Antibiotic resistance genes as an emerging environmental contaminant
Environmental Reviews - Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 205-218 - 2016
Emerging contaminants, including pharmaceutical and personal care products, are
receiving considerable attention owing to their potential to negatively impact
the environment and to pose risks to human health. The widespread use of
antibiotics and their fate and transport in the environment pose further risks
with respect to public health and the development of antibiotic resistant
organisms (AROs...
The social, economic, and environmental importance of inland fish and fisheries
Environmental Reviews - Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 115-121 - 2016
Though reported capture fisheries are dominated by marine production, inland
fish and fisheries make substantial contributions to meeting the challenges
faced by individuals, society, and the environment in a changing global
landscape. Inland capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute over 40% to the
world’s reported finfish production from less than 0.01% of the total volume of
water on earth. ...
Effect of N deposition on decomposition of plant litter and soil organic matter in forest systems
Environmental Reviews - Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 1-25 - 1997
The effects of nitrogen (N) deposition on plant litter and soil organic matter
decomposition differ depending on the stage of decomposition (early, late, and
final stages). The effects can be divided further into direct and indirect ones.
Direct effects: additions of ammonium and nitrate to fresh, newly shed litter
stimulate the initial decomposition of celluloses and solubles. By contrast,
additi...
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change
Environmental Reviews - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 119-141 - 2021
Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose
burgeoning challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional
economies, and human health. Current biosecurity efforts are failing to keep
pace with globalization, revealing critical gaps in our understanding and
response to invasions. Here, we identify four priority areas to advance invasion
science in the fa...
Essentiality of nickel and homeostatic mechanisms for its regulation in terrestrial organisms
Environmental Reviews - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 209-261 - 2002
Nickel (Ni) is a naturally occurring element with many industrial uses,
including in stainless steel, electroplating, pigments, and ceramics.
Consequently, Ni may enter the environment from anthropogenic sources, resulting
in locally elevated concentrations in soils. However, Ni is a minor essential
element, and, therefore, biota have established systems that maintain Ni
homeostasis. This paper di...
An evaluation of the ecological hazards associated with cadmium in the Canadian environment
Environmental Reviews - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 91-107 - 1994
This review was conducted to evaluate the potential hazards associated with
releases of cadmium (Cd) into the Canadian environment. The hazard assessment
consists of three elements: a focused review of the available data on the
toxicology of Cd in various environmental media, a review of the available
information on the concentrations of Cd in the Canadian environment, and a
comparison of these da...
Climate change vulnerability and adaptation in the managed Canadian boreal forest
Environmental Reviews - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 256-285 - 2014
Climate change is affecting Canada’s boreal zone, which includes most of the
country’s managed forests. The impacts of climate change in this zone are
expected to be pervasive and will require adaptation of Canada’s forest
management system. This paper reviews potential climate change adaptation
actions and strategies for the forest management system, considering current and
projected climate chan...
Anaerobic digestion from the viewpoint of microbiological, chemical, and operational aspects — a review
Environmental Reviews - Tập 18 Số NA - Trang 255-278 - 2010
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is intrinsically a sequential complex chemical and
biochemical process, and many factors (microbiological, operational, and
chemical) can affect its performance. The great complexity of AD may lead to
many serious problems (such as instability, long retention times, low
efficiency, and high polluted supernatant) that prevent this technique from
being widely used and commer...
A review of bioconcentration factor (BCF) and bioaccumulation factor (BAF) assessments for organic chemicals in aquatic organisms
Environmental Reviews - Tập 14 Số 4 - Trang 257-297 - 2006
Bioaccumulation assessment is important in the scientific evaluation of risks
that chemicals may pose to humans and the environment and is a current focus of
regulatory effort. The status of bioaccumulation evaluations for organic
chemicals in aquatic systems is reviewed to reduce uncertainty in
bioaccumulation measurement, to provide quality data for assessment, and to
assist in model development...
Phosphate adsorption on metal oxides and metal hydroxides: A comparative review
Environmental Reviews - Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 319-332 - 2016
Phosphorus removal from wastewater is important for eutrophication control of
water bodies. Metal oxides and metal hydroxides have always been developed and
investigated for phosphorus removal, because of their abundance, low cost,
environmental friendliness, and chemically stability. This paper presents a
comparative review of the literature on the preparation methods, adsorption
behaviors, adsor...
