Evaluating Solutions to Marine Plastic Pollution

Environments
The pollution of the oceans by plastic waste is one of the major environmental problems of our time. It is estimated that there are millions of tons of polymers floating on the surface of the oceans, concentrated in several large plastic accumulations so-called plastic islands.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Method Based on Continuous Artificial Dry and Humid UV Treatments to Reduce the Luminescence Background in the Raman Spectra of Plastics

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We propose an UV photobleaching pretreatment to reduce the strong luminescence in the Raman spectra of plastic samples. Our protocol proves its efficiency whatever the luminescence origin (from the pigments or from a surface biofilm) but requires a careful optimization of the illumination conditions (UV wavelength, time, humidity) to reach the ...

Microbially driven organic carbon cycling at the land−sea interface: Advances and an integrated study framework

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The land−sea interface is a vital component of global biogeochemical cycles, where microorganisms drive the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. This review synthesizes the research progress from representative land−sea interfaces to elucidate how the microbial community structure and metabolic function influence the mobilization ...
