Bioaccumulation and biological effects of cigarette litter in marine worms
Marine debris is a global environmental issue. Smoked cigarette filters are the predominant coastal litter item; 4.5 trillion are littered annually, presenting a source of bioplastic microfibres (cellulose acetate) and harmful toxicants to marine environments. Despite the human health risks associated with smoking, little is known of the hazards cigarette filters present to marine life. Here we...
متن کاملAssessing a Damaged Earth.
Summan Previous cross-sectional data suggest a positive association between serum cholesterol and brain neoplasms. but the results of cohort studies are inconclusive. There is evidence that in women the growth of meningiomas and astrocytomas depends on the hormonal status. The present investigation comprised data on serum cholesterol and P-lipoprotein concentration among 229 participants in a h...
متن کاملInfluence of substrate on bioaccumulation of 14C-paraquat in compost worms Eisenia foetida.
Contamination of soil with pesticides can be evaluated using toxicity tests with worms because their ecological niche makes them good bioindicators. Bioaccumulation in compost worms of [methyl-14C] paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride) was measured after three-month exposure in two substrates with differing physicochemical characteristics, in particular their organic matter and ...
متن کاملInvestigating and Assessing Soil's Texture and Density in Different Land Uses Via Google Earth Engine System
Introduction: Awareness of soil quality in agricultural lands and natural resources is essential to achieve maximum production and environmental sustainability. Although soil quality is not directly assessed, soil quality indicators are widely used today, including the physical indicators which are of great importance in measuring the soil quality, as they directly influence the plant growth an...
متن کاملAssessing rare earth elements in quartz rich geological samples.
Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) fusion coupled to Inductively Coupled Plasma Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) measurements was used to rapidly screen quartz-rich geological samples for rare earth element (REE) content. The method accuracy was checked with a geological reference material and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) measurements. The used mass-mode combinations presented accur...
