Bacteria assume a pivotal role in mitigating environmental issues associated with heavy
metals, microplastics, and pesticides. Within the domain of heavy metals, bacteria exhibit a …

The quantification of macroplastic fluxes transferred by rivers toward the pelagic
environment requires a better understanding of macrodebris transfer processes in estuarine …

The behavior, and history of lead (Pb) contamination in the ecosystem of the Loire estuary
was examined using elemental concentrations and Pb isotope data in water, sediment …

Marine organisms are threatened by the presence of pesticides in coastal waters. Among
them, the Pacific oyster is one of the most studied invertebrates in marine ecotoxicology …

Early life stages are crucial for organism development, especially for those displaying
external fertilization, whose gametes and early stages face environmental stressors such as …

Marine suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays a pivotal role in the marine
biogeochemical cycling of trace elements. This study investigates metal distributions and …

Antifouling paints (APs) are one of the important sources of Cu and Zn contamination in
coastal environments. This study applied for the first-time a multi-isotope (Cu, Zn, and Pb) …

We report the first empirical confirmation of the co-occurrence of organophosphate esters
(OPEs) additives and microplastics (MPs) in benthic compartments from the Loire estuary …

Distribution of metals in estuarine surface water reflects their respective sources and
abundances in the fresh-and marine-water end-members, mixing processes and ability to …

In the present study a mass balance calculation was used to quantify trace elements (Al, Ba,
Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ti, V and Zn) fluxes exported from the Serinhaém River estuary to the …
