Microplastic analysis of materials found in our environment has become a priority to understand their potential impacts on human health. Most characterisation techniques face many challenges due to the nature of the microplastic samples. This article outlines the need for more research into microplastics and how Raman microscopy offers unique advantages for microplastic analysis and identifying ...
However, large areas of the ocean still remain under-sampled -- leaving gaps in our knowledge. A team led by the University of Exeter says animals carrying sensors can fill many of these gaps through natural behaviour such as diving under ice, swimming in shallow water or moving against currents. ...
The Problem: Oil may spill out in the process of oil exploration & development, refining, storage and transportation and enter into open water environment like oceanic environment due to incident or incorrect operation. Oil spill damages include to human heath, safety, ecological environment, aquaculture. In China, the State Oceanic Administration requires the oil content in the discharge to ...
