However, the effects of bioavailable heavy metals on functional traits of macrobenthos communities remain to be examined. We sampled macrobenthos communities and assessed environmental variables over gradients of heavy metal pollution in Swan Lagoon, China. The RLQ ...

The bioavailability of a pollutant is usually evaluated based on its freely dissolved concentration (Cfree), which can be measured by negligible-depletion equilibrium extraction that is commonly suffered from long equilibration time. Herein, metal-organic framework (MOF) composites (Fe3O4@MIL-101), consists of a magnetic Fe3O4 core and a MIL-101 (Cr) MOF shell, is developed as sorbents for negligi ...

Due to their high persistence, MPs will accumulate in the environment and their quantities tend to increase with time. MPs end up in environments where often also chemical contaminants are present. Since the early 2000s, the number of studies on the sorption of chemicals to pl ...

In this study, the speciation (fractions) and bioaccessibility of HMs (Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn) as well as their correlations in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) samples from four seasons were studied. A sequential extraction procedure was ap ...

Ubiquitous contamination of microplastics and arsenic in soil ecosystems can induce many health issues to nontarget soil organisms, and will also cause many potential threats to the gut bacterial communities of soil fauna. However, the changes in the gut bacterial communities of soil fauna after exposure to both microplastics and arsenic remain unknown. In this study, the toxicity and effects on t ...

For divalent metals, the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) has been proven to be an effective tool to predict biological effects by taking into account speciation calculations and competitive interactions. Nonetheless, the BLM has only rarely been validated for trivalent metals (e.g. rare earth elements), and the potential competitive effects of protons has been understudied. In this paper, the short-term ...
