Abstract The Bohai Sea is one of the most polluted marine areas in China with polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to its unique hydrological and geographical …

Synthetic organic compounds belonging to different chemical classes and possessing
diverse physicochemical properties are frequently present in marine environments …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are highly toxic and can accumulate in marine
organisms, causing nonnegligible harm to the global marine ecosystem. The Cold seep is …

Abstract The Guadiana Basin is a transnational basin, presenting historical contamination
with potentially toxic metals (PTM), which origin can be both natural and anthropogenic. This …

Human activities significantly increase the input of offshore heavy metals and organic
pollutants. Although particle-scale and heterogeneous organic matters are fundamentally …

Natural purification of pollutants is highly recognized as regulating ecosystem services;
however, the purification capacity of tidal flats remains largely unknown and/or unquantified …

Accurate ecotoxicity assessment of contaminated soil is critical to public health, and the
luminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri) method is the most commonly used. Hydrophobic …

This study utilizes ultraviolet and fluorescence spectroscopic indices of dissolved organic
matter (DOM) from sediments, combined with machine learning (ML) models, to develop an …

The regulating ecosystem services, such as water purification, that tidal flats provide by
nitrogen (N) burial are being increasingly recognized; yet, quantitative estimates remain …

Novel aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists were identified in coastal sediments in the
Yellow and Bohai Seas by use of a combination of effect-directed analysis (EDA) and in …
