Microplastic debris (<5 mm) is a prolific environmental pollutant, found worldwide in marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. This review assesses the numerous different methods used to identify microplastics ingested by marine organisms.
Microplastics are a diverse category of pollutants, comprising range constituent polymers modified by varying quantities additives and sorbed exhibiting morphologies, sizes, visual properties. This diversity, as well their microscopic size range, presents numerous barriers to identification enumeration. These issues addressed with the application physical chemical analytical procedures; however, these present new problems associated researcher training, facility availability cost, especially...
ABSTRACT Marine plastic pollution is currently a major scientific focus, with attention paid to its distribution and impacts within ecosystems. With recent estimates indicating that the mass of released marine environment may reach 250 million metric tons by 2025, effects on our oceans are set increase. Distribution microplastics, those plastics measuring less than 5 mm, increasing concern because they represent an proportion litter known interact species in range habitats. The local...
We used a citizen science approach to explore personal exposure air pollution of selected informal settlement dwellers in Nairobi, Kenya. This paper presents the methods used, with aim informing others who wish conduct similar work future, and some results, including policy impact. three interlinked methods: 1) mobile monitoring campaign which individual workers Dylos monitors measure variations their fine particulate matter (PM2.5) within over course day, 2) questionnaire conducted before...
Abstract The recalcitrance of modern plastics is a key driver the accretion in both waste management streams and environment. As result, plastic has become focal point research public policy. following review summarises effectiveness widespread approaches to management, before exploring recent developments use naturally derived products plastic-degrading organisms reduce burden wastes, including potential value symbiotic relationships between biodegradation To date, strategies have typically...
Coastal river deltas face high risks from multiple natural hazards due to the combined effects of human activities, processes, and climate change. Vulnerability risk assessments are essential for reducing managing and, in process, contribute sustainable development. Despite adopting a social-ecological multi-hazard perspective, previous failed achieve balanced consideration both social ecological sub-systems. To address this gap, we used an integrated assessment framework which incorporates...
Nephrops norvegicus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a decapod crustacean of high economic importance found across the northeast Atlantic. Little currently known about variation in stomach morphology with body size. In this study, novel two-stage endocasting technique was used to determine volume relation carapace length. Scanning electron microscope images teeth gastric mill were analysed changes size and structure growth. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between both length...
