We carried out measurements of the CO2 system parameters to evaluate the impact of carbonate and nutrients’ chemistry on phytoplankton populations in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG). The seasonal variations of the CO2 system parameters (fCO2, DIC, pH and TA) along with nitrates and phosphates were quantified weekly at surface (between 0 and 5 m depth) (5....
Elevated PFAS concentrations have consistently been found in perch from the Kvädöfjärden monitoring station (Original station) since monitoring of this chemical group started in 2016. In this project we 1) investigated the temporal variability of PFAS in Kvädöfjärden by retrospective analysis of perch from 1981 until 2015, 2) investigated the spati...

Individuals who suffer from depressive symptoms experience a substantial impact on psychosocial functioning, physical health, mortality, and quality of life. In the search for therapeutic strategies, exercise has been found to play a relevant part in its treatment. However, the promotion of exercise entails adherence difficulties that arose out of ...
The aim of the report is three-fold. Firstly, to evaluate to what extent phase-out of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) first initiated in the early 2000s are reflected in the biota concentration within the Baltic Sea. Secondly, to investigate the spatial differences of PFAS across the Baltic Sea, which has not previously been eval...
Per- och polyfluorerade alkylsubstanser (PFAS) omfattar högfluorerade ämnen och representerar industriellt framställda svårnedbrytningsbara kemikalier med påvisade hälsoeffekter. I studien som genomfördes på Frösön och ett referensområde nära Umeå har vi samlat in prover från olika matriser som ingår i den terrestra näringskedjan. Proverna har anal...
Deep oceans receive mercury (Hg) from upper oceans, sediment diagenesis, and submarine volcanism; meanwhile, sinking particles shuttle Hg to marine sediments. Recent studies showed that Hg in the trench fauna mostly originated from monomethylmercury (MMHg) of the upper marine photosynthetic food webs. Yet, Hg sources in the deep-sea chemosynthetic ...
Good Environmental Status (GES) for Descriptor 8 (D8) of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is considered to be achieved when concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects. This study proposes a framework to assess GES in marine waters adjacent to France, including four groups of species (bivalves, fi...
In the semiarid coast of northeast Brazil, climate change and changes in land use in drainage basins affect river hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry, modifying the estuarine environment and its biogeochemistry and increasing the mobilization of mercury (Hg). This is particularly relevant to the largest semiarid-encroached basin of the region, the Jag...
An account of the geology, vegetation associations, mycobiota, flora and avifauna of Ngārango Otainui, a 0.309 ha island located at the eastern end of the Māngere Inlet, Manukau Harbour, Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland is provided. This appears to be the first comprehensive account of the island’s geology, vegetation and biota. The island has been mappe...
