Emerging contaminants (ECs) are becoming more prevalent in estuaries and constitute a
danger to both human health and ecosystems. These pollutants can infiltrate the ecosystem …

Tailings containing mining and ore treatment waste, accumulated over long time periods are
major contaminant sources at the watershed scale and may seriously impair environmental …

Trace metal assessment in marine phytoplankton is challenging due to complex
assemblages and variable amounts of abiogenic suspended particulates. Using aliquots …

In coastal productive zones, phytoplankton activity may influence trace metal speciation and
partitioning at short temporal scale. We coupled hourly in situ voltammetry quantification of …

Phytoplankton are key marine components in global primary productivity and ocean
biogeochemistry. However, anthropogenic activities impact phytoplankton through toxic …

The marine chemistry of platinum group elements is poorly documented despite robust
evidence of their widespread emissions and deposition around the globe. Here, we report …

Zinc is one of the most important trace elements for life and its deficiency, like its excess, can
be fatal. In the bacterial opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Zn homeostasis …

Studying the interactions between metals and thiol moieties in natural systems is
challenging, although they are of major importance for some (ultra) trace elements (eg, Hg …

Abstract The concentrations of Platinum (Pt), Rhodium (Rh) and Palladium (Pd) were
evaluated from a highly impacted estuary in Brazil influenced by industrial pole, highway …

Abstract Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are contaminants of emerging environmental
concern considering their continuous increasing use and subsequent release in the …
