The concentrations of micro- and meso-plastics were 0.063, 0.174, 0.094, and 0.050 pieces/m〈sup〉3〈/sup〉 in February, May, August and November, respectively, with an annual average concentration of 0.095 pieces/m〈sup〉3〈/sup〉. The size of the micro- and meso-plastics ranged from 346 to 155,200 μm, with an average of 5093 ± 43 μm. The overall percentages of fibers, fragments and plastic foams were 29%, 55% and 16%, respectively. The dominant chemical composition was polypropylene (PP), accounting for 51.04% of polymers, followed by polyethylene (PE), accounting for 26.04% of polymers. Strong rainfall resulted in an increase in the plastic concentration in May, and winds and eddies affected the spatial distribution of plastics in Jiaozhou Bay.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Chemical processes between sediment and water have been described based on the determination of ions, metals, non-metals, and TOC concentrations. Rock weathering is an important source of Fe, Ni, Co, Al in the seashore area. The PCA shows the impact of acidification in the release metals from sediment. Our results indicate that riverine mineral fluxes need to be accounted for as the volume of melt increases in response to climate change. Based on geoaccumulation indexes (anthropogenic fingerprint), we observed an increased concentration of Pb (I〈sub〉geo〈/sub〉 = 1.643), in the lake near station facilities and Cd in the area of Ecology Glacier (I〈sub〉geo〈/sub〉 〉 1.389). Taking into account climate change and the intensification of anthropopressure, our study indicates that Antarctica requires a special focus on the seasonal dynamics of mineral content and pollution assessment.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉 〈div xml:lang="en"〉 〈h5〉Graphical abstract〈/h5〉 〈div〉〈p〉〈figure〉〈img src="https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0025326X20300060-ga1.jpg" width="266" alt="Unlabelled Image" title="Unlabelled Image"〉〈/figure〉〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Annually, an estimated 5.5 million m〈sup〉3〈/sup〉 grey water is emitted to the Baltic Sea with largest contribution from RoPax (4.25 million m〈sup〉3〈/sup〉) and cruise ships (0.65 million m〈sup〉3〈/sup〉). In total 44 different contaminants in grey water was identified and sorted into the sub categories 〈em〉organic compounds〈/em〉 (28) and 〈em〉metals〈/em〉 (16). Zinc and copper had the highest average concentrations with yearly inputs of 2.8 tons (zinc) and 1.5 tons (copper). 159 tons of nitrogen and 26.4 tons of phosphorus were estimated to be discharged to the Baltic Sea annually. An environmental risk assessment of contaminants, performed at a shipping lane in the Baltic Sea, showed the risk for adverse effects from grey water to be low. Nitrogen and phosphorus input from grey water contributes to 0.25% of the exceedance of, for the Baltic Sea set, eutrophication target.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Chandramohanakumar〈/p〉 〈div xml:lang="en"〉 〈h5〉Abstract〈/h5〉 〈div〉〈p〉Distribution and ecological risks of Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are poorly studied in estuarine environments in India. An attempt is made to chart the sources and assess the ecological risk of six PAE congeners (∑〈sub〉6〈/sub〉PAEs), present in dissolved and particulate forms in a tropical ecosystem (Cochin Estuary, India). Terrestrial input, as attested by a clear seasonality with substantial enrichment during monsoon (2–28 μg/L and 31–1203 μg/g; dissolved and particulate PAEs respectively) and post-monsoon (1–7 μg/L and 7–321 μg/g; dissolved and particulate PAEs respectively), was identified as the primary source. DnBP (di-n-butyl