Chlorinated Diphenyl Ethers in Sediments, Biota, and the Water Column from Coastal British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
Nature Precedings, 2007 AbstractPolychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDEs) are impurities in technical chlorophenol mixtures, are used as dielectric fluids in capacitors and as herbicides, antiseptics, food preservatives, and papers and textiles, and can be formed through the chlorination of organics in water and wastewater streams.

Biosystems, 2021 The earliest record of animal life comes from the Ediacaran of Newfoundland, including dm scale fossil organisms, most of which are inferred to have been epibenthic immotile eumetazoans. This work introduces the palaeobiology of the major fossil groups in the Newfoundland assemblages including strange fractal-like taxa and addresses some of ...

Legacy DDT and its metabolites in Brook Trout from lakes within forested watersheds treated with aerial applications of insecticides. [PDF]
PLoS ONETo manage defoliation from insect outbreaks, about half of the forested land in New Brunswick, Canada, was treated with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) between 1952 and 1968. Aerial applications of DDT have thus likely increased the risk of chronic

ARCTIC, 2015 Sediment cores from three lakes located in the northernmost region of Ungava, Quebec (Canada) were examined to define aquatic community and ecosystem variability during the Late Holocene period. A chironomid-based transfer function was used to reconstruct August air temperature trends, and lacustrine primary production was inferred from sedimentary ...

The stratigraphic relationship between the Shuram carbon isotope excursion, the oxygenation of Neoproterozoic oceans, and the first appearance of the Ediacara biota and bilaterian trace fossils in northwestern Canada [PDF]
Chemical Geology, 2013 Abstract A mechanistic understanding of relationships between global glaciation, a putative second rise in atmospheric oxygen, the Shuram carbon isotope excursion, and the appearance of Ediacaran-type fossil impressions and bioturbation is dependent on the construction of accurate geological records through regional stratigraphic correlations.

Microplastics in the digestive tract of Gryllus pennsylvanicus crickets in a biosolid – treated agricultural field [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMicroplastic ubiquity, its general toxicology, and its suitability for ingestion by biota are leading ecological and human health concerns. Microplastics are abundant in terrestrial environments including agricultural settings where municipal biosolids ...

Proposal of novel Predicted No Effect Concentrations (PNEC) for metals in freshwater using Species Sensitivity Distribution for different taxonomic groups [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWater pollution by metals and metalloids promotes toxic effects to aquatic biota especially in mining regions. Environmental legislation applied to protect aquatic life from the toxicity of metals relies on the definition of protective values (PVs) for ...
