Safe potable water is a luxury that generally unavailable to the majority of rural and suburban populations developing, underdeveloped, often developed countries. Important considerations in development maintenance safe supplies availability use efficient, inexpensive, appropriate technology for removing microbial hazards, parasites, toxicants. The Manz intermittent slow sand filter was known be user friendly, small enough fit into smallest kitchen, could remove up 97% fecal coliforms...

Abstract Population decline among Asian horseshoe crabs in Asia is increasingly reported, but knowledge of their population and ecological status China limited. We conducted community interviews 30 fishing villages around Beibu Gulf Guangxi, China, to collect distribution information about the potential spawning/nursery grounds Tachypleus tridentatus Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda , any imminent threats populations. Based on results from 400 respondents we identified 45 distributed widely...

The northern part of the Elbe river in Germany is one most highly polluted rivers Europe, particular with toxic organotin compounds. Two major anthropogenic sources are Hamburg harbour area intensive docking activities and a chemical plant Bitterfeld close to Mulde eastern Germany. Tributyltin leached from antifouling paints enters water phase. Thus, contaminated tributyltin its degradation products, di- mono-butyltin. Untreated run-off waters an contaminate Mulde, tributary Elbe,...

Horseshoe crabs are currently threatened by escalating human stresses along the Indo-Pacific coastline. Conservation of their remaining populations, however, is hindered limited baselines throughout ranges. We performed a questionnaire survey conservation experts from diverse geographic regions to identify baselines, prominent threats, impediments and alternative strategies that prioritize Asian horseshoe crab conservation. Despite long-term monitoring across habitat types lacking, local...

The investigation of pharmaceuticals as emerging contaminants in marine biota has been insufficient. In this study, we examined the presence 51 edible oysters along coasts East and South China Seas. Only nine were detected. mean concentrations all measured per site ranged from 0.804 to 15.1 ng g–1 dry weight, with antihistamines being most common. Brompheniramine promethazine identified samples for first time. Although no significant health risks humans through consumption oysters, 100–1000...

A former mercury plant, where salts and organomercurials for pesticide use were produced, caused soil contamination in high concentrations. Typical organomercurial products included ethylmercury, phenylmercury, methoxyethylmercury ethoxyethylmercury compounds. Risk assessment of these sites must be carried out before any major clean-up processes can planned. sensitive speciation technique the various organomercury species environmental matrices is a prerequisite toxicity investigations. In...

Abstract Three simple sediment extraction procedures, using Milli‐Q water, DMSO, and methanol, were applied to 16 samples collected from the Thames River, Ontario, Canada. The three extracts tested for presence of toxicity genotoxicity Microtox,® Toxi‐Chromotest,® Mutatox® (with without S9) procedures. Results study indicated that Mutatox screening test was an extremely sensitive procedure responding chemicals in all types extracts. Methanol found be more efficient than DMSO extracting toxic...

Abstract Identification, protection and enhancement of essential habitats are priority issues for management restoration exploited species. The shores utilized by Asian horseshoe crabs as nurseries were surveyed the coastal habitat characteristics described in northern Beibu Gulf China. Regression models applied to explore species‐habitat relationships. Fourteen ten nursery sites identified Tachypleus tridentatus Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda populations, respectively. Xiacun Jinhaiwan...

Juvenile tri-spine horseshoe crabs ( Tachypleus tridentatus ) were exposed to determine the effects of single and combined stresses polystyrene nanoplastics (nano-PS) heavy metal (Cu 2+ on antioxidant enzyme parameters. The juveniles a 21-day 100-nm concentration (10 4 particles l -1 Cu µg followed by recovery period 7 days. in vivo activity for whole crab was analyzed. results revealed that all parameters, i.e., superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde...

The impacts of high-density microplastics, namely polyamine 6,6 (nylon), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), on growth behaviour the endangered tri-spine horseshoe crab Tachypleus tridentatus were investigated for 100 days. Negative changes in wet weight prosomal width juveniles observed all treatments but significant difference was only detected between control PMMA. T. became significantly less active upon exposure to nylon PET. extent burrowing by did not...

Abstract This paper reports the application of a battery microbiological and toxicant screening tests to sediments collected from Port Hope area. The were extracted using Milli‐Q water solvents. solvent extracts indicated that whole sampling area has been impacted by toxic chemicals. Daphnia magna test was most sensitive in extracts. Microbiological studies was, is continuing be, fecal pollution.
