The presence of diverse pollutants in water has been threating human health and aquatic
ecosystems on a global scale. For more than a century, chemical oxidation using strongly …

Marine and land plastic debris biodegrades at micro-and nanoscales through progressive
fragmentation. Oceanographic model studies confirm the presence of up to∼ 2.41 million …

Herein, we proposed a new peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation system employing the Fe
(III) doped g-C3N4 (CNF) as catalyst. Quite different from traditional sulfate radical-based …

Plastic production has increased dramatically worldwide over the last 60 years and it is
nowadays recognized as a serious threat to the marine environment. Plastic pollution is …

Microplastic debris floating at the ocean surface can harm marine life. Understanding the
severity of this harm requires knowledge of plastic abundance and distributions. Dozens of …

Marine debris, mostly consisting of plastic, is a global problem, negatively impacting wildlife,
tourism and shipping. However, despite the durability of plastic, and the exponential …

The Fenton reaction is limited by a narrow acidic pH range, the slow reduction of Fe (III), and
susceptibility of the nonselective hydroxyl radical (HO•) to scavenging by water constituents …

Pollution of the marine environment by large and microscopic plastic fragments and their
potential impacts on organisms has stimulated considerable research interest and has …

Marine litter represents a widespread type of pollution in the World's Oceans. This study is
based on direct observation of the seafloor by means of Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) …

Marine sediments are home to one of the richest species pools on Earth, but logistics and a
dearth of taxonomic work-force hinders the knowledge of their biodiversity. We characterized …
