A multi-proxy study on sedimentary records from Schweriner See (See= lake), NE-Germany,
covering the past 670 years (from 1350 CE to today) combined with sediment surface …

The concentration and distribution of trace metals were determined in sediment cores from
the Khuan Khi Sian wetland, Thailand. The sediment cores were collected from seven …

An equilibrium partitioning approach (EqPA) was employed to evaluate the metal toxicity
and define sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium …

Assessing the status of marine pollution at regional and sub-regional scales requires the
use of comparable and harmonized data provided by multiple institutions, located in several …

Abstract The North Sea and its coastal zones are heavily impacted by anthropogenic
activities, which has resulted in significant chemical pollution ever since the beginning of the …

Nanopollutants such as nZnO gain importance as contaminants of emerging concern due to
their high production volume and potential toxicity. Coastal sediments serve as sinks for …

This study established background (pre-industrial) values of copper (Cu), arsenic (As),
cobalt (Co), and uranium (U) in Baltic Sea sediments. The indicated background values …

Pollution from personal care products, such as UV-filters like avobenzone and nano-zinc
oxide (nZnO), poses a growing threat to marine ecosystems. To better understand this …

Sediments contaminated with hazardous metals pose risks to humans and wildlife, yet
viable management options are scarce. In a series of laboratory experiments, we …

Environmental responsibility is becoming part of the social profile of modern society on an
international scale. The analysis of ecosystems in the Baltic Sea presents an example of the …
