Why is potassium permanganate used in the process of distillation of water? What makes "water with electrolytes" distinct from other forms of water? With so much gold out there, why isn't anyone getting rich by mining it from the ocean? The distilling flask should never be boiled...
Our study is the first to assess the presence of microplastics in the digestive tracts of multiple individuals from a range of both cetacean and pinniped species. At least one microplastic, which was confirmed using FTIR, was discovered in every animal with an average of 5.5 particles per anima...
This dual challenge underlines the urgency of investing in transportation infrastructure. The problem of transportation access is only likely to grow more acute in the coming years, and new infrastructure projects take many years to plan, finance and complete. Transit deserts in Orlando, Florida. Red...
The extract was run on a liquid chromatography column containing Florisil that had been dried for 1 h In a n oven at 110°C This further purlfied the apolai- phase of lipids that could not be saponified, such as steroids like cholesterol. The extracted organic matter (EOM1%)from freeze-...
Cetaceans are widely regarded as reliable sentinels of ocean health due to their position as top predator in the marine food web, their conspicuous nature, and their reliance on marine resources. Remarkably, no studies have been published on cetaceans and the impact of plastic pollution in the Ba...
Data collected by C. Re. Di. Ma over a 3-year period (2020–2022) were considered to assess anthropic pressure on cetaceans living in the Ligurian sea. Out of a total of 37 stranded cetaceans, a complete post mortem examination was performed on 23 cases.
NOAA scientists attributed the main cause of stranding of juvenile Guadalupe fur seal pups and juveniles (<2 years of age) to be malnutrition secondary to unprecedented ocean warming in the Northeast Pacific that reduced prey availability [15]. The anomalous marine heatwaves caused extreme warm sea...
