6. Initial evaluation of the combined effects of nanoplastics and 17α-ethinylestradiol on D. magna
University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildningAbstract : Exposure of combined pollutants is as of today not a very well-researched field of environmental science due to the complex interactions that may occur. Nanoplastic particles (NP) in particular are lacking studies due to the relatively new interest in the subject. READ MORE

7. The estrogen receptor in the freshwater pulmonate gastropod Radix balthica: Investigating changing activity levels from exposure to 17α -ethinylestradiol
University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildningAbstract : Endocrine disruption from synthetic human estrogens in molluscs has not been investigated as closely as in vertebrates. This has led to a missing piece in the important puzzle investigating the differences in effects between diverse animal groups after exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, EDCs. READ MORE

8. The Effect of Synthetic Estrogen on Foraging and Predator Avoidance in the Common Roach (Rutilus rutilus)
University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildningAbstract : Synthetic estrogens that originate mainly from oral contraceptive pills reach our waters through sewage effluent and potentially affect organisms in the natural environment. This study focused on the effects of the synthetic estrogen 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) on the foraging and predator avoidance behaviors of the planktivorous fish roach (Rutilus rutilus), a common fish in Swedish lakes and rivers.

9. Effects of Ethinylestradiol, EE2, exposure on Poecilia reticulta male specific genes, DMRT1 and CYP11b
University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaperAbstract : Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in every day product, can either be natural or man-made and usually exists in a concerning concentration in our aquatic environment which in turn could affect teleost reproduction. EDCs exposure in fishes may result in changes in their reproductive physiology and morphology resulting in for example induction in gonopodia in female fish when exposed to androgens and in males exposed to female estrogen a reduced sperm count and skewed sex ration.

10. The impact of 17α-ethinylestradiol on roach (Rutilus rutilus) growth
University essay from SLU/Dept. of MicrobiologyAbstract : 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), found in pharmaceuticals is regularly consumed and secreted mainly from women. Consequently, a significant level of this endocrine disrupting chemical is cont inuously discharged into the aquatic environment. READ MORE
