Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging contaminant ubiquitous in the environment. There is growing concern regarding potential human health effects. A major human exposure route is hypothesised to be the dietary pathway via ingestion of contaminated foo...

Water pollution from emerging contaminants is increasingly in the spotlight, as research on the impacts on the environment is revealing more about the dangers to both animals in the aquatic environment and human health. Pharmaceuticals, personal care... Read More about Sporopollenin : applications in water purification.

The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2019)
Thesis
Chapman, E. C. (2019). The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222565

Exposure to regular environmental oscillations such as day/night have allowed organisms to evolve biological mechanisms to adaptively anticipate and prepare for rhythmic environmental change. A network of gene-protein interactions between clock genes... Read More about The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis.

An investigation of the uptake of estradiol in the bivalve Mytilus spp. corresponding biological implications and the effect of the addition of Sporopollenin on bioavailability (2019)
Thesis

There has been concern over the past two decades over estrogenic hormones such as 17 α-ethinylestradiol and 17 β-estradiol (E2) in fresh water and marine ecosystems and the risk to aquatic organisms even with low exposure levels. This study is to acc...

Molecular level biological effects of silver and titania nanoparticles on zebrafish embryos (2016)
Thesis
Arabeyyat, Z. H. (2016). Molecular level biological effects of silver and titania nanoparticles on zebrafish embryos. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219562

Nanotechnology raises issues concerning the toxic impact of nanoparticles (NPs) in organisms and the environment. Nanoparticles have been defined as materials with dimensions that are equal to or less than 100 nm. It is important to develop early war...

Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii (2015)
Thesis
Wäge, J. (2015). Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221415

Global changes lead to a measurable reduction of ocean pH. These rapid water chemistry changes are expected to have negative effects on ecosystems and keystone sensitive species. It is predicted that many different physiological processes will be alt... Read More about Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii.
