The adverse effects of antimony (Sb) pollution on ecosystems and human health caused by
its use, enrichment, and bioaccumulation have become global environmental problems …

Plankton plays a prominent role in the bioaccumulation of mercury (Hg). The MERITE-
HIPPOCAMPE campaign was carried out in spring 2019 along a north-south transect …

Plankton represents the main source of carbon in marine ecosystems and is consequently
an important gateway for contaminants into the marine food webs. During the MERITE …

The spatial concentration of heavy metals (Mn, Ni, Cu, Co, Zn, Cd, and Pb) was studied in
coastal areas (n= 9) including water (n= 27) and sediment (n= 27) in the Palk Bay, India to …

This paper looks at experiential feedback and the technical and scientific challenges tied to
the MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE cruise that took place in the Mediterranean Sea in spring 2019 …

Recent studies have demonstrated that plankton can be a key pathway for the uptake and
transfer of contaminants entering the marine environment up to top predators. The plankton …

The sediments and surface water from 8 stations each from Dhamara and Paradeep
estuarine areas were sampled for investigation of heavy metals, Cd, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, Zn, Fe …

Surface water resource plays a crucial role in economic development, human health, and
ecological diversity. Population growth, climate change, and water contamination that result …

Aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs and PAHs, respectively) were
analyzed in the dissolved fraction (< 0.7 μm) of surface water and in various …

Marine free-living (FL) and plankton-associated prokaryotes (plankton-microbiota) are at the
basis of trophic webs and play crucial roles in the transfer and cycling of nutrients, organic …
