Organic Micropollutants in the Aquatic Environment
More than 10 years after the "First European Symposium on Organic Micropollutants in the Aquatic Environment", the "Sixth Symposium" was held in Lisbon (Portugal) from 22 to 24 May 1990. The Symposium was organised within the framework of the Concerted Action COST 641 * which is included in the Fourth R&D Programme on the Environment of the Commission of the European Communities expiring at the end of 1990. After restructuring the Concerted Action in 1984, particular attention has been devoted to fate and transformation of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment. Therefore, a major aim of the Symposium was to review current studies and progress in these areas, besides more general...
Microlitter in arctic marine benthic food chains and potential effects on sediment dwelling fauna
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2020-528/# This report provides both field and impact data on microlitter pollution in the arctic marine environment of Svalbard and Greenland. Microlitter concentrations and characteristics were determined in marine sediments and biota in relation to local sources. Higher concentrations and diversities were found closer to human settlements and sites where lost/dumped fishing gear accumulated. Thus, local microlitter sources were found to be present in the Arctic. The experimental studies on effects of microlitter on feeding rate, microplastic ingestion, respiration and locomotion activity in an arctic amphipod, confirmed previous studies showing effects only at very high concentrations, not yet relevant in the arctic environment. The relatively low field concentrations of microlitter found in this study should be regarded as a ‘window of opportunity’ to act to at least reduce local pollution.
A Poison Like No Other
“Informed, utterly blindsiding account.” - Booklist, starred review It’s falling from the sky and in the air we breathe. It’s in our food, our clothes, and our homes. It’s microplastic and it’s everywhere—including our own bodies. Scientists are just beginning to discover how these tiny particles threaten health, but the studies are alarming. In A Poison Like No Other, Matt Simon reveals a whole new dimension to the plastic crisis, one even more disturbing than plastic bottles washing up on shores and grocery bags dumped in landfills. Dealing with discarded plastic is bad enough, but when it starts to break down, the real trouble begins. The very thing that makes plastic so use...
Chiffret
När Nina Guerrera var 16 år kidnappades hon av en ökänd seriemördare som kallas Chiffrören. Nina lyckades fly i sista sekund, och Chiffrören försvann spårlöst. Elva år senare arbetar hon för FBI och är en av landets främsta agenter. Under ett uppdrag blir Nina påhoppad av en grupp män och attacken filmas och blir viral. Chiffrören är en av de tusentals som ser videon. Hennes gamla kidnappare känner igen Nina direkt och är nu fast besluten att avsluta det han påbörjat. Genom att begå ett brutalt mord och lämna mystiska ledtrådar efter sig lockar han Nina till sig, och hans lekar har bara börjat. Tillsammans med FBI:s främsta gärningsmannaprofilerare, Dr. Jeffrey Wade, börjar Nina jakten efter Chiffrören. En jakt där Nina inte bara jagar, utan också jagas ... Den bästsäljande amerikanska författaren Isabella Maldonado är en före detta FBI-utredare som i mer än två decennier arbetat med grova våldsbrott, innan hon sadlade om till spänningsförfattare. Boken "Chiffret" kom ut i USA 2020, och blev snabbt en stor succé. Netflix har köpt filmrättigheterna och Jennifer Lopez är tilltänkt till huvudrollen.
Dump Philosophy
Ranging across philosophy, theology, ecology, psychology, and art, in Dump Philosophy Michael Marder argues that the earth, along with everything that lives and thinks on it, is at an advanced stage of being converted into a dump for industrial output and its by-products feeding consumerism and its excesses. Every day, scientific studies, media reports, and first-hand accounts of the rapidly deteriorating state of the environment hit us with a growing and disconcerting force. Trends such as microplastics in water, airborne toxins, topsoil degradation, and dangerous levels of carbon dioxide have upset the delicate ecological balance that has until now been sustaining life on the planet. Marde...
