The Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) is a key species in European aquaculture, known for its economic and societal importance, particularly as a primary source of income for local fisheries in European coastal areas. While historically resilient to the mass mortality events that have affected other bivalve species, M. galloprovincialis may face increasing threats from emerging pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotic parasites.

Abiotic and Biotic Dissipation in Natural Attenuation of Phenanthrene and Benzo[a]pyrene: A Systematic Quantification Study in Contrasting Soils.

Environ Pollut

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resource Reuse, School of the Environment, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China.

Natural attenuation represents a significant ecosystem function for mitigating the quantity and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through both abiotic and biotic dissipation processes. This study systematically investigated abiotic and biotic dissipation of phenanthrene (Phe) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in four soils over 360 days, using CSIA to quantitatively analyze δ³C changes and demonstrate biodegradation. The results indicated that extractable Phe was primarily attenuated via biodegradation (65% - 81%), as revealed by CSIA, with the δ³C changes ranging from 2.

Department of Environmental Science, Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP), Dhaka 1216, Bangladesh; Hydrobiogeochemistry and Pollution Control Laboratory, Department of Environmental Sciences, Jahangirnagar University, Dhaka 1342, Bangladesh. Electronic address:

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become ubiquitous chemicals that pose potentially serious threats to both human health and the integrity of the ecosystem. This review compiles current knowledge on PFAS contamination in estuaries, focusing on sources, abundance, distribution, fate, and toxic mechanisms. It also addresses the health risks associated with these compounds and identifies research gaps, offering recommendations for future studies.

Pavement policies: unraveling the Norwegian ban on skateboarding.

Front Sports Act Living

January 2025

Department of Sports, Physical Education and Outdoor Studies, Faculty of Humanities, Sports and Educational Sciences, University College of South-Eastern Norway, Bø, Norway.

This paper investigates the historical prohibition of skateboarding in Norway from 1977 to 1989, a unique instance of such a comprehensive ban globally. The study aims to understand the circumstances leading to this ban and the rationale behind it. Two primary explanations emerged around the ban: one from a bureaucratic perspective citing risk management, and the other from skateboarders seeing it as a regulation of their counterculture.
