DOI: 10.1007/s10661-021-08906-5
Abstract: Coastal lagoons are among the most vulnerable ecosystems as they are often exposed to different anthropogenic activities. The Polychaetes, which are dominant components in macrobenthic community, are particularly exposed to contamination. The current study was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-021-09093-z
Abstract: The taxonomy-based response pattern of macroinvertebrates to pollution gradient is well established, with tolerant taxa increasing in impacted conditions, while sensitive taxa increase with decreasing deterioration, typical of rural pollution. This study identified rural indicator… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2020.118088
Abstract: Abstract The short term effect of multiple air pollutants e.g. aerosols (black carbon, BC; PM2.5 and PM10) and trace gases (NO2, SO2, and O3) on all-cause mortality was systematically investigated in a typical urban pollution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.105759
Abstract: Abstract Urbanisation of riverine landscapes is a major threat to river ecosystems because of the ecological consequences of the so called urban stream syndrome. Taxonomically, certain macroinvertebrate metrics such as the diversity of species of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2019.03.110
Abstract: Abstract This paper aims to explore the interactions between urban sustainability, urban pollution and city livability. Specifically, we propose a theoretical model that explains how the three pillars of urban sustainability (economic, environmental, and social)… read more here.
