Historic and ongoing sediment contamination adversely affects estuaries, among the most
productive marine ecosystems in the world. However, all estuaries are not the same, and …

Nanotechnologies have become a significant priority worldwide. Several manufactured
nanoparticles-particles with one dimension less than 100 nm-are increasingly used in …

Over-exploitation and subsequent collapse of marine fishes has focused attention on the
ability of affected populations to recover to former abundance levels,, and on the degree to …

The acute toxicity of CuO and ZnO nanoparticles in artificial freshwater (AFW) and in natural
waters to crustaceans Daphnia magna and Thamnocephalus platyurus and protozoan …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) was concentrated from natural waters and the effluent of a
wastewater treatment plant using a portable reverse osmosis (RO) system. The humic acid …

Humic Substances color all waters more or less brown. Their concentrations exceed all

Four sponge-associated Antarctic bacteria (ie, Winogradskyella sp. strains CAL384 and
CAL396, Colwellia sp. strain GW185, and Shewanella sp. strain CAL606) were selected for …

Since the early 2000s, biotic ligand models and related constructs have been a dominant
paradigm for risk assessment of aqueous metals in the environment. We critically review 1) …

We describe 2 artificial stream experiments that exposed aquatic insect communities to zinc
(Zn), copper (Cu), and cadmium (year 2014) and to Zn, Cu, and nickel (year 2015). The …

Nanomaterials (NMs) are gaining increasing commercial importance due to a variety of
properties that cannot be achieved with bulk materials. Yet the assessment of their …