phthalate) and DEHP (diethylhexyl phthalate) were found to be the dominant species except for dissolved PAEs at pre-monsoon season. Statistical analysis identified two major clusters, in the ∑〈sub〉6〈/sub〉PAEs, composed of medium to high molecular weight PAEs (derived from plastic products) and low molecular weight PAEs (derived from cosmetic products). Calculated Risk Quotient (RQ) indicated values indicated moderate to high ecological risk for DnBP and DEHP congeners is a grim pointer to their detrimental effects on human health through consumption of contaminated organisms. Although substantial enrichment of suspended matter gets flushed out of the estuary during monsoon, there is a net PAE accumulation in the estuary during post-monsoon following an increased sedimentary restitution. Data of PAEs generated herein raises a challenge for immediate enactment of statutory legislation to curb and regulate hazardous contamination of estuaries by phthalic acid esters.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Extensive validation tests were performed for winds, currents, surface slick, stranded oil and oil fate. A series of hindcast experiments was designed to take into account the uncertainties in oil amount, environmental forcing and model parameters. The simulations confirmed that the stable large-scale Kuroshio acted as the primary driving force. Most oil followed the Kuroshio's large-meander path, rapidly passing through the East China Sea to the waters south of Japan. The wind, appearing as the secondary transport factor, did not change the path of this large-scale current, but did contribute to the drift of surface oil. The different fates for heavy fuel oil and condensate in the accident were also compared quantitatively and discussed in this study.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Wetz〈/p〉 〈div xml:lang="en"〉 〈h5〉Abstract〈/h5〉 〈div〉〈p〉Coastal watersheds in Texas have experienced significant human population growth over the past several decades, yet there have been no comprehensive assessments of water quality trends in Texas estuaries. Here, analysis of historical estuarine water quality data indicates regional “hot spots” of change. Galveston Bay and Oso Bay, which have highly urbanized watersheds, currently exhibit symptoms of eutrophication. Symptoms of eutrophication were also found in the Baffin Bay-Upper Laguna Madre complex, which has a sparsely populated but agriculturally-intensive watershed. Increasing salinity was observed in estuaries of the central Texas coast and are attributed to long-term decreases in freshwater inflow. Another artifact of decreasing freshwater inflow is a reduction in the delivery of carbonate minerals to estuaries, which manifests as decreases in pH. With findings from this study, targeted studies can now be directed at the estuaries that are experiencing water quality degradation in order to guide future management efforts.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Results showed that leaf construction cost based on mass (CCM) and caloric values of 〈em〉L. racemosa〈/em〉 were significantly lower than 〈em〉S. apetala〈/em〉, and the two natives had highest CCM. Because lower CCM, 〈em〉L. racemosa〈/em〉 grew faster with a taller height (4.83 m) and wider ground diameter circumference (40.03 cm) than 〈em〉S. apetala〈/em〉 (4.43 m tall and 35.63 cm wide) and the two natives (2.42 m tall and 26.78 cm wide). These findings indicated that 〈em〉L. racemosa〈/em〉 could be more invasive than 〈em〉S. apetala〈/em〉 in mangrove forests in northern Fujian, China where it still grew well, which deserves more attention.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

