Cigarette butts (CBs) are emerging soil contaminants, releasing chemicals upon contact with moisture. This study examined heavy metal concentrations leached from smoked and unsmoked CBs (Pall Mall, Philip Morris, and Marlboro) into OECD artificial so...

Analyzing the fluctuations of particulate matter (PM) concentrations and their scaling correlation structures are useful for air quality management. Multifractal characterization of PM2.5 and PM10 of three cities in India wase considered using the de...

Microplastics, defined as plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, have become a pervasive environmental contaminant detected across a wide range of ecosystems. While the presence of microplastics in marine life and humans has been extensively docum...

Atmospheric pollution of metals negatively impacts the health of terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals. Despite implementation of policies that have substantially decreased emissions of metal pollutants, their legacy continues in temperate fores...

The Tula industrial area in Central Mexico comprises, among other industries, a refinery and a thermoelectric power plant. It is well known for its constant emissions of gases into the atmosphere and considered an important area where pollutants rele...

Nitrite is a common pollutant in marine environments and can cause mortality in crustaceans and bivalves. The purpose of the current study is to understand nitrate’s toxicity to juvenile clams due to its potential impact on aquaculture and mari...
