1. Chemical Pollutants Released to the Marine Environment by Degradation of Plastic Debris
Sammanfattning : Since the beginning of the mass production in the 1940s, plastic has been manufactured in quickly increasing amounts. Plastic debris accumulates in the environment and lately much attention has been drawn to the pollution in the world’s oceans. LÄS MER
2. Compositional clues to sources and sinks of terrestrial organic matter transported to the Eurasian Arctic shelf
Sammanfattning : The amount of organic carbon (OC) present in Siberian Arctic permafrost soils is estimated at twice the amount of carbon currently in the atmosphere. The shelf seas of the Arctic Ocean receive large amounts of this terrestrial OC from Eurasian Arctic rivers and from coastal erosion. LÄS MER
3. Terrestrial organic carbon dynamics in Arctic coastal areas : budgets and multiple stable isotope approaches
Sammanfattning : Arctic rivers transport 31-42 Tg organic carbon (OC) each year to the Arctic Ocean, which is equal to 10% of the global riverine OC discharge. Since the Arctic Ocean only holds approximately 1% of the global ocean volume, the influence of terrestrially derived organic carbon (OCter) in the Arctic Ocean is relatively high. LÄS MER
4. Enemies of the People : Whistle-Blowing and the Sociology of Tragedy
Sammanfattning : Enemies of the People is a book that examines whistle-blowing—i.e., the unauthorized conveyance of sensitive information to mass media and authorities—and the social responses this performance provokes. LÄS MER
5. Organic Phosphorus Compounds in Aquatic Sediments : Analysis, Abundance and Effects
Sammanfattning : Phosphorus (P) is often the limiting nutrient in lacustrine and brackish eco-systems, and enhanced input of P into an aquatic system might therefore negatively impact the environment. Because modern waste water manage-ment have reduced external P input to surface waters, internal P loading from the sediment has become one of the main P sources to aquatic ecosys-tems, in which relatively unknown organic P compounds seem to be more active in P recycling than previously thought.
