Bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants in the deepest ocean fauna.
TL;DR: Contaminant levels were considerably higher than documented for nearby regions of heavy industrialization, indicating bioaccumulation of anthropogenic contamination and inferring that these pollutants are pervasive across the world’s oceans and to full ocean depth.
Microplastics provide new microbial niches in aquatic environments
Yuyi Yang,Wenzhi Liu,Zulin Zhang,Hans-Peter Grossart,Hans-Peter Grossart,Geoffrey M. Gadd,Geoffrey M. Gadd +6 more
TL;DR: More knowledge is required on the microbial community composition of microplastic biofilms and their ecological functions in order to better evaluate consequences for the environment and animal health, including humans, especially since the worldwide abundance ofmicroplastics is predicted to dramatically increase.
Pharmaceutical residues in wastewater treatment works effluents and their impact on receiving river water
TL;DR: The pharmaceutical residues from Scaynes Hill WTW were eventually discharged into the river Ouse, causing an elevation in their concentrations downstream of the outfall, confirmed by the good agreement between measured concentrations and those predicted by a simple dilution model.

Contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Jiulong River Estuary and Western Xiamen Sea, China
TL;DR: High PAH concentrations in water and pore water were significantly higher than those found in 1998, suggesting recent inputs of these compounds into the area and re-working of sediment phase, and the complexity of the partition behaviour of PAHs is likely to have caused mortality to certain exposed organisms.

Hydrothermal synthesis of magnetic sludge biochar for tetracycline and ciprofloxacin adsorptive removal.
TL;DR: Fe/Zn-SBC had the high selective adsorption capacity for TC and CIP in a wide pH range and even at the high ionic strength, and suggested that it is a promising adsorbent for antibiotics removal.
