Antifoulants such as copper pyrithione (CuPT) and zinc pyrithione (ZnPT) are widespread and hazardous pollutants in aquatic environments. The presence of microplastics (MPs) introduces significant uncertainty regarding the toxicity of CuPT and ZnPT, as their effects can be influenced by MPs. There is a limited understanding of the toxic potential o...
Article
To determine the effect of copper pyrithione (CuPT) and zinc pyrithione (ZnPT), a set of acute (96 h-LC50) and chronic endpoints was studied in the marine mysid, Neomysis awatschensis. Based on the 1/10 NOECs and NOEC values calculated from 96 h-toxicity test, survival and growth, intermolt duration, feeding, and the number of newborn juveniles wer...

We investigated the changes in a contaminated bay sediment when some oxygen releasing compounds (ORC) were put in it: it was found that the ORCs such as MgO 2 , CaO 2 , and Mg (OH) 2 were good at suppression of H 2 S and removal of phosphorus by changing the neutral pH into weak alkaline pH. In particular, performance of CaO 2 was the best of all p...
