Agardh: Effects under Different Phosphate Conditions. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:98246-98260. [PMID: 37606771 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29371-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
The growth response and incorporation of As into the Sargassum horneri was evaluated for up to 7 days using either arsenate (As(V)), arsenite (As(III)) or methylarsonate (MMAA(V) and DMAA(V)) at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 μM with various phosphate (P) levels (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 μM). Except As(III), algal chlorophyll fluorescence was almost similar and insignificant, regardless of whether different concentrations of P or As(V) or MMAA(V) or DMAA(V) were provided (p > 0.05). As(III) at higher concentrations negatively affected algal growth rate, though concentrations of all As species had significant effects on growth rate (p < 0.01). Growth studies indicated that toxicity and sensitivity of As species to the algae followed the trend: As(III) > As(V) > MMAA(V) ~ DMAA(V). As bioaccumulation was varied significantly depending on the increasing concentrations of all As species and increasing P levels considerably affected As(V) uptake but no other As species uptake (p < 0.01). The algae accumulated As(V) and As(III) more efficiently than MMAA(V) and DMAA(V). At equal concentrations of As (4 μM) and P (0 μM), the alga was able to accumulate 638.2 ± 71.3, 404.1 ± 70.6, 176.7 ± 19.6, and 205.6 ± 33.2 nM g-1 dry weight of As from As(V), As(III), MMAA(V), and DMAA(V), respectively. The influence of low P levels with increased As(V) concentrations more steeply increased As uptake, but P on other As species did not display similar trends. The algae also showed passive modes for As adsorption of all As species. The maximum adsorption of As (63.7 ± 6.1 nM g-1 dry weight) was found due to 4 μM As(V) exposure, which was 2.5, 7.3, and 6.9 times higher than the adsorption amounts for the same concentration of As(III), MMAA(V), and DMAA(V) exposure, respectively. The bioavailability and accumulation behaviors of As were significantly influenced by P and As species, and this information is essential for As research on marine ecosystems.

Abstract
Tropical Atlantic blooms of pelagic Sargassum spp. present major socioeconomic and ecological challenges for Caribbean and West African nations. Valorisation of sargassum provides an opportunity to ameliorate some of the damage to national economies; however, the active uptake of arsenic by pelagic sargassum creates significant barriers to its use. When defining valorisation pathways, it is important to understand arsenic speciation in pelagic sargassum, given the different levels of toxicity associated with different arsenic species. In this study, we assess the temporal variability of total arsenic and inorganic arsenic in pelagic sargassum arriving in Barbados; and test whether arsenic concentrations are linked to oceanic sub-origins. Results indicate that inorganic arsenic, the most toxic form, represents a consistent and substantial percentage of the total arsenic present in pelagic sargassum, and that variability in arsenic concentration does not appear to be driven by sample months, years or oceanic sub-origins/transport pathways.

Abstract
Massive Sargassum beachings occurred since 2011 on Caribbean shores. Sargassum inundation events currently involve two species, namely S. fluitans and S. natans circulating and blooming along the North Atlantic subtropical gyre and in the entire Caribbean region up to the Gulf of Mexico. Like other brown seaweeds, Sargassum have been shown to bioaccumulate a large number of heavy metals, alongside with some organic compounds including the contamination by historical chlordecone pollution in French West Indies (FWI), an insecticide used against the banana's weevil Cosmopolites sordidus. The present study reports, during two successive years, the concentration levels of heavy metals including arsenic in Martinique and Guadeloupe (FWI). We found that Sargassum can also accumulate a high concentration of chlordecone. Sargassum contamination by chlordecone is observed in areas close to contaminated river mouth but can be partly due to chlordecone desorption when secondary drifted on chlordecone-free shore. Our results further demonstrate that algae bleaching raises a number of questions about inorganic and organic pollutant (i) bioaccumulation, at sea for arsenic and close to river plumes for chlordecone, (ii) transport, and (iii) dissemination, depending the shoreline and the speciation for arsenic and/or metabolization for both.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT 2022; 194:553.

Abstract
Sargassum strandings in the coastal environment can introduce arsenic into food webs. In this context, we assessed the risk of exposure to arsenic for consumers of Caribbean bivalves. In 2019, specimens of Asaphis deflorata and Phacoides pectinatus were collected in an Atlantic coastal zone of Martinique (island) to monitor the presence of arsenic species by LC-ICP-MS. The total arsenic (tAs) concentrations were, on average, 34.4 ± 3.8 and 76.9 ± 22.3 µg.g-1 dry weight for P. pectinatus and A. deflorata, respectively. Seven compounds of arsenic were detected in bivalve soft bodies. In P. pectinatus, monomethylarsonic acid was present at a relatively significant concentration (≈ 29.6%). These results were coupled with survey data collected in 2013 and again in 2019, from the main consumers of bivalves. The tAs intake was up to 6 mg.day-1 for a 240 g (wet weight) meal of bivalves. In addition, we proposed toxicological reference doses also based on detected toxic forms of arsenic and tested their relevance. We concluded that monitoring of total arsenic would be sufficient to ensure the protection of bivalve consumers. Consumption patterns expose consumers to a potential health risk. However, due to a decrease in consumption frequency associated with the depletion of bivalve resources by decomposing Sargassum mats, arsenic exposure has decreased. In the French Caribbean, this is the first study on the risk of human arsenic contamination from the ingestion of bivalves. This study is a contribution to the monitoring of arsenic in the Caribbean coastal environment.

Abstract
Over the last decade, increasing proliferations of Atlantic Sargassum populations have led to massive beaching with disastrous environmental consequences. This study is a preliminary assessment of open ocean Sargassum spp. element concentration to assess their potential contribution on coastal ecosystems. Sargassum spp. samples from seven sites, collected along a transect from the center of the Atlantic Ocean to near the coast of Martinique (French West Indies), were analyzed to determine their potential metal and metalloid enrichment. Mean element concentrations from the Sargassum spp. samples were ranked in the following descending order: As > Fe > Mn > Al > Zn > V > Ni > Cu > Cr > Cd > Hg. Element concentrations are relatively low compared to previous results of beached Sargassum spp. except for As that need to be carefully considered before reusing Sargassum spp.
