TL;DR: Model calculations and experimental observations consistently show that polyethylene accumulates more organic contaminants than other plastics such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, and PCBs could transfer from contaminated plastics to streaked shearwater chicks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in rivers and estuaries in Malaysia: a widespread input of petrogenic PAHs.
Mohamad Pauzi Zakaria,Hideshige Takada,Shinobu Tsutsumi,Kei Ohno,Junya Yamada,Eriko Kouno,Hidetoshi Kumata +6 more
TL;DR: PAHs and hopanes fingerprints indicated that used crankcase oil is one of the major contributors of the sedimentary PAHs, and other biomarker profiles confirmed the hypothesis of the input from street dust contained the leaked crank case oil.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The utility and feasibility of the International Pellet Watch approach to monitor POPs at a global scale are demonstrated and high concentrations of pesticide HCHs were detected in the pellets from southern Africa, suggesting current usage of the pesticides in southern Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in Sediment Cores from Asia and Africa as Indicators of Temporal Trends in Plastic Pollution
Yukari Matsuguma,Hideshige Takada,Hidetoshi Kumata,Hirohide Kanke,Shigeaki Sakurai,Tokuma Suzuki,Maki Itoh,Yohei Okazaki,Ruchaya Boonyatumanond,Mohamad Pauzi Zakaria,Steven P Weerts,Brent K Newman +11 more
TL;DR: In dated sediment cores from Japan, microplastic pollution started in 1950s, and their abundance increased markedly toward the surface layer (i.e., 2000s), suggesting the global occurrence of and an increase in microplastics pollution over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-residue analytical method for human pharmaceuticals and synthetic hormones in river water and sewage effluents by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
TL;DR: A sensitive and selective multi-residue method for simultaneous determination and quantification of 23 pharmaceuticals and synthetic hormones from different therapeutic classes in water samples to determine the levels of target analytes in various samples, including river water and STP effluents.
