Populations and metropolitan centers are accumulated in coastal areas around the world. In
view of the fact that they are geographically adjacent to coasts and intense anthropogenic …

Global monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has intensified following regulatory
efforts aimed at reducing their release. In this context, we compiled over 10,000 POP …

Rapid and efficient cleaning of oily wastewater and high viscosity crude oil spills is still a
global challenge. Conventional three-dimensional porous adsorbents are ineffective for oil …

Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions and their
redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere–the “global carbon …

Atmospheric deposition of semivolatile aromatic hydrocarbons accounts for an important
input of organic matter to the surface ocean. Nevertheless, the biogeochemical cycling and …

Scavenging of gas-and aerosol-phase organic pollutants by rain is an efficient wet
deposition mechanism of organic pollutants. However, whereas snow has been identified as …

The global oceans are known as terminal sink or secondary source for diffusive emission of
organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and selected current used pesticides (CUPs) into the …

Our previous study revealed PAHs' wide occurrence in corals from multiple coral reef
regions (CRRs) in the South China Sea. However, little is known about their occurrence …

Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is the largest known slow-cycling organic carbon pool in the
world's oceans. Atmospheric deposition could significantly contribute to the oceanic DBC …

The occurrence, long-range atmospheric transport and deposition of micro and nano
plastics (MNPLs) remains un-quantified for the oceanic atmosphereopen ocean. Here we …
