- Abstract:
- ... Two microplastic sets, polystyrene (PS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), were tested for adverse effects on early life stages of Sphaerechinus granularis sea urchins. Microparticulate PS (10, 80 and 230 μm diameter) and PMMA (10 and 50 μm diameter) were tested on developing S. granularis embryos from 10 min post-fertilisation (p-f) to the pluteus larval stage (72 h p-f), at concentrations rangi ...

- Abstract:
- ... The present paper provides the first record of ingestion of microplastics in natural context by Gammarus setosus from Svalbard Archipelago. The plastic particles were identified both by Nile Red staining and Micro FT-IR spectroscopy. The species studied ingests microplastic particles in natural conditions if present in its habitat, probably mistaking them as food. The microplastic particles ingest ...

- Abstract:
- ... Pollutants such as n-TiO2 and tetracycline enter the marine environment through various sources starting from their production until disposal. Hence, it is vital to determine the interactive effect of one pollutant with the other when they coexist in the environment. In the present study, the effect of antibiotic – tetracycline (TC) on the toxicity of P25 n-TiO2 was studied with marine microalgae, ...

The critical usage of rare earth elements (REEs) in a variety of industrial applications has increased their release to the environment as emerging contaminants, while little is known about the fate and transport of REEs in coastal aquatic biota. In the present study, seven common species were collected and the concentrations of 15 naturally occurring REEs (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, ...

- Abstract:
- ... Although cost-effective, phytoremediation is too expensive when considering the large-scale pollution. Relative to harvesting the whole plant, it is more practicable to remove and dispose of senescent and dead leaves after phytoremediation. The phytoremediation efficiency of Festuca arundinacea for Cd was evaluated in this study, because over about 7% of the land area in China was contaminated wit ...

- Abstract:
- ... Volcanic plumes are complex environments composed of gases and ash particles, where chemical and physical processes occur at different temperature and compositional regimes. Commonly, soluble sulphate- and chloride-bearing salts are formed on ash as gases interact with ash surfaces. Exposure to respirable volcanic ash following an eruption is potentially a significant health concern. The impact of ...

In this study, we estimate the daily SO2 levels across China on 0.1o grid from 2013 to 2016 by assimilating satellite- and ground-based SO2 observations using the random-forest spatiotemporal kriging (RF-STK) model. The cross-validation ...

Measuring the exposure level is a challenge. Among non-invasive biomarkers that measure long-term exposure to essential trace metals, the toenail is probably the biological matrix with the greatest potential.This sy ...
