“…Such degradation is manifested in the rapid loss of biodiversity, which poses a significant threat to the ecosystem's products and services [1,2]. In South Korea, economic growth and prosperity have increased its coastal development and activity, resulting in extensive environmental damage and ecosystem degradation during the past half-century [3]. Hence, it is urgent to accurately evaluate the ecological quality of coastal ecosystems in South Korea.…”

With the growing global focus on marine environmental conservation and management, it is imperative to evaluate the ecological quality of marine ecosystems accurately. In this study, we employed seven biotic indices, namely the AZTI marine biotic index (AMBI), BENTIX, benthic opportunistic polychaetes amphipods index (BOPA), benthic pollution index (BPI), multivariate AZTI marine biotic index (M-AMBI), abundance biomass comparison (W-value), and Shannon diversity index (H’), to assess the benthic ecological quality in the intertidal zone of Cheonsu Bay, South Korea. Except for the H’ and W-value, the indices (AMBI, BENTIX, BOPA, BPI, and M-AMBI) suggest that the ecological quality at most stations in the intertidal zone of Cheonsu Bay was acceptable. Furthermore, the influx of a large amount of eutrophic freshwater has impacted the intertidal zone of Cheonsu Bay, but the applicability of the seven biotic indices requires further investigation.

“…The presence of high concentrations of crude oil toxicants such as heavy metals in aquatic habitats could negatively affect the community of aquatic species by their propensity to harm their reproduction and survival as well as provoke migration of aquatic species such as fish [7,8]. The possibility of the heavy metal toxicants accumulating in fish also exposes human consumers to these heavy metals' toxic effects [9,10,11].…”

Higher levels of heavy metals in aquatic environments are most likely influenced by crude oil spills which may induce significant risk of heavy metal toxicity in aquatic species and humans. This research evaluated the levels of heavy metals and other physicochemical parameters in the crude oil-impacted Santa-Barbara River and environs of Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Heavy metals and other physicochemical parameters were examined using standard methods. Heavy metal pollution status was then deduced with standard pollution indicators. The water and fish samples collected from crude oil-impacted Santa Barbara River were heavily and moderately contaminated with iron, respectively (Igeo index = 4.29 and 2.87 for water and fish, respectively) and highly polluted with examined heavy metals (PLI = 4.29 and 1.13 for water and fish, respectively). The water samples from hand-dug wells were moderately contaminated with iron (Igeo index = 2.87) with overall low pollution by heavy metals (PLI = 0.46), while fish sold in neighboring communities was moderately contaminated with iron (Igeo index = 2.98) with overall moderate pollution by heavy metals (PLI = 0.86). However, potential ecological risks mediated by examining heavy metals in all water and fish samples were generally low (RI < 40). The total dissolved solids, biochemical oxygen demand, nitrate and phosphate concentrations in all water samples were within permissible limits of WHO and FEPA. The ecological risks associated with water and fish from all sampling locations were deduced as low, mainly because iron was the most abundant heavy metal contaminant with no significant toxic response.

“…Currently, oil spills are of great concern because they cause serious damage to the environment and threaten human health. , Several methods have been reported to remove the spilled oils from the ocean, including in situ combustion, chemical treatment, bioremediation with microorganisms or biological agents, , and mechanical treatment with oil–water gelators or sorbents . Mechanical treatment using sorbents has been recognized as a preferable method over others since it can remove and recover the spilled oils with efficiency, ease, and low cost. − Therefore, the development and application of oil sorbents have received considerable attention and represented a current challenging task.…”

Polystyrene Macroporous Magnetic Nanocomposites Synthesized through Deep Eutectic Solvent-in-Oil High Internal Phase Emulsions and Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles for Oil Sorption

In this work, we report a nonaqueous one-step method to synthesize polystyrene macroporous magnetic nanocomposites through high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) formulated with the deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of urea:choline chloride (U:ChCl, in a 2:1 molar ratio) as the internal phase and co-stabilized with mixtures of Span 60 surfactant and non-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 NPs). The porous structure and the magnetic and lipophilic properties of the nanocomposite materials were easily tailored by varying the amount of Fe 3 O 4 NPs (0, 2, 5 and 10 wt %) and the surfactant Span 60 (0, 5, 10, and 20 wt %) used in the precursor emulsion. The resultant nanocomposite polyHIPEs exhibit high sorption capacity toward different oils (hexane, gasoline, and vegetable oil) due to their high porosity, interconnectivity, and hydrophobic surface. It was observed that the oil sorption capacity was improved when the amount of surfactant decreased and Fe 3 O 4 NPs increased in HIPE formulation. Therefore, polyHIPE formulated with 5 and 10 wt % Span 60 and Fe 3 O 4 NPs, respectively, showed the highest oil sorption capacities of 4.151, 3.556, and 3.266 g g –1 for gasoline, hexane, and vegetable oil, respectively. In addition, the magnetic monoliths were reused for more than ten sorption/desorption cycles without losing their oil sorption capacity.
