Detection and assessment of marine litter in an uninhabited island, Arabian Gulf: A case study with conventional and machine learning approaches
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)In 2018, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, Qatar removed 90 t of marine litter (ML) from the Ras Rakan Island (RRI), a remote uninhabited island in the Arabian Gulf (hereinafter referred to as Gulf). To identify ... -
Editorial: Challenges in characterizing nano- to macro-plastics and adhered substances in the aquatic environment
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Globally, plastic contamination is one of the serious planetary threats, affecting almost all environmental matrices such as air, water, soil, sediment, and biota (including humans). It is estimated that ∼19 to 23 million ... -
Microplastics in different environmental compartments in India: Analytical methods, distribution, associated contaminants and research needs
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)This study aims at reviewing the scientific literature related to microplastic (MP) pollution in various environmental matrices in India and highlighting the research gaps for future research priorities. Currently used ... -
Molluscan diversity influenced by mangrove habitat in the khors of Qatar
( Springer , 2021 , Article)The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar is a rapidly developing region within the Arabian Gulf, where monitoring of changes in benthic biodiversity and its functioning is needed. The influence of mangroves and seasonality ... -
PAHs and hopanes in the surface sediments of Qatar coast and their ecological risks: Comparison with regional and global coastal regions
( Elsevier Ltd , 2024 , Article)The distribution, characteristics, sources and ecological risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and hopanes in the surface sediments collected along the Qatar coast were investigated. Concentration of ∑14PAHs ... -
Recent developments in analytical methods for the assessment of microplastic contamination in the groundwater
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Groundwater is the most important source of available freshwater used by more than 2 billion people around the world. Microplastics (MPs) is one of the emerging contaminants in the groundwater. There are several studies ... -
Seasonal variation, polymer hazard risk and controlling factors of microplastics in beach sediments along the southeast coast of India
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Microplastics (MPs) and its associated organic and inorganic contaminants are one among the significant health hazards to almost all biota, including human. We investigated the polymer hazard risk and its adsorbed contaminants ...