A 7-day dietary TRP supplementation elevated spontaneous swimming speed of yellowtail and mitigated their behavioral response to 〈em〉Chattonella〈/em〉 (250 cells/mL) exposure. A 30-day dietary TRP supplementation elevated growth of juvenile yellowtail. Lethal exposure to 〈em〉Chattonella〈/em〉 (1000 cells/mL) significantly elevated the turnover rates of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine metabolism in fish fed control diet, but did not alter the serotonin turnover rate in fish fed TRP + diet. Our results suggested that dietary supplementation with TRP had potential to mitigate the stress response in yellowtail to 〈em〉Chattonella〈/em〉, partly via mediating their brain monoamine metabolism.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

We studied the bioavailability of different molecular size DON from the major sources of agricultural, domestic, industrial, and urban non-point source, respectively, in Jiaozhou bay, China. By clarifying the relationship between the source and molecular size, the bioavailability of terrestrial DON can be further understood based on the aspects of bioavailability proportion (BDON%) and kinetics with the help of ultraviolet radiation. The bioavailability proportion of high molecular size DON (HDON; 〉1000 Da) was higher than that of low molecular size DON (LDON; 〈1000 Da), with values of 58.0% to 35.1% for the HDON and values of 47.2% to 29.5% for the LDON, respectively. There were significant differences in the degradation rate constants (〈em〉p〈/em〉 〈 0.05), which varied from 0.30 to 0.67 d〈sup〉−〈/sup〉〈sup〉1〈/sup〉 for HDON and from 0.13 to 0.75 d〈sup〉−〈/sup〉〈sup〉1〈/sup〉 for LDON. The SUVA〈sub〉254〈/sub〉 values were significantly and negatively correlated with the bioavailabilities of DON, which can reflect to some extent the structure and molecular size. In order to study the influences of the different terrestrial DON inputs on the eutrophication of Jiaozhou bay, a modified 3D coupled biogeochemical model was used based on the survey data in August 2012. Two scenarios of DON loads from Haibo river and Dagu river were modeled. The impact on eutrophication of Jiaozhou bay is higher for the agricultural source of DON from Dagu river than for the domestic source from Haibo river.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Contrary to the expectation very few microplastic particles were found. Only 37 MPs were detected in beach sediments at 15 locations. Seawater trawls indicated that MPs were low in the numbers. MPs were found in just two samples from Kuwait Bay and also in two samples from the southern areas. In biota, only 3 pieces of plastics were recovered from gastrointestinal tracks of hamour fish. The identified MPs were dominantly polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene.

The average AL abundance was 6.05 items/m〈sup〉2〈/sup〉, plastic items being the most common reaching a total percentage of 88.9% with an average density of 5.38 items/m〈sup〉2〈/sup〉. Application of 3 evaluation indices, based on the AL data, placed most of the beaches into the status of unacceptable conditions of cleanness (Dirty to Extremely Dirty), and into mediocre to unsatisfactory environmental status. Hazardous anthropogenic litter (HAL), occurred in considerable amounts with hazardous items reaching a high of 7% (502 items of 7563 total items collected), and an average of 0.40 items/m〈sup〉2〈/sup〉. Beaches were statistically grouped into four specific types that ranged from beaches in good environmental conditions (Group A) to beaches in extremely adverse environmental conditions (Group D). The typology and magnitudes of AL found along the study area suggest a combination of sources that are associated with the multiple usages developed along this region's coast. Anthropogenic litter is mainly related to land-based sources, and these generating source activities can be found in nearby basins and/or on the same beaches where the litter remains. This paper proposes four key actions to specifically reduce AL, as well as an 8-step agenda to address solutions to the broader management of litter problems.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉 〈div xml:lang="en"〉 〈h5〉Graphical abstract〈/h5〉 〈div〉〈p〉〈figure〉〈img src="https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0025326X20300278-ga1.jpg" width="301" alt="Unlabelled Image" title="Unlabelled Image"〉〈/figure〉〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Tassin〈/p〉 〈div xml:lang="en"〉 〈h5〉Abstract〈/h5〉 〈div〉〈p〉Rivers are a major pathway for plastics between lands and the ocean. At the land-ocean interface, estuaries make the transfer dynamic of plastics complex and nonlinear. That is why very little is known about this dynamic. In this respect, a specific marker (i.e. Microlax packaging) showing date-prints was systematically investigated in different riverbanks of the Seine estuary to identify the share of “old” and “recent” litter transiting through the estuary toward the ocean. Up to 70% of Microlax were “old” plastic items probably related to the meandering dynamic of the river over large time and space scales, and hydrodynamic conditions (tides) at smaller scales. This contributes together to increase the residence time of plastics into the estuary up to decades with almost endless transport, deposit and remobilization cycles. Consequently, the Seine estuary may function as a “microplastic factory” resulting from the fragmentation of macroplastics into microplastics well before they reach the ocean.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Nitrogen isoscapes revealed a strong spatial gradient (4.3 to 11.7‰) from the outer lagoon to three highly exposed bays of Nouméa. Several protected reefs would benefit from an improved management of wastewater outputs, while one bay in the UNESCO core area may suffer a high eutrophication risk in the future. Our study reinforces the usefulness of using benthic animals to characterize the anthropogenic N-footprint and provide a necessary baseline for both ecologists and policy makers.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

