Paint Particles In The Marine Environment: An Overlooked Component Of Microplastics, Andrew Turner Aug 2021

Paint Particles In The Marine Environment: An Overlooked Component Of Microplastics, Andrew Turner

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Because paint particles consist of a resin (polymer) combined with one or more additives, they bear compositional similarities with microplastics. Despite these shared characteristics, however, paint particles are oftenundetected, deliberately overlooked or evade classification in the pool of micro-debris (all synthetic debris of < 5mm in size), and in particular in the marine setting where an extensive body of microplastic literature exists.Accordingly, the present paper provides a critical insight into the physico-chemical properties, sources, distributions, behaviour and toxicity of paint particles in the marine environment.Paint particles contain a greater proportion of additives than plastics and, consequently, are more brittle,angular, opaque, dense, heterogeneous and layered than microplastics of equivalent dimensions. Land-basedsources of paint particles, including deteriorating or disturbed coatings on roads and building, are transportedto the ocean with other microplastics via urban runoff, water treatment facilities and the atmosphere. However,inputs of paint particles are enhanced significantly and more directly by the disturbance, erosion and weatheringof coatings on coastal structures, boats and ships. Estimates of paint particle emissions to the marine environmentvary widely, with calculated contributions to the total synthetic micro-debris input as high as 35%. Upper estimates are consistent with available (albeit limited) quantitative information on the relative abundance of paintparticles amongst synthetic material captured by sea surface trawls and ingested by marine animals. Of greatestenvironmental concern is the high chemical toxicity of paint particles compared with similarly-sized microplastics and other synthetic debris. This results from the contemporary and historical use of high concentrationsof hazardous inorganic additives in marine antifouling and land-based paints, and the relatively ready mobilisation of harmful ions, like Cu+/Cu2+, TBT+, Pb2+ and CrO42− , from the matrix. Recommendations arising fromthis review include greater use of particulate capturing devices, waste collection systems and recycling facilitiesduring paint disturbance, raising awareness of the potential impacts of discarded paint amongst users, andalerting the microplastic community to the significance of paint particles and developing means by which theyare isolated from environmental samples.

Soil resources in East Africa are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food, water and livelihood security in the region. Here we demonstrate how the integration of evidence from natural and social sciences has supported a community-led change in land management in an agro-pastoral community in northern Tanzania. Geospatial analysis of erosion risk and extent (based on a drone survey across a 3.6 km2 sub-catchment) revealed that recently converted land had ca 12-times greater rill density than established slow-forming terraced plots (987 ± 840 m2 ha−1 vs. 79 ± 110 m2 ha−1). Slope length …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Many regulations are beginning to explicitly require investigation of a chemical's endocrine-disrupting properties as a part of the safety assessment process for substances already on or about to be placed on the market. Different jurisdictions are applying distinct approaches. However, all share a common theme requiring testing for endocrine activity and adverse effects, typically involving in vitro and in vivo assays on selected endocrine pathways. For ecotoxicological evaluation, in vivo assays can be performed across various animal species, including mammals, amphibians, and fish. Results indicating activity (i.e., that a test substance may interact with the endocrine system) from in vivo …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Abstract. We report the distributions and stoichiometry of dissolved zinc (dZn) and cobalt (dCo) in sub-tropical and sub-Antarctic waters of the south-eastern Atlantic Ocean during austral spring 2010 and summer 2011/2012. In sub-tropical surface waters, mixed-layer dZn and dCo concentrations during early spring were 1.60 ± 2.58 nM and 30 ± 11 pM, respectively, compared with summer values of 0.14 ± 0.08 nM and 24 ± 6 pM. The elevated spring dZn concentrations resulted from an apparent offshore transport of elevated dZn at depths between 20–55 m, derived from the Agulhas Bank. In contrast, open-ocean sub-Antarctic surface waters displayed largely …

Temporal Variations In Landslide Distributions Following Extreme Events: Implications For Landslide Susceptibility Modeling, J. N. Jones, S. J. Boulton, G. L. Bennett, M. Stokes, M. R.Z. Whitworth Jul 2021

Temporal Variations In Landslide Distributions Following Extreme Events: Implications For Landslide Susceptibility Modeling, J. N. Jones, S. J. Boulton, G. L. Bennett, M. Stokes, M. R.Z. Whitworth

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Landslide susceptibility models are fundamental components of landslide risk management strategies. These models typically assume that landslide occurrence is time-independent, even though processes including earthquake preconditioning and landslide path dependency transiently impact landslide occurrence. Understanding the temporal characteristics of landslide occurrence remains limited by a lack of systematic investigation into how landslide distributions vary through time, and how this impacts landslide susceptibility. Here, we apply Kolmogorov-Smirnoff and chi-square statistics to a 30-yr inventory of monsoon-triggered landslides from Nepal to systematically quantify how landslide spatial distributions vary through time in “normal” years and years impacted by extreme events. We then develop …

