Chemical pollution and the ocean
2023Chemicals of anthropogenic (human-made) origin are transported throughout the atmosphere and down rivers and streams, eventually ending up in the world's coastal and open oceans. This chemical pollution enters marine food webs, and humans are exposed primarily through seafood consumption.

Control of Chemical Pollutants
Nature, 1970Concern for environmental quality and consumer safety is burgeoning, and some classic assumptions of industrial society are being challenged. Now that apparent conflicts have developed between the needs for continued economic growth and environmental management it is timely to review some of the basic problems of chemical pollution, to develop methods ...

Chemical pollution and ecotoxicology
20171. Baltic Sea organisms appear to be particularly sensitive to persistent hazardous substances because many of them are physiologically stressed in their brackish-water environment. 2. The profile of chemical pollution of the Baltic Sea has changed during the past decades with reductions in the concentrations of many “legacy contaminants”

Environmental Science & Technology, 1991
Over the past decade, public and governmental awareness of environmental problems has grown steadily, with an accompanying increase in the regulation of point sources of pollution. As a result, great strides have been made in cleaning polluted rivers and decreasing air pollution near factories.

2017
The US Environmental Protection Agency has criteria inorganic outdoor air pollutants as follows: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, lead, and suspended particulate matter, which have widely variable chemical compositions. Most studies have focused on neurological and cardiac effects related to acute high-level CO exposures ...

Effects of Chemical Pollutants on Reproductive and Developmental Processes in Italian Amphibians
Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2019 It is a widely held belief that environmental contaminants contribute to the decline of amphibian populations. By spending most of their early life in water and later stages on the land, amphibians face a constant risk of exposure to pesticides and other

Abstract Ecosystems around the globe are increasingly being inundated with a cocktail of chemical pollutants. From antidepressant drugs found in the tissues of fish from the Niagara River to persistent organic pollutants detected in polar bears from Arctic ecosystems, pollutants are capable of affecting the development, physiology ...

Microorganisms and Chemical Pollution
BioScience, 1973Microorganisms are unquestionably important in chemical pollution and pollution abatement. They are environmental decontaminating agents par excellence, ridding waters and soils of many natural and synthetic compounds which are not desired at that time or place or concentration. They sometimes are significant, too, because they may synthesize hazardous

Pollution and the Chemical Industry
1998Large-scale and widespread industrial production opened a new phase in the relationship between nature and society.1 Wherever industries appeared, communities were confronted with the problems of their emissions. This had an impact on every industrialising country.

Persistent Chemical Pollutants
2018A legacy of persistent pollutants is widely distributed in the environment, increasing the potential for exposure of wildlife and humans. This POSTnote sets out the challenge this posed for regulators, current regulatory approaches and some of the emerging issues.
