TL;DR: Results of this study support that river runoff, watershed area, population and urbanization rate influence the distribution of microplastics in estuarine surface water, and the prevalence of micro Plastics pollution calls for monitoring microplastic pollution at a national scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of microplastics in mariculture water of Longjiao Bay, southeast China: Influence by human activities.
TL;DR: Investigation of a shrimp-culturing farm for 9 months in Longjiao Bay, a typical mariculture area in southeast China, showed that microplastics were widely present and had a potential positive correlation with local seafood yield and a negative correlation with land areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical Assessment and Spatial Analysis of Heavy Metals in the Surface Sediments in the Eastern Beibu Gulf: A Reflection on the Industrial Development of the South China Coast
TL;DR: The results showed that the study area has been slightly polluted by Pb, which might be caused by non-point sources, and the distribution of these heavy metals in the surface sediments collected from the Beibu Gulf was complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Cadmium on Bioaccumulation, Bioabsorption, and Photosynthesis in Sarcodia suiae
TL;DR: The results indicated that the photosynthesis of seaweed will increase bioaccumulation and bioabsorption in a cadmium environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
