Genotoxic Properties of Polystyrene (PS) Microspheres in the Filter-Feeder Mollusk <i>Mytilus trossulus</i> (Gould, 1850) by Victor Pavlovich Chelomin, Andrey Alexandrovich Mazur, Valentina Vladimirovna Slobodskova, Sergey Petrovich Kukla, Nadezda Vladimirovna Dovzhenko

“…In this study, we investigated the potential risk of polystyrene (PS) microspheres on the genome integrity of cells of different tissues (gills and digestive gland) of the filter-feeder mollusk <i>Mytilus trossulus,</i> using a comet assay. …”

SiO₂ Nanoparticles Suspension Exposures with Marine Invertebrates: Genotoxicity Response by Sergey Petrovich Kukla, Victor Pavlovich Chelomin, Andrey Alexandrovich Mazur, Valentina Vladimirovna Slobodskova, Marina Alexandrovna Mazur

“…To highlight this problem, experiments were conducted with short-term SiO₂ NPs exposure to the sand dollar <i>Scaphechinus mirabilis</i> sperm, and a 6-day exposure to the adult bivalve mollusk <i>Mytilus trossulus</i>. SiO₂ NPs exposure caused an increase in the concentration of Si in the digestive gland of the mollusk, resulting in DNA damage increase. …”

Dietary Exposure to Particles of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Induces Different Responses in Periwinkles <i>Littorina brevicula</i> by Victor Pavlovich Chelomin, Valentina Vladimirovna Slobodskova, Sergey Petrovich Kukla, Andrey Alexandrovich Mazur, Nadezda Vladimirovna Dovzhenko, Avianna Fayazovna Zhukovskaya, Alexander Alexandrovich Karpenko, Maxim Alexandrovich Karpenko, Vyacheslav Sergeevich Odintsov

“…Similarly, a comet assay showed an almost twofold increase in DNA damage in digestive gland cells compared to the control group. In mollusks fed with PTFE-containing food, no similar changes were recorded.…”

Oxidative Stress in Far Eastern Mussel <i>Mytilus trossulus</i> (Gould, 1850) Exposed to Combined Polystyrene Microspheres (µPSs) and CuO-Nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) by Nadezda Vladimirovna Dovzhenko, Victor Pavlovich Chelomin, Andrey Alexandrovich Mazur, Sergey Petrovich Kukla, Valentina Vladimirovna Slobodskova, Aleksandra Anatolievna Istomina, Avianna Fayazovna Zhukovskaya

“…Based on a battery of biochemical markers, it was shown that oxidative stress was induced at varying degrees in the experimental mollusks when exposed to CuO-NPs and µPSs both separately and in combination. …”

Biomarker Effects of Diesel Fuel Hydrocarbons Absorbed to PE-Plastic Debris on Mussel <i>Mytilus trossulus</i> by Nadezda Vladimirovna Dovzhenko, Victor Pavlovich Chelomin, Andrey Alexandrovich Mazur, Valentina Vladimirovna Slobodskova, Aleksandra Anatolyevna Istomina, Sergey Petrovich Kukla

“…In the experiment, direct contact between plastic fragments and mussels was excluded, meaning the filter-feeding mollusks ingested the desorbed PH and leaching components existing in PE from the water.…”