We conducted 6 focus groups (2016–17) involving participants with no obvious knowledge of microplastics and some with special interest. Most people were unaware of microplastics though environmentally conscious participants had heard of microbeads due to media reporting concerning regulation. Few made connections between their personal use of plastics and ocean pollution. Plastic pollution was associated with macro-plastic ‘islands’ in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and powerful media images of charismatic wildlife entanglement remote from participants lives. The scale of microplastics (not easily detected), poor understanding of the science behind microplastics and cultural ideas about healthy and appropriate behaviour presents barriers to change.

The concentrations of 16 polychlorinated biphenyls, 7 poly-brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 1 poly-brominated biphenyl (PBB) and a range of 19 organochlorine compounds (OCs) was investigated in blubber samples from a mother-foetus pair, an adult female and an adult male killer whale stranded in Ireland between 2010 and 2017. Concentrations ranged from 1.5 mg/kg to 49.3 mg/kg lipid weight and 0.04–1.2 mg/kg lipid weight for Σ16PCBs and Σ7PBDEs respectively. Concentrations of organochlorine compounds were also investigated in the male killer whale; a Σ19OC concentration of 49.4 mg/kg lipid weight was recorded. This study shows high levels of persistent organic pollutants occur in this species of whales stranded in Ireland.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Its impacts are dependent on its duration. In the present study, hypoxia was observed in autumn at the end of October 2011. It may be one of the latest recorded annual hypoxic events in the East China Sea (ECS). In the hypoxic regions, a large amount of nutrients and dissolved inorganic carbon were observed to regenerate. Also, acidification (low pH) was observed. On the other hand, hypoxic dissipation may be due to the destratification caused by the upwelling of the hypoxic regions in the ECS. These results suggest that hypoxia may occur for longer periods of time than expected and, accordingly, the effects of hypoxia on the ECS ecosystems should be reconsidered and further evaluated.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Stern〈/p〉 〈div xml:lang="en"〉 〈h5〉Abstract〈/h5〉 〈div〉〈p〉Accidental release of petroleum in the Arctic is of growing concern owing to increases in ship traffic and possible future oil exploration. A crude oil-in-sea ice mesocosm experiment was conducted to identify oil-partitioning trends in sea ice and determine the effect of weathering on crude oil permittivity. The dissolution of the lighter fractions increased with decreasing bulk oil-concentration because of greater oil-brine interface area. Movement of the oil towards the ice surface predominated over dissolution process when oil concentrations exceeded 1 mg/mL. Evaporation decreased oil permittivity due to losses of low molecular weight alkanes and increased asphaltene-resin interactions. Photooxidation increased the permittivity of the crude oil due to the transformation of branched aromatics to esters and ketones. Overall, the weathering processes influenced crude oil permittivity by up to 15%, which may produce sufficient quantifiable differences in the measured normalized radar cross-section of the ice.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

The efficiency of three digesting solutions was assessed. The most efficient digestion was the KOH (10%) solution incubated at 40 °C for a 48 h period.

