SDG 6 comprises specific targets emphasising equitable access to clean water and sanitation, addressing water pollution, promoting sustainable management of water resources, protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems and fostering collaboration (see Figure 2).16 In addition, SDG 11.5 and SDG 13.1 ...
to predict diffusion patterns and take effective response measures; third, concerns regarding the possibility of increased water pollution caused by drugs used for treatment of COVID-19 patients; and fourth, the need for enhanced wastewater treatment to reduce the likelihood of COVID-19 transmission ...
One effective strategy to abate pollution resulting from CSOs is to maximize the delivery of flows during wet weather to a wastewater treatment plant for processing. Delivering these flows would maximize the use of available wastewater treatment plant capacity for wet weather flows and would ensure ...
The term “marine tar residue” used herein describes several types of weathered oil conglomerations that originate from marine oil pollution and can be found in varying quantities on beaches, the open ocean surface, and the seafloor. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of marine ...
In this context, it is important to note that in many disadvantaged countries, water shortage is not just caused by a lack of physical resources. The problem is caused by economic difficulties, pollution, inadequate management, or a lack of technological resources. Unfortunately, unless these ...
This may result in diffuse pollution in areas where contaminated groundwaters occur. This paper presents an historical context of SGD studies, defines the process in a form that is consistent with our current understanding of the driving forces as well as our assessment techniques, and reviews the...
As governments invest in interrelated SDG 14 targets, such as target 14.1 on marine pollution, 14.2 on healthy oceans, 14.4 on sustainable fisheries, 14.5 on marine protected areas, there is an increasing demand for training policies and systems supporting professional environmental divers. Efforts to...
The abundance of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) in the surface ocean plays a critical role in the growth of marine microorganisms and corals by affecting the optical properties (i.e., the penetration of UV radiation) of seawater. In general,

(Slomp and Van Cappellen2004; Rocha et al.2015; Santos et al.2021). SGD is associated with the outbreaks of harmful algal blooms (Hu et al.2006; LaRoche et al.1997; Lee et al.2010) as well as coastal pollution through pesticides and heavy metals such as monomethyl mercury (Duque et ...
