It’s World Oceans Day, so I have included a couple of papers today about the anthropogenic influence on marine microbes. Other recent papers cover microbes in school dust, metabolites in houses with moisture damage, dental units, rust, and arsenic removal filters.

Title: Anthropogenic Litter and Microplastic in Urban Streams: Abundance, Source, and Fate
Introduction The abundance of anthropogenic litter (i.e., garbage; AL) in marine ecosystems has received attention from researchers, the public, and the media. AL has many detrimental ecological effects such as ingestion and entanglement by animals and assistance in invasive species dispersal (Moore 2008). Accumulation of AL in the environment also presents an economic burden from costs related...
متن کاملAnthropogenic marine litter composition in coastal areas may be a predictor of potentially invasive rafting fauna
Anthropogenic plastic pollution is a global problem. In the marine environment, one of its less studied effects is the transport of attached biota, which might lead to introductions of non-native species in new areas or aid in habitat expansions of invasive species. The goal of the present work was to assess if the material composition of beached anthropogenic litter is indicative of the raftin...
متن کاملA multi-criteria evaluation system for marine litter pollution based on statistical analyses of OSPAR beach litter monitoring time series.
During the last decades, marine pollution with anthropogenic litter has become a worldwide major environmental concern. Standardized monitoring of litter since 2001 on 78 beaches selected within the framework of the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR) has been used to identify temporal trends of marine litter. Based on statistical analyses ...
متن کاملInteraction between loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) and marine litter in Sardinia (Western Mediterranean Sea).
Anthropogenic debris in the environment affects many species that accidentally ingest it. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quantity and composition of marine litter ingested by loggerheads in Sardinia, thus supplying for the lack of data in the existing literature for this area. Seventeen of the 121 (14.04%) monitored turtles presented debris in their digestive tracts. Litter in faecal ...
متن کاملMarine anthropogenic litter on British beaches: A 10-year nationwide assessment using citizen science data.
Growing evidence suggests that anthropogenic litter, particularly plastic, represents a highly pervasive and persistent threat to global marine ecosystems. Multinational research is progressing to characterise its sources, distribution and abundance so that interventions aimed at reducing future inputs and clearing extant litter can be developed. Citizen science projects, whereby members of the...
