Enhanced weathering of (ultra)basic silicate rocks such as olivine-rich dunite has been proposed a large-scale climate engineering approach. When implemented in coastal environments, olivine is expected to increase seawater alkalinity, thus resulting additional CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. However, mechanisms marine and its effect on seawater–carbonate chemistry remain poorly understood. Here, we present results batch reaction experiments, which forsteritic was subjected rotational...
The population of the semi-arid areas countries in East African Rift Valley (EARV) is faced with serious problems associated availability and quality drinking water. In these areas, water supply largely relies on groundwater characterised by elevated fluoride concentration (> 1.5 mg/L), resulting from interactions surrounding alkaline volcanic rocks. This geochemical anomaly often presence other naturally occurring potentially toxic elements (PTEs), such as As, Mo, U, V, which are known to...
In this first in situ study of the dynamic availability phytoplankton micronutrients, a SeaExplorer glider was combined with Diffusive Gradients Thin Films and deployed Mediterranean Sea. On basis their labile metal complex pools, we discovered that Fe Co can be potentially limiting Cu co-limiting to diatom growth, contrary generally accepted view phosphorus (phosphate) is growth element For flagellates picoplankton, remains main growth. Our measurements showed organic complexes (>98% total...
The Flemish Environment and Health Study (FLEHS) collects information on internal exposure to a broad range of environmental chemicals in the general population Flanders, Northern region Belgium. aim is establish biomonitoring distributions for support public health policy, risk assessment management decisions. In 2017-2018, urine blood samples were collected from 428 teenagers by stratified clustered two stage randomized design. Samples analyzed biomarkers related chlorinated newer...
