Assessment of SnO2 nanoparticles' impact on the growth of Picochlorum maculatum algae
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2022 , Article)
To determine the effect of SnO2 nanoparticles on Picochlorum maculatum - isolated from a Qatar marine environment, algal growth media are amended with different nanoparticle concentrations (1, 5, 25, 50, and 100 mg L−1) ...
Degradation-fragmentation of marine plastic waste and their environmental implications: A critical review
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article Review)
This review critically evaluates the plastic accumulation challenges and their environmental (primarily) and human (secondarily) impacts. It also emphasizes on their degradation and fragmentation phenomena under marine ...
Insights into the degradation mechanism of PET and PP under marine conditions using FTIR
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ...
