Diffuse pollution formed during a surface runoff on paved surfaces is source of heavy metals (HMs) various origin. This research study indicates the connection between bottom sediments retention tanks located urban streams and road sweeping wastes (RSW) that migrate to stormwater drainage systems with discharge tanks. Moreover, we test primary sources HMs in RSW by analysing mechanical (MW) produced vehicles order track relationship car parts deposited receiving from streets. To identify...
Microplastic pollution has become ubiquitous, affecting a wide variety of biota. Although microplastics are known to alter the development range marine invertebrates, no studies provide detailed morphological characterisation developmental defects. Likewise, toxicity chemicals leached from plastic particles is understudied. The consequences these effects likely underestimated, and on ecosystems unknown. Using sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus as model, we studied leachates three forms pellet:...
Sediments of two urban streams in northern Poland outflowing to the Baltic Sea were assessed explain spatial variation relation urbanization level catchment, role retention tanks (RTs) and identification pollution level. During 3 month period investigation sediment samples collected from inflow (IN) outflow (OUT) six RTs located on for flood protection. Six heavy metals (HMs) investigated: Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr. The assessment four geochemical enrichment indices used quantify contamination...
The study aimed at measuring the influence of a wide range oxytetracycline concentrations, with particular attention to low levels antibiotic on cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and Nodularia spumigena, diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum model green algae Chlorella vulgaris by conducting prolonged toxicity tests (lasting 10 days). Standard measurements (cell number, optical density, chlorophyll concentration) were combined photosynthetic parameters measurements. obtained results show that...
The main objective of this study was to adapt analytical procedures for determining antibiotic residues in solid and aquatic samples marine sediments investigate the occurrence 9 sulfonamides, trimethoprim 2 quinolones southern Baltic Sea sediments. procedure applied sediment characterized as sand silty sand. validation results showed that a sensitive efficient method applying tandem solid-phase extraction (SPE) liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) obtained....
The study presents results from 6 months of phytoremediation sediments dredged three urban retention tanks carried out in a mesocosm setup with the use P. australis. Two kinds australis seedlings were considered: originating natural (uncontaminated - Suncont) and anthropogenically changed environments (contaminated – Scont); this distinction was reflected baseline concentrations trace metals inside their tissues. potentially toxic elements (PTEs) considered as follows: Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni, Cr,...
Abstract Concentrations of seven heavy metals (HMs): Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, and Fe in core samples bottom sediments from four retention tanks (RTs) located along the Strzyza Stream northern Poland (Gdansk) were measured to obtain a general view sediment quality. The recognition contamination potential environmental impacts is main aim this paper. A total 96 collected eight sampling sites at depths 0–2 cm, 8–10 16–18 24–26 cm. Fe, Cr with AAS while Cd concentration was ICP-MS. Granulometric...
We examine the composition and levels of organic contaminants (PAHs, PCB, HCB) in four sediment cores collected from Barents Sea. assess influence temporal variations contaminant supplies post-depositional reworking on distribution. Anthropogenic ∑ 12PAH reached 95 ng g−1, higher inventories dominated by BKF were observed at southern stations, while northern stations exhibited lower with PHE as dominant compound. The PCB was similar all CB 101, 138 153. ∑7PCB concentrations stations....
