• Cytotoxic effects of pesticides on microalgae determined by flow cytometry 

      Rioboo, Carmen; Prado, Raquel; Herrero, Concepción; Cid, Ángeles (Nova Science Publishers, 2009)
      As much as ca. 99.7% of the applied load of pesticides is dispersed in the environment, not reaching the target pests. In this way, pesticides enter into aquatic ecosystems from agricultural runoff or leaching and, as a ...
    • Use of Microalgae as Biological Indicators of Pollution: Looking for New Relevant Cytotoxicity Endpoints 

      Cid, Ángeles; Prado, Raquel; Rioboo, Carmen; Suárez-Bregua, Paula; Herrero, Concepción (Nova Science Publishers, 2012)
      An important amount of the applied load of pesticides enter into aquatic ecosystems from agricultural runoff or leaching and, as a consequence, have become some of the organic pollutants that appear most frequently on ...
    • Use of the Comet Assay to Evaluate Pesticide Toxicity on Non-Target Microalgae 

      Prado, Raquel; García Díaz, Rosa; Rioboo, Carmen; Abalde, Julio; Herrero, Concepción; Cid, Ángeles (Nova Science Publishers, 2009)
      Aquatic environments are often contaminated with numerous organic and inorganic compounds. More than 90% of the applied load of pesticides is dispersed in the environment, reaching non-target species of these aquatic ...
