Mixtures of environmental pollutants: effects on microorganisms and their activities in soils.
Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Mallavarapu Megharaj,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,N. Sethunathan,Ravi Naidu +4 more
TL;DR: There is an urgent need to generate sufficient, suitable, and long-term modeling data that have higher predictability when assessing pollutant mixture effects on microorganisms, to improve risk assessment at contaminated sites and to help devise more effective bioremediation strategies.

Long-Range Atmospheric Transport of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: A Global 3-D Model Analysis Including Evaluation of Arctic Sources
TL;DR: Sensitivity simulations suggest snow/ice scavenging is important for gas-phase PAHs, and on-particle oxidation and temperature-dependency of gas-particles partitioning have greater effects on transport than irreversible partitioning or increased particle concentrations.
