TL;DR: A review of the current challenges facing the assessment of mixture effects and examines future areas of focus that seek to develop methodologies more suitable for environmental mixtures can be found in this article, where the authors show why accurate risk assessment of mixtures is vital by demonstrating the effect they can have on organisms in the environment.

TL;DR: This work presents a new and unbiased method of risk ranking chemicals based on the threat they pose to the aquatic environment by comparing their median UK river water and median ecotoxicity effect concentrations.

TL;DR: How the PBMS works is described, some of the key scientific and policy drivers for monitoring contaminants in predatory birds are highlighted, and the specific aims, scope, and methods are described.

TL;DR: It is expected that the biodiesel effectiveness should improve in the natural environment particularly in exposed beaches with strong wave action, however, more laboratory and field trials are required to confirm the operational use of biodiesel as a shoreline cleaner.

TL;DR: The relationship identified between PAH concentrations and DOC should help to enhance interpretation of PAH monitoring data that are currently sparse both spatially and temporally and, thus, enable more robust assessments of the potential risks of these environmental pollutants to sensitive aquatic organisms and human water supplies.
