Abstract Today (year 2020), the globally recognized problem of arsenic (As) contamination
of water resources and other environments at toxic levels has been reported in all of the 20 …

The Anthropocene as a potential new unit of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart
(which serves as the basis of the Geological Time Scale) is assessed in terms of the …

Surficial marine sediments were sampled along the south-east coast and in Discover Bay
Jamaica. Total elemental composition was determined for the sediments using three …

Microplastics are ubiquitous throughout the world's oceans and contaminate coral reef
ecosystems. There is evidence of microplastic ingestion by corals and passive contact with …

Environmental and biological reef monitoring was conducted in Almirante Bay (Bahía
Almirante) in Bocas del Toro, Panama, to assess impacts from anthropogenic developments …

Deep-sea mining activities are expected to impact deep-sea biota through the generation of
sediment plumes that disperse across vast areas of the ocean. Benthic sessile suspension …

Spatial and temporal variations of mercury (Hg) concentrations, enrichment, and potential
ecological risks were studied in a suite of lead-210 (210 Pb) dated sediment cores from 13 …

Accurate estimation of the variability of heavy metals in river water and the hyporheic zone is
crucial for pollution control and environmental management. The biotoxicities and potential …

The present work is the first study to specifically highlight a correlation between two different
methods to monitor environmental pollution using hard corals as biomonitors. The first …

The deposition of different atmospheric mercury (Hg) species into oceans determines the
atmospheric Hg lifetime and the production of neurotoxin methylmercury. Yet, the relative …
