The growing rate of urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase in several types
of pollution caused by the release of toxic chemicals to the environment. This is usually …

Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) are one of the most widespread and heterogeneous
organic contaminants affecting marine ecosystems. The contamination of marine sediments …

Most of the current studies have focused on the inhibition of anaerobic ammonium oxidation
(anammox) by substrates, however, little attention has been paid to the recovery process of …

Contaminated sites from electronic waste (e-waste) dismantling and coking plants feature
high concentrations of heavy metals (HMs) and/or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) …

Heavy metal pollution caused by mining activities can be harmful to soil microbiota, which
are highly sensitive to heavy metal stress. This study aimed to investigate the response of …

Microplastics and heavy metals are ubiquitous and persistent contaminants that are widely
distributed worldwide, yet little is known about the effects of their interaction on soil …

There are few studies on concurrent bacterial and fungal community assembly processes
that govern the metal (loid) s biogeochemical cycles at smelters. Here, a systematic …

The present work aims at providing a multi-disciplinary approach for environmental
monitoring in marine-coastal areas. A monitoring campaign of 13 months (October 2022 …

The microbial community assembly processes and underlying mechanisms in response to
heavy metal accumulation in coastal sediments remain underexplored. In this study, the …

The recurrent dredging of marine sediments needs the use of ex–situ technologies such as
sediment washing (SW) to effectively remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons …
