriptomic analyses of zebrafish embryos exposed to the corresponding water extracts revealed a wide range of toxic activities in the WWTP effluents. Results demonstrated that the associated responses were reduced by more than 70% by SAT, achieving control levels in some cases. Similar results were obtained when human HepG2 hepatic cells were tested for cytotoxic and dioxin-like responses. Toxicity reduction appeared to be partially determined by the reactive barrier composition and/or SAT managing and was correlated with the removal of CECs by SAT. In conclusion, SAT appears to be a very promising approach for efficiently reducing the effects of recalcitrant pollutants from WWTP secondary effluents on the environment and human health.

Project description:Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in treated municipal effluents have the potential to adversely impact exposed organisms prompting elevated public concern. Using transcriptomic tools, we investigated changes in gene expression and cellular pathways in the liver of male fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to 5% concentrations of full secondary-treated (HTP) or advanced primary-treated (PL) municipal wastewater effluents containing CECs. Gene expression changes were associated with apical endpoints (plasma vitellogenin and changes in secondary sexual characteristics). Of 32 effluent CECs analyzed, 28 were detected including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, hormones, and industrial compounds. Transcript patterns differed between effluents, however < 10% of these had agreement in the detected response (e.g. transcrips involved in xenobiotic detoxification, oxidative stress and apoptosis) in both effluents. Exposure to PL effluent caused changes in transcript levels of genes involved in metabolic pathways (e.g., lipid transport and steroid metabolism). Exposure to HTP effluent affected transcripts involved in signaling pathways (e.g., focal adhesion assembly and extracellular matrix). Exposure to both effluents produced significantly higher levels of plasma VTG and changes in secondary sexual characteristics (e.g., ovipositor development). Taken together the results suggest, a potential association between some transcriptomic changes and higher biological responses following effluent exposure; and a potential adverse outcome pathway following exposure to complex chemical mixtures containing CECs -. Furthermore, this study identified responses in key genes and pathways not previously implicated in exposure to CECS, , which could be consistent with effluent exposure (e.g., oxidative stress) in addition to other pathway responses specific to the effluent type. This may be useful for assessing the adverse health effects of fish by effluents exposure to CECs.

Project description:Despite recent knowledge of the potential environmental impact that compounds present in municipal wastewater effluents, including contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), may have, the implications of fish exposure to this contaminant mixtures are not completely understood. The effects caused by effluent CECs may be subtle and diverse, thus the need for sensitive and comprehensive tools such as gene expression to detect such responses. In this study, we conducted laboratory exposures that examined plasma concentrations of vitellogenin (VTG), changes in secondary sexual characteristics and gene expression in sexually mature male fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to environmentally realistic (0.5%) and higher (5%) concentrations of municipal wastewater effluents. Secondary and primary treated effluents were used. Several of the 32 CECs investigated were detected, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, hormones, current use pesticides and industrial compounds. The percent of males with detectable levels of VTG was higher in fish exposed to effluent treatments. An increased number of males with changes in secondary sexual characteristics (e.g. development of ovipositors), was observed in fish exposed to 5% effluent treatments. Gene expression data indicated that overall expression patterns were characteristic to each effluent. Higher numbers of differentially expressed genes were observed in fish exposed to primary treated effluent when compared to controls. Differentially expressed genes belonged to several functional categories, including xenobiotic metabolism, estogenicity and energy/metabolism processes. Gene expression data provided information to understand some of the mechanisms behind the effects observed at higher biological levels. To investigate gene expression responses resulting from exposure to POTW effluents, two laboratory experiments were conducted using effluent from San Diego (Point Loma; SD) and Los Angeles (Hyperion; LA). The LA effluent received secondary treatment and the SD effluent received advanced primary treatment. Treatments used during exposures consisted of negative controls (moderately hard water), positive controls (E2), and 0.5% and 5% effluent concentrations. The 0.5% concentration of effluent represented an environmentally realistic exposure level. The 5% effluent concentration represented a higher level at which we expected biological responses. The exposures lasted 14 days. Treatments: EFFHa = 5% primary treated effluent EFFHb = 5% secondary treated effluent EFFLa = 0.5% primary treated effluent E2a = Estradiol, positive control for primary effluent E2b = Estradiol, positive control for secondary effluent CTRLa = Moderately hard water, negative control for primary effluent CTRLb = Moderately hard water, negative control for secondary effluent

Project description:Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) can be measured in waters across the United States, including the tributaries of the Great Lakes. The extent to which these contaminants affect gene expression in aquatic wildlife is unclear. This dataset presents the full hepatic transcriptomes of laboratory reared fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) caged at multiple sites within the Milwaukee Estuary area of concern and control sites. Following 4 days of in situ exposure, liver tissue was removed from males at each site for RNA extraction and sequencing, yielding a total of 116 samples from which libraries were prepared, pooled, and sequenced. For each exposure site, 179 chemical analytes were also assessed. These data were created with the intention of inviting research on possible transcriptomic changes observed in aquatic species exposed to CECs. Access to both full sequencing reads of animal samples as well as water contaminant data across multiple Great Lakes sites will allow others to explore the health of these ecosystems, in support of the aims of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

Project description:The diverse mixture of contaminants frequently present in estuarine wetlands complicates their assessment by routine chemical or biological analyses. We investigated the use of gene expression to assess contaminant exposure and the condition of southern California (USA) estuarine fish. Liver gene expression, plasma estradiol concentrations and gonad histopathology were used to investigate the biological condition of longjaw mudsuckers (Gillichthys mirabilis). A wide array of metals, legacy organochlorine pesticides, PCBs and contaminants of emerging concern were detected in sediments and whole fish. Overall gene expression patterns were characteristic to each of four sites investigated in this study. Differentially expressed genes belonged to several functional categories including xenobiotic metabolism, detoxification, disease and stress responses. In general, plasma estradiol concentrations were similar among fish from all areas. Some fish gonads had pathologic changes (e.g. infection, inflammation) that could indicate weakened immune systems and chronic stress. The differential expression of some genes involved in stress responses correlated with the prevalence of histologic gonad lesions. This study indicates that sentinel fish gene expression data is a promising tool for assessing the biological condition of fish exposed to environmental contaminants. Key Words: Gene expression, fish, contaminants, estuaries. This abstract belongs to a manuscript that has been submitted to Environmental Science and Technology. The manuscript has been invited as part of an especial Omics Issue which is expected to be published in 2012.

In this study, we used hepatic gene expression in wild longjaw mudsuckers (Gillichthys mirabilis) to assess biological responses from anthropogenically influenced wetlands. We investigated the relationships among gene expression responses, chemical exposure and additional biological responses in this species. We studied estuarine wetlands that had diverse contaminant characteristics and received three main types of contaminant inputs in different proportions: agricultural runoff, urban runoff and municipal wastewater.
