Potential contribution of faeces to resuspended PM1−10 in urban environment
Atmospheric Environment: X, 2020 The respirable fraction of resuspended urban road dust contains phosphorous at enhanced concentrations which may imply the potential presence of animal faeces.Specific biomarkers such as faecal sterols and bile acids are commonly used to verify the ...

Alteration and release of aliphatic compounds by the polychaete Nereis virens (Sars) experimentally fed with hydrocarbons [PDF]
, 2001 In the laboratory, marine worms were fed with a mixture of algae and several aliphatic hydrocarbons for 15 days. After ingestion by the worms, 34.9% of hydrocarbons are found in the faeces and only 3.1% accumulated in the gut.
