The contamination of aqueous systems is of global concern. It is extensively known that contaminants of organic, inorganic, and microbiological origin adversely affect water basins, causing environmental damages and numerous ...

By using a unique 17-source database that combines individual survey data, air pollution data at the city and country level, climate information and macroeconomic indicators, this paper explores the relationship between ...

Surface-enhanced micro-Raman spectroscopy (micro-SERS) was used to detect traces of the hazardous pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pyrene and benzo[c]phenanthrene deposited onto a calix[4]arene-functionalized ...

A wide range of contaminants of emerging concern such as micro/nanoplastics (MPs/PNPs) and metal-nanoparticles (Me-NPs) from anthropogenic activities have been identified in aquatic environments. The hazardous effects of ...

In this study, a high throughput approach to rotating-disk sorptive extraction (RDSE) using laminar cork as extraction phase is demonstrated for the first time in the determination of 20 multiclass organic micro-pollutants ...

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) results from sulfide oxidation, which incorporates hydrogen ions, sulfate, and metals/metalloids into the aquatic environment, allowing fixation, bioaccumulation and biomagnification of pollutants ...

Fungi are increasingly gaining interest from aquatic microbial ecologists. The application of new molecular tools has revealed that they are a ubiquitous and highly diverse organismic group in aquatic environments with ...
