Human impacts on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon distribution in Chinese intertidal zones

Nature Sustainability, 2020
The intertidal zone—a transitional boundary between terrestrial and marine environments—has important ecological functions, and receives polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from human activities, but how and to what extent anthropogenic factors ...

Spitzer’s perspective of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in galaxies [PDF]

Nature Astronomy, 2020
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules are abundant and widespread throughout the Universe, as revealed by their distinctive set of emission bands at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.3 and 12.7 μm, which are characteristic of their vibrational modes. They

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]

, 2012
The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and
