Coastal wetlands, such as saltmarshes and mangroves that fringe transitional waters,
deliver important ecosystem services that support human development. Coastal wetlands …

In this study, the influence of the plastisphere on metals accumulation and weathering
processes of polystyrene (PSMPs) and nylon microplastics (NyMPs) in polluted waters …

Microplastics have been a global concern due to their potential and widespread risks to
organisms and environments. In this study, we investigated the abundance, distribution, and …

The composition and the interaction of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) with metal
ions, along with the presence and characteristics of microplastics, were analyzed for the first …

Estuarine environments, which are complex and sensitive coastal system, and are the final
receptacle of several human wastes. Consequently, biomonitoring contaminants, such as …

Here we offer an integrative review of biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen,
phosphorus, and several metals in salt marshes of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, located in …

Biomonitoring of heavy metal pollution through the use of biomarkers could be a difficult task
since the organisms' physiological changes could shift regarding natural factors (ie, the …

Synthetic microdebris (particles of< 5 mm) are a worldwide concern because they can affect
the community structure of the aquatic ecosystems, organisms, and even food webs. For the …

Thirty-four surface sediment samples were collected from Bahía Blanca Estuary, Argentina,
to evaluate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination and ecotoxicity risk by …

This is an integrated assessment of the distribution of Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb in dissolved water,
sediments and muscle fish tissues (Cynoscion guatucupa, Micropogonias furnieri, Mustelus …
