Assessing the source of oil deposited in the surface sediment of Mormugao Port, Goa - A case study of MV Qing incident.
V. Suneel,Mahua Saha,Chayanika Rathore,Jenica Sequeira,P.M. Nikhil Mohan,Durbar Ray,S. Veerasingam,V. Trinadha Rao,P. Vethamony +8 more
TL;DR: While no clear trend was observed in water samples, the bottom surface sediments did show an identical pattern of hopanes with the oil, confirming the ship oil as the source of oil pollution in sediments.

Microplastic intrusion into the zooplankton, the base of the marine food chain: Evidence from the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean.
Prasun Goswami,Selvakumar Narasimman,Pankaj Verma,Mahua Saha,V. Suneel,Nambali Valsalan Vinithkumar,Gopal Dharani,Chayanika Rathore,Jibananand Nayak +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the concentration and composition of microplastic in water and diverse zooplankton groups from the Arabian Sea basin, and found that polyamide, polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC were abundant in water, suggesting that textile, fishing, shipping, and packaging industries are significant sources.

Source analysis of radiocesium in river waters using road dust tracers
Michio Murakami,Mahua Saha,Yuichi Iwasaki,Rei Yamashita,Yukio Koibuchi,Hirofumi Tsukada,Hideshige Takada,Keisuke Sueki,Tetsuo Yasutaka +8 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that combinations of these metals and 137Cs are useful for analyzing sources of radiocesium in water, and ratios in river water during wet weather were found to be comparable with or lower than during dry weather and were closer to soils than road dust, suggesting a limited contribution from road dust to radiOCesium pollution in riverWater.
