Microplastics pollution in salt pans from the Maheshkhali Channel, Bangladesh
(Nature, 2021-11-30)
Microplastics (MP) were recognized as an emergent pollution problem due to their ubiquitous nature and bioaccumulative potential. Those present in salt for consumption could represent a human exposure route through dietary ...
Multidimensional approach to evaluate Limonium brasiliense as source of early biomarkers for lead pollution monitoring under different saline conditions
(Elsevier Science, 2019-09)
The search for early indicators of stress (biomarkers) with low cost of determination (both economic and logistic) is a prominent issue in environmental studies. Consequently, an experimental study was conducted with the ...
Accumulation and distribution of trace metals within soils and the austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora in a Patagonian salt marsh
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-12)
Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, and Zn were determined in soils and in below- and above-ground structures of Spartina densiflora in a Patagonian salt marsh (San Antonio, Río Negro, Argentina). Also, the relationship ...
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in coastal wetlands: A review of their occurrences, toxic effects, and biogeochemical cycling
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-11)
Coastal wetlands, such as mangroves, seagrass beds, and salt marshes, are highlythreatened by increasing anthropic pressures, including chemical pollution. Persistentorganic pollutants (POPs) have attracted attention in ...
Geochemical processes controlling the distribution and concentration of metals in soils from a Patagonian (Argentina) salt marsh affected by mining residues
(Elsevier Science, 2017-10)
Heavy metal pollution that affects salt marshes is a major environmental concern due to its toxic nature, persistence, and potential risk to organisms and to human health. Mining waste deposits originated four decades ago, ...
Soil metal pollution assessment in Sarcocornia salt marshes in a South American estuary
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-05)
Soil metal pollution in two Sarcocornia salt marshes within the Bahía Blanca estuary (Argentina, South America) was evaluated through pseudo-total and bioavailable metal levels and pollution indexes. Soil conditions were ...
Comparison of phytoremediation potential capacity of Spartina densiflora and Sarcocornia perennis for metal polluted soils
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-03)
Phytoremediation is considered the most appropriate technique to restore metal polluted soil, given its low cost, high efficiency and low environmental impact. Spartina densiflora and Sarcocornia perennis are perennial ...
Trace metal concentrations in Spartina densiflora and associated soil from a Patagonian salt marsh
(Elsevier, 2014-10-28)
The objectives of this study were to (i) assess in situ trace metal concentrations in soil and in Spartina densiflora in a Patagonian salt marsh (Rawson, Chubut, Argentina) and (ii) investigate the relationship between ...
Isolation of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria from Spartina densiflora and Sarcocornia perennis in San Antonio polluted salt marsh, Patagonian Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-10)
With the purpose of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolation, several authors have sampled different wetlands in the northern half of Argentina. However, to date, we do not know the existence of microbiological ...
Differential bioaccumulation and translocation patterns in three mangrove plants experimentally exposed to iron. Consequences for environmental sensing
(2016-08-01)
Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle were experimentally exposed to increasing levels of iron (0, 10, 20 and 100 mg L-1 added Fe(II) in Hoagland's nutritive medium). The uptake and translocation ...
