Journal ArticleDOI

Microplastics as vector for heavy metal contamination from the marine environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of two heavy metals, copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), leached from an antifouling paint to virgin polystyrene (PS) beads and aged polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fragments in seawater was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This commentary outlines the establishment, function and aims of the Ocean Sampling Day Consortium and describes the vision for a sustainable study of marine microbial communities and their embedded functional traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Halophyte vegetation influences in salt marsh retention capacity for heavy metals.

TL;DR: It was concluded that areas colonised by H. portulacoides are potential sources of Cu, Cd and Pb to the marsh ecosystem, whereas areas Colonised by S. maritima are more effective sinks at least for Cu and Cd.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal Variation of Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd Concentrations in the Root-Sediment System of Spartina Maritima and Halimione Portulacoides From Tagus Estuary Salt Marshes

TL;DR: It was concluded that H. portulacoides is a more effective accumulator of metals than S. maritima, and both root-sediment systems exhibited a seasonal variation of metal concentrations.
