Antarctica is the most isolated continent on Earth, but it has not escaped the negative
impacts of human activity. The unique marine ecosystems of Antarctica and their endemic …

A decade has yielded much progress in understanding polar disturbance and community
recovery—mainly through quantifying ice scour rates, other disturbance levels, larval …

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are a major source of micropollutants
to the aquatic environment. Despite intense research on the fate and effects of PPCPs in …

▪ Abstract The Antarctic continent harbors a range of specialized and sometimes highly
localized microbial biotopes. These include biotopes associated with desiccated mineral …

Microbial colonization on plastic polymers has been extensively explored, however the
temporal dynamics of biofilm community in Antarctic environments are almost unknown. As a …

Increased human activity on the Antarctic Peninsula has generated microplastic
contamination in marine systems; however, less attention has been paid to soils so far. We …

The environment quality of water, soil and air is degraded increasingly. Therefore we need
to raise the prevention of pollution by monitoring environmental quality. There were several …

Presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria as bio-indicators of pollution was monitored in fish
(colons and gills) and in sewage treated effluent (STE) in two marine sites in the Gulf of …