Quantifying The Competing Influences Of Lithology And Throw Rate On Bedrock River Incision, E. Kent, A. C. Whittaker, S. J. Boulton, M. C. Alçiçek Jul 2021

Quantifying The Competing Influences Of Lithology And Throw Rate On Bedrock River Incision, E. Kent, A. C. Whittaker, S. J. Boulton, M. C. Alçiçek

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

AbstractRiver incision in upland areas is controlled by prevailing climatic and tectonic regimes, which are increasingly well described, and the nature of the bedrock lithology, which is still poorly constrained. Here, we calculated downstream variations in stream power and bedrock strength for six rivers crossing a normal fault in western Turkey, to derive new constraints on bedrock erodibility as function of rock type. These rivers were selected because they exhibit knick zones representing a transient response to an increase in throw rate, driven by fault linkage. Field measures of rock mass strength showed that the metamorphic units (gneisses and schists) …


Effects Of Vegetation, Sediment Supply And Sea Level Rise On The Morphodynamic Evolution Of Tidal Channels, A Sgarabotto, A D'Alpaos, S Lanzoni Jul 2021

Effects Of Vegetation, Sediment Supply And Sea Level Rise On The Morphodynamic Evolution Of Tidal Channels, A Sgarabotto, A D'Alpaos, S Lanzoni

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Tidal channels play a leading role in the morphodynamic evolution of tidal environments by driving the exchange of water, sediments, and nutrients within these systems. Despite their fundamental function on landscape construction, current knowledge on their plano‐altimetric evolution in response to environmental forcing is still limited. We developed a mathematical model to address the interplay of biogeomorphic processes on the plano‐altimetric equilibrium of a straight tidal channel flanked by adjacent intertidal platforms. The model couples a one‐dimensional hydrodynamic model with a bed evolution model. The former describes the flow field within the channel and the storage contribution of lateral shoals. …

Drivers, Impacts And Mitigation Of Increased Sedimentation In The Hydropower Reservoirs Of East Africa, Aloyce Amasi, Maarten Wynants, William Blake, Kelvin Mtei Jun 2021

Drivers, Impacts And Mitigation Of Increased Sedimentation In The Hydropower Reservoirs Of East Africa, Aloyce Amasi, Maarten Wynants, William Blake, Kelvin Mtei

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Hydropower reservoirs are essential for the climate-neutral development of East Africa. Hydropower production, however, is threatened by human activities that lead to a decrease in water storage capacity of reservoirs. Land use/land cover and climatic changes are driving accelerated soil erosion in semi-arid East Africa, which ultimately increases reservoir sedimentation and decreases energy production. Sediment delivery dynamics at the catchment scale are complex, involving the interaction of multiple factors and processes on different spatial and temporal scales. A lack of understanding of these processes and their interactions may impede the efficiency of sediment mitigation and control strategies. A deep understanding …


The Coral-Rich Devonian Limestones Of The English Riviera Unesco Global Geopark, Malcolm B. Hart, Christopher W. Smart Jun 2021

The Coral-Rich Devonian Limestones Of The English Riviera Unesco Global Geopark, Malcolm B. Hart, Christopher W. Smart

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

The coral-rich limestones of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark were an important component of the original definition of the Devonian System, introduced by Sedgwick and Murchison in 1840. They are, therefore, both a local highlight of the geological succession but have an important position within the history of geology. Formed in the tropical seas of the Middle Devonian, 10°S of the Equator, they also demonstrate the history of Devon in terms of Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics. Caves in these limestones provide an important record of both marine and terrestrial Pleistocene history, including some important hominin remains.


Trace Fossils In The Permian Rocks Of English Riviera Unesco Global Geopark, Malcolm B. Hart, Christopher W. Smart Jun 2021

Trace Fossils In The Permian Rocks Of English Riviera Unesco Global Geopark, Malcolm B. Hart, Christopher W. Smart

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

The Permian breccias, conglomerates and sandstones of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark were deposited in quite harsh, desert environments just north of the Permian Equator. Body fossil evidence is completely lacking but rare trace fossils provide evidence of a land-based community. There is a variety of traces present, probably indicative of the presence of a range of unknown animals. Though these animals cannot be identified, their occurrence is important in the understanding of the biodiversity of these Permian environments.