A positive correlation was found between microplastic abundance and prawn carapace condition. Results indicate microplastic exposure in seafood for human consumption, in Ireland, is estimated to range from 15 to 4471 particles per year.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

The percentages of metal concentrations exceeding the ERL value follow the sequences: Ni (96%) 〉 As(71%) 〉 Cr(53%) 〉 Cu (19%) 〉 Zn (2.4%) 〉 Hg (0.5%) 〉 Pb (0.4%) 〉 Cd (0%). The similar ranking is also seen for MSQ class I. All metal concentrations were less than the ERM value, except Ni of which value 10.3% exceeded the ERM value. The potentially ecological risk from these sedimentary metals could be reduced because they were mainly present in the residual fraction, which is not available for marine organisms. It seems that the Ni ERL value is too low (20.8. mg kg〈sup〉−〈/sup〉〈sup〉1〈/sup〉), close to the value (18.6 mg kg〈sup〉−〈/sup〉〈sup〉1〈/sup〉) of the upper continental crust, to obey.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

The ocean is the largest active carbon pool on the planet and plays an important role in global climate change. However, marine plastic pollution is getting increasingly serious due to the large consumption and mismanagement of global plastics. The impact of marine plastics on ecosystem responsible for the gas exchange and circulation of marine CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 may cause more greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, in this paper, threats of marine microplastics to ocean carbon sequestration are discussed. Marine microplastics can 1) affect phytoplankton photosynthesis and growth; 2) have toxic effects on zooplankton and affect their development and reproduction; 3) affect marine biological pump; and 4) affect ocean carbon stock. Phytoplankton and zooplankton are the most important producer and consumer of the ocean. As such, clearly, further research should be needed to explore the potential scale and scope of this impact, and its underlying mechanisms.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

The concentrations (μg g〈sup〉−1〈/sup〉) of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Hg, As, and Ni in the sediment samples were 14.8–408, 33.0–130, 78.6–256, 0.193–1.79, 47.5–192, 0.052–1.39, 8.94–25.2, and 26.0–89.6, respectively. Most heavy metal concentrations increased from the bottom to the upper layers. On the basis of two sediment cores, the potential ecological risk of heavy metals was determined to be low, and the degree of potential ecological harm of heavy metals was in the order of Hg 〉 Cd 〉 As〉Cu 〉 Pb 〉 Cr 〉 Zn. Principal component analysis and correlation analysis yielded similar results, which indicated that heavy metals were closely related to the input of anthropogenic pollution (i.e., industrial pollutants and sewage discharge).〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Ω〈sub〉arag〈/sub〉 showed large seasonal variation in the surface waters, with dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) as a major factor controlling the seasonal variation. In the bottom waters, Ω〈sub〉arag〈/sub〉 exhibited only small seasonal variation compared with the surface waters; DIC and total alkalinity were the main factors contributing to the variation. The bottom water of the southeastern YS was undersaturated with aragonite during the fall, even though the southeastern YS was not typically associated with upwelling, freshwater discharge, or eutrophication processes. Aragonite undersaturation was most likely due to ocean dumping of organic materials. Therefore, ocean pumping should be prohibited in shallow marginal seas to prevent aragonite undersaturation.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉

Khandeparker, Belle Damodara Shenoy〈/p〉 〈div xml:lang="en"〉 〈h5〉Abstract〈/h5〉 〈div〉〈p〉Tarballs are semi-solid remnants of crude oil and they are formed in marine environment after oil-spill incidents. They are composed of diverse hydrocarbons; some of which are recalcitrant in nature. Recent studies based on amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA gene suggested that tarballs support hundreds of bacterial genera and provided insights into their role as hydrocarbon degraders and potential human pathogens. In this study, bacterial composition of tarball-contaminated seawater from Vagator beach, Goa, India was characterized by amplicon sequencing of V〈sub〉3〈/sub〉–V〈sub〉4〈/sub〉 regions of 16S rRNA gene. The DNA data revealed an unusual surge of 〈em〉Vibrio〈/em〉 in sea-water contaminated with tarballs in May 2018 (16.16% OTUs), compared to tarball-free seawater samples collected in March 2018 (no detectable OTUs) and September 2018 (0.17% OTUs). Further studies are required to investigate if 〈em〉Vibrio〈/em〉 species form biofilms on tarballs which may act as good reservoirs for their survival and transmission success.〈/p〉〈/div〉 〈/div〉
