Lately, the interest in researching microplastics Black Sea has increased, highlighting areas of accumulation which amounts are alarming, such as seafood consumed by population. The special characteristics terms currents and wave dynamics that create opportunities for hotspot points, context large rivers discharge contains pollutants new sources contamination. This article offers a literature-b...

due to the location of a domestic, industrial and agricultural zone near the caspian sea, this water body has long been under pressure and environmental threat. as a result of development of oil production activities in caspian region, such as oil exploration and extraction, a large volume of oil related pollutants is released annually into this important water body. considering the fact that h...

caspian sea as the biggest surrounded water body in the word has long been in the pressure from environmental standpoints due to the fact that its large is surrounding by the larg domestic, industrial and agricultural areas. concern to inverse impacts of the inputted pollutants on the aquatic organism and margin human societies’ health, quality monitoring of the sediment as the main fate of the...

background: sediments in marine environment have a large capacity in binding with heavy metals; therefore, they are potential pollutants of water resources. the anzali wetland, located in the southern region of the caspian sea, iran, has been consistently threatened by heavy metal pollutants because of urban, agricultural and industrial wastewater inflow. the purpose of this study is to investi...

The main soil physical-chemical features, the concentrations of a set of pollutants, and the soil microbiota linked to penguin rookeries have been studied in 10 selected sites located at the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula (Maritime Antarctica). This study aims to test the hypothesis that biotransport by penguins increases the concentration of pollutants, especially heavy met...

A three-dimensional/high-resolution transport model for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been developed to investigate the dynamics of POPs in the East China Sea. The POPs model includes four compartments: POPs in air, water, phytoplankton, and detritus. Biochemical processes considered in this study are diffusive air-water exchange, phytoplankton uptake of POPs, vertical sinking of phy...

Ag-coated sea-urchin-like Fe3O4@C core-shell particles can be synthesized by a facile one-step solvothermal method, followed by deposition of high-density Ag nanoparticles onto the carbon surface through an in situ growth process, respectively. The as-synthesized Ag-coated Fe3O4@C particles can be used as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate holding reproducible properties under...

Abstract The planted Rhizophora mucronata was evaluated in two plant ages (one year and eight years) as a biological tool for reducing the mobility of heavy metals sediments Safaga Hamata, Red Sea Coast, Egypt. It is an important region tourism nature reserves; however, this area suffers from various anthropogenic contaminants. ability mangrove plantations to reduce sediment contamination throu...
