Proteomic approaches to environmental stress in mussel Mytilus edulis due to emerging classes of anthropogenic pollutants
Anthropogenic pollutant chemicals pose a major threat to aquatic organisms. There is a need for more research on emerging categories of environmental chemicals such as nanomaterials, endocrine disruptors and pharmaceuticals. Proteomics offers options and advantages for early warning of alterations …

Synthesis and Evaluation of Naturally Occuring Halogenated Bipyrroles in a Relevant Marine Species, Fundulus Heteroclitus
… substitution patterns that closely resemble anthropogenic pollutants like the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Environmental health concerns exists regarding these naturally occurring HDBPs because several of these …

Metabolism and mechanistic toxicity of environmental pollutants in fish models : integrating in vitro and in vivo systems for ecotoxicological studies.
… of mechanistic toxicity of natural and anthropogenic pollutants, while considering the influence of different environmental stressors. This work demonstrated that descriptions of adverse effects from exposure to pollutants are significantly facilitated by in vitro systems, but that …

Analysis of water masses distribution and circulation in the White Sea, Russia
… in order to investigate the potential threat of anthropogenic pollutants. However, the temporal and spatial resolution of such experiments has been inadequate to resolve issues such as the dispersion and propagation of environmentally hazardous substances. The present investigation uses in-situ …

Characterizing the influence of anthropogenic emissions and transport variability on sulfate aerosol concentrations at Mauna Loa Observatory
… sulfate aerosol, are now globally dominated by anthropogenic sources as a result of widespread fossil fuel combustion. Economic development in Asian countries since 1990 has contributed considerably to atmospheric sulfur loading, particularly China, which currently emits approximately 1/3 of …

Dynamically induced uncertainty in stratified turbulent mixing models
… of the vertical transport of heat, nutrients and anthropogenic pollutants. This applies to parameterisation schemes in coarsely resolved large-scale numerical simulations, as well as the processing and interpretation of spatio-temporally sparse observational field measurements. Most studies of …

Trophic dynamics in Australian seagrass beds : unravelling linkages from nutrients to fish
… for the management of marine ecosystems with anthropogenic disturbance rapidly altering bottom-up (e.g. nutrient enrichment) and top-down (e.g. fisheries exploitation) processes. To enhance understanding of bottom up and top-down influences in productive estuaries, this study investigated a …

An investigation of metal contaminants in sediments of Arctic Svalbard: Inferences for sources and transport pathways
… evidence that it is greatly impacted by anthropogenic metal contamination. The heavy metals are attributed to adverse effects on the health of biota and indigenous populations, due to their toxicity and bioaccumulative tendencies within the environment. There are three main metal …
