ClearToxicological Interaction Effects of Herbicides and the Environmental Pollutants on Aquatic Organisms
This review examines the toxicological interaction effects of herbicides in combination with other environmental contaminants on aquatic organisms, particularly fish, noting that herbicides in water bodies rarely occur in isolation and may interact synergistically or antagonistically with co-occurring xenobiotics. The authors synthesize evidence on how herbicide-pollutant mixtures affect fish physiology in ways that differ from single-compound exposures.

Toxicological Effects of Glufosinate-Ammonium-Containing Commercial Formulations on Biomphalaria glabrata in Aquatic Environments: A Multidimensional Study from Embryotoxicity to Histopathology
Researchers conducted a comprehensive toxicity study of the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium on the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata, examining effects from embryo development through adult histopathology. The study found that embryos were far more sensitive to the herbicide than adults, with implications for understanding how agricultural chemical runoff affects non-target aquatic organisms in freshwater ecosystems.
Effects of combined nutrient and pesticide exposure on algal biomass and Daphnia magna abundance
Researchers investigated the individual and combined effects of nutrients and pesticides on Daphnia magna abundance and algal biomass under controlled conditions, examining how agricultural inputs — fertilizers driving eutrophication and pesticides causing direct toxicity — interact to affect freshwater biodiversity.
New Methods for Testing/Determining the Environmental Exposure to Glyphosate in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Plants
Researchers tested new methods for detecting glyphosate exposure in sunflower plants, identifying sensitive biomarkers at the molecular and physiological level that could improve environmental monitoring of herbicide contamination in agricultural settings.
Widely used herbicide metolachlor can promote harmful bloom formation by stimulating cyanobacterial growth and driving detrimental effects on their chytrid parasites
Researchers found that metolachlor, a common agricultural herbicide, promotes harmful algae-like cyanobacteria blooms both directly by spurring their growth and indirectly by damaging the fungal parasites that normally keep cyanobacteria populations in check — suggesting pesticide runoff can disrupt lake ecosystems in compounding ways.
Effect of plastic pollution on freshwater flora: A meta-analysis approach to elucidate the factors influencing plant growth and biochemical markers
Meta-analysis of 43 studies found that higher concentrations of micro- and nanoplastics negatively affected aquatic plant growth while increasing protein content and antioxidant enzyme activity as a stress response. Among polymers, PVC most strongly disrupted photosynthetic pigments, and algal species were the most growth-sensitive plant group.
