Sponges as bioindicators for microparticulate pollutants? [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2020 ABSTRACT Amongst other threats, the world’s oceans are faced with man-made pollution, including an increasing number of microparticulate pollutants. Sponges, aquatic filter-feeding animals, are able to incorporate fine foreign particles, and thus may be a potential bioindicator for microparticulate pollutants.

Butterflies as bioindicators of metal contamination
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023 AbstractAnthropogenic trace metal contamination has significantly increased and has caused many hazardous consequences for the ecosystems and human health. The Terni basin valley (Central Italy) shows a heavy load of pollutants from industrial activities, while the characteristic orography structure of the valley favours air stagnation, thus limiting ...
