Heavy metals and PAHs were measured in animal foodstuffs from Augusta-Melilli-Priolo area order to evaluate the potential human health risk associated their consumption. All heavy detected seafood products while most of them <LOD beef, pork milks samples. Particularly, registered higher values total arsenic (As), mercury (Hg) lead (Pb) than other food categories, beef showed content zinc (Zn). Cadmium (Cd) Pb below tolerable limits reported by European Union (1) exceed threshold value...
Abstract Predicting responses of plankton to variations in essential nutrients is hampered by limited situ measurements, a poor understanding community composition, and the lack reference gene catalogs for key taxa. Iron driver dynamics and, therefore, global biogeochemical cycles climate. To assess impact iron availability on communities, we explored comprehensive bio‐oceanographic bio‐omics data sets from Tara Oceans context products two state‐of‐the‐art scale models. We obtained novel...
The Gulf of Milazzo (north-eastern Sicily) has been recognized as Italian Site National Interest (SNI; areas characterised by high level contamination with potential effects on human health) in 2005 because its pollution. In this study we measured the concentration Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs), and PolyBrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) seawater sediments sampled from order to assess i) environmental status contamination, ii) cancer non-cancer...
After decades of industrial exploitation the coast and consequent contamination sites marine sediments, it became essential to recover ecosystem by remediation methods remove toxic contaminants. In this work, a method was developed clean sediments contaminated arsenic (As) mercury (Hg). The can be applied mobile platforms is based on an environmentally friendly approach designed minimise further contamination. tested two artificially real samples collected from highly in southern Italy,...

To date, remediation, protection, and restoration of contaminated sites is a global concern. The current technologies to restore sediments characterized by heterogeneous characteristics, several pollutants, fine grains, low hydraulic permeability are poorly effective; hence their remediation still challenging. A promising approach for the sediment's could be electrochemical route since it not-expensive, effective noninvasive in situ technology. Electrochemical (ER) commonly studied under...
