Certain poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances(PFASs)exhibit significant bioaccumulation/biomagnification behaviors in ecosystems.PFASs,such as perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS),perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA),perfluorohexanes...
Nanomaterials(NMs)have become an integral part of our daily life,and their extensive production will only increase with the increasing time.These NMs exhibit significant contrast regarding dimension,reaction,and struc...

Chlorinated paraffins(CPs)present a complex mixture of congeners which are often analysed and assessed as short-,medium-and long-chain CPs,i.e.SSCCP(C10eC13),SMCCP(C14eC17)and SLCCP(C18).Their complexity makes the che...

Although estuaries are critical habitats for many aquatic species, the spatial trends of toxic methylmercury(MeHg) in biota from fresh to marine waters are poorly understood. Our objective was to determine if MeHg c...
The concentrations of heavy metals (As, Hg, Cr, Pb and Zn) were measured in the macroalgae, macrobenthos and fish from the Tanzanian coastal marine environment in order to ascertain the biomagnification using stable...
Mercury (Hg) is an environmental pollutant, and can bioaccumulate and biomagnify in the food web. Twenty four fish samples of different tropic level i.e., Herbivore, Omnivore and Carnivore were collected from two co...
Concentrations of selected heavy metals, nutrient elements and PAHs in farms and produce (cassava tubers and oil bean seeds) from 4-year-old crude oil impacted areas (Ekore and Uduvwoku) and a non-oil-impacted area (O...
