This review describes the sources, fate, and transport of perfluorocarboxylates (PFCAs) in
the environment, with a specific focus on perfluorooctanoate (PFO). The global historical …

The Arctic cryosphere is collapsing, posing overlap** environmental risks. In particular,
thawing permafrost threatens to release biological, chemical and radioactive materials that …

Climate change, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, excess nutrient inputs, and pollution in
its many forms are fundamentally altering the chemistry of the ocean, often on a global scale …

The long-term consequences of climate change and potential environmental degradation
are likely to include aspects of disease emergence in marine plants and animals. In turn …

Continental aquatic systems from rivers to the coastal zone are considered within two
perspectives:(i) as a major link between the atmosphere, pedosphere, biosphere and …

The metabolism of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is complex and has an impact on

The Arctic has undergone dramatic change during the past decade. The observed changes
include atmospheric sea-level pressure, wind fields, sea-ice drift, ice cover, length of melt …

For legacy and emerging persistent organic pollutants (POPs), surprisingly little is still known
in quantitative terms about their global sources and emissions. Atmospheric transport has …

Poly-and perfluorinated organic compounds (PFCs) are ubiquitous in the Arctic
