(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental problem, particularly in the marine environment, and nations are concerned about this issue. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the vertical ...
Spatial variability of summer hydrography in the central Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf is a very significant ocean body, which hosts more than 55% of the oil reserves of the world and produces about 30% of the total production, and thus, it is likely to face high risk and adverse problems ...
The Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Health Risks of Metal(oid)s Bioaccumulation in Leafy Vegetables: A Consumption Advisory
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
High levels of metal(oid)s in soil or food pose a severe health risk to humans. The potential toxicants find their way into the living systems via the food chain, following bioaccumulation in edible plants, including leafy ...
Distribution and environmental geochemical indices of mercury in tar contaminated beaches along the coast of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The current study aimed to gauge total mercury (THg) concentration and the environmental geochemical indices in tarmat contaminated sediments and test their presence in targeted coastal species. Layers of hard asphalt-like ...
A 51 ka sedimentary sequence in a seamount basin, Eastern Arabian Sea: Records for paleoceanographic and paleoclimate conditions
(
Elsevier
