CuO NPs are widely used in various industrial and commercial applications. However, little is known about their potential toxicity or fate the environment. In this study effects of copper nanoparticles were investigated gills mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, comparative to Cu2+. Mussels exposed 10 μgCu·L–1 Cu2+ for 15 days, biomarkers oxidative stress, metal exposure neurotoxicity evaluated. Results show that accumulated responded differently Cu2+, suggesting distinct modes action. induced...
Although microplastics are distributed globally in the marine environment, a great deal of unknowns relating to their ecotoxicological effects on biota remain. Due lipophilic nature, have potential adsorb persistent organic pollutants present contaminated regions, which may increase detrimental impact once assimilated by organisms. This study investigates exposure low-density polyethylene (LDPE) (11 – 13 µm), with and without adsorbed contaminants (benzo[a]pyrene - BaP perfluorooctane...
Abstract Whilst both plastic production and inputs at sea have increased since the 1950s, several modelling studies predict a further increase in coming years these respective quantities. We compiled scientific literature on trends marine litter, consisting largely of microplastics ocean, understanding that monitoring programs or assessments for aspects are varied, frequently focusing limited components environment different locations, covering wide spectrum litter types, with...
In January 2017, the International Seabed Authority released a discussion paper on development of Environmental Regulations for deep-sea mining within Area Beyond National Jurisdiction (the 'Area'). With release this paper, prospect commercial in next decade has become very real. Moreover, nations' Exclusive Economic Zones, exploitation mineral ore resources could take place much shorter time scales and, indeed, may have already started. However, potentially toxic metal mixtures be at sea...
