The sources and concentrations of aliphatic hydrocarbons (AHs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), faecal and biogenic sterols, and trace metals at 10 sampling sites …
Estuaries are under major impacts from pollution even when managed as conservation units. Here we used multiple biogeochemical indexes of contamination and trophic status …
Marine sediments are the final sink of most contaminants produced via anthropogenic activities in coastal areas. Therefore, these sediments may be a useful archive for the …
In this study, published and unpublished data from the Santos Estuarine Complex and Bay and the adjacent continental shelf (São Paulo State, Brazil) were gathered in order to …
The worldwide evidence of human activities on the environment led the scientific community to recognize a new geologic time unit known as the “Anthropocene.” Since the twentieth …
