Microplastics in Freshwaters: Implications for Aquatic Autotrophic Organisms and Fauna Health

Microplastics Pollution in the Aquatic Environment: Problems and Challenges

Autotrophic Micro-Organisms

ology. He also recognizes the role of chemotherapy, endocrinology, and improved instruments for observing the patient. His survey of current conditions is more detailed. Lord Horder is not only a physician interested in life and death, but also an adherent of such related causes as birth control and cremation. His interest in eugenics and biological control of illness has led him to try to get ...

Polar Narcosis in Aquatic Organisms

The majority of industrial organic chemicals lack identifiable structural characteristics that result in specific biological activity. These nonpolar-nonelectrolytes are acutely toxic to aquatic organisms via a nonspecific mode of action termed narcosis. The toxicity of industrial chemicals eliciting nonpolar narcosis can be reliably predicted by log P (baseline toxicity models). Using single c...

Implications of aquatic animal health for human health.

Human health and aquatic animal health are organically related at three distinct interfaces. Aquatic animals serve as important contributors to the nutritional protein, lipid, and vitamin requirements of humans; as carriers and transmitters of many infectious and parasitic diseases to which humans are susceptible; and as indicators of toxic and carcinogenic substances that they can convey, in s...

The Microbiota of Recreational Freshwaters and the Implications for Environmental and Public Health

The microbial communities in recreational freshwaters play important roles in both environmental and public health perspectives. In this study, the bacterial community structure and its associations with freshwater environments were investigated by analyzing the summertime microbiomes of three beach waters in Ohio (East Fork, Delaware, and Madison lakes) together with environmental and microbia...
