Tracking mercury in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean: the use of tuna and tuna-like species as indicators of bioavailability
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Environmental Science and Pollution Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-07275-4
Abstract: Mercury is a trace element that is potentially dangerous due its high toxicity and tendency to bioaccumulate in organisms. Currently, high mercury concentrations are seen in the environment especially due climate changes. Studies regarding mercury… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2018.08.042
Abstract: Millimetre-sized fragments have been documented in many fish species, but their transfer through food webs is still poorly understood. Here we quantified and described plastic fragments in the digestive tracts of 43 Easter Island flying… read more here.
