This study employed Aurelia aurita for the first time as a model organism to evaluate the toxicity of such compounds. The main goal was to evaluate the toxicity of two food additives, 2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-ol (S1) and 1-phenylethan-1-ol (S2), on A. aurita ephyrae, comparing the results with other organisms representing different trophic levels, specifically the alga Phaeodactylum tricornutum and the crustacean Artemia salina.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/CnidariosEcotoxicologíaNiveles Tróficosjournal article10.3390/toxics13070572open accessToxicologíaInvestigaciónCompuesto orgánicoGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
