Sourav Das
Probable sources of metal-(loid) contamination in Hurricane Harvey floodwater remnants from diverse land use settings in Houston, Texas, were investigated. The primary novelties of this work are that we (i) analyzed a wide suite of 51 eleme...
Investigating Plastic-Metal Interactions in Aquatic Environments Using Laser Ablation ICP-MS and Chemical Markers [0.03%]
Davide Spanu,Ludovica Botta,Stefano Carnati et al.
Davide Spanu et al.
Plastics in aquatic environments interact with metals, influencing their fate and transport. Biotic aging of plastics plays a pivotal role in this process, but the mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we employed laser ablation-inductively c...
The Legacy of Conventional Oil and Gas Development Outweighs Shale Gas Impacts on Stream Biodiversity [0.03%]
Ryan Olivier-Meehan,Ariel Levi Simons,Anirudh Prabhu et al.
Ryan Olivier-Meehan et al.
Unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) has expanded rapidly across the Appalachian Basin, raising concerns about its ecological effects. Although UOGD has been linked to water quality changes that may affect stream biota, a generaliz...
Environmental Quality Assessment Using Fecal Metabolomics in Waterfowl from Protected Wetlands in Southwest Spain [0.03%]
Cristina Navarro-Fernández,Belén Callejón-Leblic,Ángel Rafael Domínguez-Bustos et al.
Cristina Navarro-Fernández et al.
The study of environmental stress requires an understanding of biological responses to pollutants, which can be difficult to interpret due to multiple influencing factors. This study investigates the fecal metabolome of waterfowl as bioindi...

Emalie K Hayes,Madison T Gouthro,Sean A MacIsaac et al.
Emalie K Hayes et al.
UV C LEDs are an emerging technology offering wavelength-specific control for microbial inactivation in water and wastewater treatment. As these systems advance, complementary monitoring methods are needed to accurately evaluate the treatme...
Trust in Tap Water among Alaska Native Communities: A Case Study of a Community within the Norton Sound Region [0.03%]
Caleb M Fiakpui,Cristina Poleacovschi,Joseph A Charbonnet et al.
Caleb M Fiakpui et al.
Access to safe and reliable water remains a challenge for many Alaska Native communities. Even "served" Alaska Native communities, where at least 55% of homes have in-home piped water, often face service disruptions, unaffordability, and bo...
