Lead (Pb) is a non-essential metal naturally present in the environment and often
complexed with other elements (eg, copper, selenium, zinc). This metal has been used since …

Microplastics can adsorb chemical pollutants such as metals or pharmaceuticals, and
transferred them along the food chain. In this work, an investigation of the adsorption of Cd …

Thousands of offshore oil and gas facilities are coming to the end of their life in jurisdictions
worldwide and will require decommissioning. In-situ decommissioning, where the subsea …

Microplastics (MPs) exposed to the natural environment provide an ideal surface for biofilm
formation, which potentially acts as a reactive phase facilitating the sorption of hazardous …

The functionalization of graphene causes many of its features to be altered, which can be
used to better adsorption metal ions in aqueous solution. In this work, catecholamine, with a …

Anthropogenic activities including metal contamination create well-known problems in
coastal mangrove ecosystems but understanding and linking specific pollution sources to …

Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) can be found in decommissioned oil and
gas infrastructure (eg pipelines), including scales. The effects of NORM contaminants from …

The synthesis and optimization of polymeric inclusion membranes (PIMs) for the transport of
Cd (II) and Pb (II) and their separation from Zn (II) in aqueous saline media are presented …

The paucity of ecotoxicological data for Antarctic organisms is impeding the development of
region-specific water quality guidelines. To address this limitation, toxicity testing protocols …

Shorthorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus scorpius) has been used as a sentinel species for
