Kintančio klimato poveikis antimikrobinių medžiagų ekotoksiškumui vandens ir sausumos augalams / Climate change effects on the ecotoxicity of antimicrobials to aquatic and terrestrial plants

Abstract

Šiuolaikinis pasaulis susiduria su klimato kaita. Daugėja įrodymų, kad kintančios klimato sąlygos gali pakeisti teršalų elgseną ir toksiškumą, taip pat ir dirvožemio savybes. Nepaisant to, vis dar mažai žinoma apie klimato kaitos įtaką naujųjų organinių junginių (NOJ) ekotoksiškumui augalams. Siūlomu tyrimu siekiama išanalizuoti pagrindinius triklozano fito-toksiškumo mechanizmus ir ištirti, kaip klimato kaita paveiks TCS toksiškumą sausumos ir vandens augalams. Reported studies of TCS toxicity to terrestrial and aquatic plants mostly rely on whole-organism morphological or physiological endpoints. While organisms can show some tolerance towards toxicants, it does not imply that there are no effects, as there could be some changes at physiological or biochemical levels, thus, there is a need for more profound studies about TCS-induced effect at biochemical plant level to discover underlying toxicity mechanisms. Moreover, climate change is an increasingly urgent problem with potentially far-reaching consequences for life on Earth. Little is known about the effect of single and complex climate factors on the ecotoxicity of the EOCs, including TCS. The proposed study is aimed at analyzing underlying TCS phytotoxicity mechanisms and to investigate how climate change will affect TCS toxicity to terrestrial and aquatic plants.
