Abstract
Amphibians have an essential role in the ecosystems they inhabit. They are a link between the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and make up a large part of the environmental biomass. Chemical pollution is one of reasons for significant worldwide decreases in amphibian populations and there is a need for understanding the effect of different contaminants on them. Phenanthrene is one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that was identified in the aquatic environment and previous studies showed that it can negatively impact aquatic organisms. Studies also showed that nanoplastics can affect the toxicity of other compounds. In this study phenanthrene showed to have a negative effect on embryos and tadpoles. A difference in the sensitivity of the two tested amphibian species was observed, as well as a different sensitivity between embryos and tadpoles. Nanoplastic slightly increased the negative effect of phenanthrene, but this needs to be confirmed with further studies. Also, in vitro approach showed potential for studying negative effects of organic compounds on amphibians, but more research and method adjustments are needed for this to be supported.
Abstract (croatian)
Vodozemci imaju bitnu ulogu u ekosustavima u kojima žive. Oni su poveznica između vodenog i kopnenog ekosustava i čine veliki dio biomase okoliša. Kemijsko onečišćenje jedan je od razloga značajnog smanjenja populacija vodozemaca diljem svijeta te postoji potreba za razumijevanjem utjecaja različitih zagađivača. Fenantren je jedan od policikličkih aromatskih ugljikovodika (PAU) koji je identificiran u vodenom okolišu i prethodne studije su pokazale da može negativno utjecati na vodene organizme. Studije su također pokazale da nanoplastika može utjecati na toksičnost drugih spojeva. U ovom istraživanju fenantren je pokazao negativan učinak na embrije i punoglavce. Uočena je razlika u osjetljivosti dviju ispitivanih vrsta vodozemaca, kao i različita osjetljivost između embrija i punoglavaca. Nanoplastika je neznatno povećala negativni učinak fenantrena, ali to treba potvrditi daljnjim istraživanjima. Također, in vitro pristup pokazao je potencijal za proučavanje negativnih učinaka organskih spojeva na vodozemce, ali je potrebno više istraživanja i prilagodbi kako bi se ova metoda mogla koristiti u te svrhe.
