: According to the One Health concept, wild birds can be indicators of ecosystem pollution and disease incidence. strains are widespread worldwide, but there are still few reports on the association of human infections with a potential reservoir of highly pathogenic human strains in wild birds. Fecal with uropathogenic potential (UPEC) can be transmitted between birds and humans and may be a risk factor for urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Review of Cadmium Bioaccumulation in Fish Exposed to Cadmium.

Toxics

December 2024

Department of Marine Life Science, Jeju National University, Jeju 63243, Republic of Korea.

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic substance in the aquatic ecosystem, which can represent a high risk to fish. Fish are exposed to heavy metals through waterborne and dietary pathways, some of which are absorbed by the body and can accumulate in specific tissues without being eliminated. The accumulation varies depending on several factors such as dose, exposure route, exposure time, metal types, and biological status of the fish, and environmental parameters such as DO, salinity, pH, and metal speciation.

Although the concept of bioaccumulation for novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) is clear, the process and interfering factors of bioaccumulation are still not fully understood. The present study comprehensively evaluated the occurrence, transfer and interfering factors of NBFRs in a marine food web to provide new thought and perspective for the bioaccumulation of these compounds. The occurrence of 17 NBFRs were determined from 8 water, 8 sediment and 303 organism samples collected from Dalian Bay, China.

January 2025

State Environmental Protection Key Laboratory of Marine Ecosystem Restoration, National Marine Environmental Monitoring Center, Dalian, 116023, China; College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, 266100, China. Electronic address:

Shipboard domestic sewage, encompassing both black water and gray water, has the potential to transport significant quantities of environmentally harmful microplastics, a concern that has garnered increasing global attention. In this study, Fourier infrared (FTIR) detection was used to detect microplastics in marine domestic wastewater. The primary objective was to evaluate the abundance and characteristics of microplastics present in ship domestic sewage, investigate potential sources and influencing factors, and assess the ecological risks associated with ship sewage through analyses of microplastic abundance and hazard indices.