Editorial: Plastics In The Environment: Understanding Impacts And Identifying Solutions, Montserrat Filella, Andrew Turner, Hans Peter H. Arp

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Plastics are one of the most widely used materials in the world which society will always be dependent on. This dependency has been clearly highlighted by the requirements for hygiene and protection during the recent global COVID pandemic (Adyel, 2020; Prata et al., 2020). Plastics are broadly integrated into today’s lifestyle and are present in almost all consumer and industrial sectors and their production continues to increase (Geyer et al., 2017). Unfortunately, one of the characteristics of plastics that make them so useful—their durability—also ensures that they persist in the environment for very long periods of time. Additionally, and because …


Chemical And Biological Enhancement Effects Of Biochar On Wheat Growth And Yield Under Arid Field Conditions, Z Khan, Mhu Rahman, G Haider, R Amir, Et Al May 2021

Chemical And Biological Enhancement Effects Of Biochar On Wheat Growth And Yield Under Arid Field Conditions, Z Khan, Mhu Rahman, G Haider, R Amir, Et Al

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Nitrogen (N) losses are prevalent under South East Asia’s due to high N fertilizer inputs, but low N fertilizer use efficiency. This leaves a large quantity of reactive N at risk of loss to the environment. Biochar has been found to reduce N losses across a variety of soil types, however, there is limited data available for semi-arid climates, particularly at a field-scale. Herein we present an exploration of the biological and chemical enhancement effects observed of a cotton stalk-based biochar on wheat growth and yield under arid field conditions. The biochar was treated with urea-N and biofertilizer (bio-power) in …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

AbstractThe Jenkyns Event or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event was an episode of severe environmental perturbations reflected in carbon isotope and other geochemical anomalies. Although well studied in the epicontinental basins in NW Europe, its effects are less understood in open marine environments. Here we present new geochemical (carbon isotope, CaCO3, [Mn]) and nannofossil biostratigraphic data from the Tölgyhát and Kisgerecse sections in the Gerecse Hills (Hungary). These sections record pelagic carbonate sedimentation near the margin of the Tethys Ocean. A negative carbon isotope excursion of c. 6‰ is observed in the Tölgyhát section, in a condensed clay and black shale …

In the last decade, an awareness towards temporary rivers has increased globally in response to drying climates and growing human demand for water. However, social perceptions of temporary rivers have rarely been incorporated in their science and management. In this study, we advance an understanding of the socio-cultural values of temporary rivers principally in a European context. We used an ecosystem services-based approach for a participatory and deliberative exercise with 16 researchers and managers. Our results point out to two important aspects of socio-cultural values in temporary rivers. First, cultural ecosystem services have high socio-cultural values and usually represent the …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Although microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, little is known about their occurrence and behavior in the terrestrial setting. In this study, MPs have been isolated from soils collected from various geomorphological features (yardangs, sand dunes, moving sands, seasonal lakes) of the Kavir and Lut Deserts on the Iranian plateau. The number of MPs identified in 300 g samples ranged from zero (not detected) in several yardang tops to 25 on some yardang hillsides, with an overall average abundance of about 0.02 MP g–1. The majority of MPs were of a fibrous nature with a size distribution (≤100 μm to …

Fluorosurfactant Retention In The Foam Blanket During Gravitational Drainage Of An Aqueous Film-Forming Foam, Hk Schofield, Dp Megson, J Da Costa, Et Al

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

A model aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) comprising a fluorocarbon surfactant (6:2 FTSaB), hydrocarbon surfactant, solvent, and water was deployed on a heptane fire with the gravimetrically-drained foam solution collected at regular time intervals and analysed for surfactant concentration. Foam drainage behaviour within the model foam system was non-linear for both control (no fire exposure) and fire-exposed tests, as would be expected. However, the concentration of fluorosurfactant within the drainage solution was initially lower, increasing with time. This suggests that the fluorosurfactants are retained within the foam blanket for longer than other constituents of the model foam. This is proposed to …

The Architecture And Evolution Of Shallow Water Delta Mouth Bars: Examples From The Lower Cretaceous Of Spain, Matthew Watkinson, Grant Cole, Rhodri M. Jerrett

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Improved understanding of delta mouth bar morphodynamics, and the resulting stratigraphic architectures, is important for predicting the loci of deposition of different sediment fractions, coastal geomorphic change and heterogeneity in mouth bar reservoirs. Facies and architectural analysis of exceptionally well-exposed shallow water (ca. 5 m depth) mouth bars and associated distributaries, from the Xert Formation (Lower Cretaceous), of the Maestrat Basin (east-central Spain), reveal that they grew via a succession of repeated autogenic cycles. The formation is part of a mixed clastic-carbonate succession deposited during a time of active faulting and incipient salt tectonism, but in an area away from …
