Microplastics, which serve as sources and vector transport of organic contaminants in both
terrestrial and marine environments, are emerging micropollutants of increasing concerns …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic compounds, found
ubiquitously in all environmental compartments. PAHs are considered hazardous pollutants …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds
comprised of two or more fused benzene rings arranged in various configurations. PAHs are …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have gained attention because of their
environmental persistence and effects on ecosystems, animals, and human health. They are …

Nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are derivatives of PAHs with at least
one nitro-functional group (-NO 2) on the aromatic ring. The toxic effects of several nitro …

To understand the spatial variation in concentrations and compositions of organic
micropollutants in marine plastic debris and their sources, we analyzed plastic fragments (∼ …

This study presented for the first time a comprehensive measurement campaign of 16 PAHs
along the Euphrates River for five months, in both water and sediment samples. Our study …

There is an increasing concern about the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) in the environment as they are ubiquitous in ambient air and some of them are …

Climate change, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, excess nutrient inputs, and pollution in
its many forms are fundamentally altering the chemistry of the ocean, often on a global scale …

Terra Preta research gave evidence for the positive influence of charred organic material
(biochar) on infertile tropical soils. Facing global challenges such as land degradation, fossil …
