Aquatic organisms exhibit a range of behavioural adaptations when confronted with contaminated environments. In recent decades, research has revealed that both chronic and acute contamination events ...

A new study explores waste management systems and reveals that achieving zero waste leakage by 2030 is unlikely, potentially jeopardizing related Sustainable Development Goals. The authors emphasize ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240260 discusses a novel strategy for detecting trace-level nanoplastics in aquatic environments. Plastic materials have ...

Fresh water is an important and widespread natural resource. Microorganisms play key roles in freshwater biogeochemical processes, which are mostly studied during summer. However, with more than half ...

The revised framework expands protection of aquatic ecosystems. MAHWAH, N.J., Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new open-access manuscript in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry marks a major step ...

Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the ...

Some make nests inside seashells, others tote bubbles of air on their backs. The spiders that went back to water evolved lots of slick survival strategies. By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published ...

Antibiotic residues in wastewater and wastewater treatment plants in the regions around China and India risk contributing to antibiotic resistance, and the drinking water may pose a threat to human ...

Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work shows that many aquatic lineages instead rewire and expand key gene families, ...

Every year, around 1,200 and 1,400 artificial turf sports fields are installed in the European Union. These fields are made up of synthetic fibers, mainly plastics, that mimic the appearance of ...

N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, better known as DEET, is one of the world’s most widely used insect repellents – and it is now turning up in rivers, lakes, groundwater and even drinking water around the ...
