The mobility and fate of engineered nanoparticles in aquatic environments drive the exposure of biota.
BMW's i3 high-capacity batteries, which it uses in its i3 compact electric vehicle, has applications beyond BMW's own – case in point, the car maker is now supplying German boat propulsion system company Torqeedo with i3 batteries for its Deep Blue aquatic electric drive systems.
The baiji would be the first large aquatic mammal driven to extinction since hunting and overfishing killed off the Caribbean monk seal in the 1950s.
Public interest in aquatic environments helped drive a rapid expansion of aquariums.
Shelagh Fogarty was at the Aquatic Centre and Drive's Peter Allen and Aasmah Mir spoke to 2012 hopefuls from Trafalgar Square.
Biofilms represent the dominant microbial life in many aquatic systems and drive a number of important "ecosystem services" such as nutrient recycling, biodegradation and pollutant retention [1].
As a result, community-level factors such as biodiversity or abundance of aquatic organisms could drive the environmental load of MU through amplification or dilution effects, as demonstrated for other pathogens (Ezenwa et al., 2006; Suzán et al., 2009; Keesing et al., 2010; Johnson et al., 2013).
Changes in thermal conditions in aquatic systems are driven by on-going human-induced climate change, hydrological, regional and structural factors.
The potential impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the aquatic environment has driven the development of screening assays to evaluate the estrogenic properties of chemicals and their effects on aquatic organisms such as fish.
Bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is driven primarily by properties related to KOW[22].
