Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

POLYBROMINATED DIPHENYL ETHERS (PBDEs) AND POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs) IN HOUSEHOLD DUST IN BIRMINGHAM, UK. [PDF]
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants that were used primarily as insulating fluids in electrical equipment and were banned in the 1970s, even so they are still being found in humans.

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, June 2026.ABSTRACT Atmospheric deposition of organic pollutants plays a crucial role in the transport and fate of contaminants in the environment, with implications for ecosystem health and human exposure. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and microplastics are increasingly recognized as transboundary threats due to ...
