Erratum: “New Link in the Food Chain? Marine Plastic Pollution and Seafood Safety”
Investigators are researching whether consumption of plastic debris by marine organisms translates into toxic exposures for people who eat seafood.
متن کاملMarine birds and plastic pollution
The intrinsic properties and widespread presence of plastic particles in the marine environment have profound effects on birds inhabiting the world's oceans. Industrial and user-plastics composed of polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, styrofoam, and polyvinyl chloride are the most prevalent forms of plastic marine pollution. Their dispersal and accumulation, in average densities of 1000 t...
متن کاملNew system for seafood safety.
The high molecular weight form of the plasminogen activator urokinase (54kD) binds to specific receptor sites on the cell membrane of breast carcinomas by its inactive 'A' chain. The binding is of high affinity (range of dissociation constants: 5.6 x 10-II to 4 x 10 -10 mol and there were between 20 to 250fmol of binding sites per milligram of membrane protein) and equilibrium is reached in 60m...
متن کاملAn Overview of Seafood Supply, Food Safety and Regulation in New South Wales, Australia
Seafood consumption is increasing in Australia, especially in New South Wales (NSW). Average per capita seafood consumption in NSW is higher than the national average. Seafood supply in NSW comes from domestic (wild catch and aquaculture) and overseas (seafood imports) sources. The contribution of wild catch and aquaculture in domestic seafood production (2012-2013) was 73.42% and 26.52%, respe...
متن کاملMarine pollution. Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean.
Plastic debris in the marine environment is widely documented, but the quantity of plastic entering the ocean from waste generated on land is unknown. By linking worldwide data on solid waste, population density, and economic status, we estimated the mass of land-based plastic waste entering the ocean. We calculate that 275 million metric tons (MT) of plastic waste was generated in 192 coastal ...
