Environmental pollution caused by human activities is a global public health concern. This review discusses the impact of different types of pollutants such as pesticides, metals, nanoparticles and others on land molluscs. These molluscs are of great interest as good model organisms for studying biomarker responses in ecotoxicological monitoring programs. Several biomarkers are utilized to characterize and quantify the exposure and harmful impacts of various pollutants. In this review, we have identified physiological and behavioral endpoints (feeding, growth, avoidance, mucus secretion, locomotion and reproductive behavior) for the diagnosis of environmental pollution. The present review displays that all types of pollutants can disturb physiological and behavioral endpoints of gastropods, and these impacts depend on the matrix, exposure time and route as well as the type and concentration of the pollutants in the environment. We have also confirmed that terrestrial gastropods particularly snails as sentinel species could be used as potential bioindicator organisms for environmental quality assessment and thus for predicting potential hazards to human health.

土地软体动物作为生物标志物用于污染影响评估的生理和行为响应:综述

人类活动造成的环境污染是全球公共卫生问题。这篇评论讨论了不同类型的污染物,例如农药,金属,纳米颗粒和其他污染物对陆地软体动物的影响。这些软体动物作为研究生态毒理学监测计划中生物标志物反应的良好模式生物而引起了极大的兴趣。利用几种生物标记物来表征和量化各种污染物的暴露量和有害影响。在这篇综述中,我们确定了生理学和行为学终点(喂养,生长,避免,粘液分泌,运动和生殖行为)以诊断环境污染。本综述显示,所有类型的污染物都可能干扰腹足动物的生理和行为终点,而这些影响取决于基质,暴露时间和途径,以及环境中污染物的类型和浓度。我们还证实,陆生腹足类动物,特别是作为前哨物种的蜗牛,可以用作环境质量评估的潜在生物指示生物,从而预测对人类健康的潜在危害。
