A Preliminary Assessment of Size-Fractionated Microplastics in Indoor Aerosol-Kuwait's Baseline.

The omnipresence of microplastic (MP) in various environmental samples, including aerosols, has raised public health concerns; however, there is presently very limited information on MPs in indoor aerosol. This paper presents a unique dataset where smaller MPs have been sampled using a six-stage cascade impactor from indoor environments in Kuwait. The MP concentration in the indoor air varied between 3.

Po concentration in selected calanoid copepods in the northern Arabian Gulf.

Copepods are the most abundant metazoans, forming a vital food chain link between the primary producers the phytoplankton and fish. This study presents baseline information on the concentration of Po among calanoid copepods isolated from the Kuwait marine area. The concentration of Po in six species of copepod, including Subeucalanus flemingeri, Parvocalanus crassirostis, Acartia pacifica, Calanopia elliptica, Acrocalanus gibber, and Euterpina acutifrons were 151.
