Assessing the source of oil deposited in the surface sediment of Mormugao Port, Goa - A case study of MV Qing incident
Suneel, V.; Saha, M.; Rathore, C.; Sequeira, J.; Mohan, P.M.N.; Ray, D.; Veerasingam, S.; Rao, V.T.; Vethamony, P. (2019)In June 2016, a cruise vessel was grounded in the Mormugao Port, resulting in unnoticed oil spill. The surface water and sediment samples were collected from the vicinity of the ship, and also an oil sample from the ship ... -
Assessment of micro and macroplastics along the west coast of India: Abundance, distribution, polymer type and toxicity
Maharana, D.; Saha, M.; Dar, J.Y.; Rathore, C.; Sreepada, R.A.; Xu, X.-R.; Koongolla, J.B.; Li, H.-X. (2020)Considering the magnitude of pollution caused by marine plastics, the present study assessed their abundance, distribution, surface morphology and polymer type in ten sandy beaches spread across three states (Maharashtra, ... -
Degradation of tarballs using associated bacterial consortia
Shinde, V.L.; Suneel, V.; Rathore, C.; Shenoy, B.D. (Springer, 2020)Tarballs are semi-solid blobs of crude-oil formed in marine environment. Microbial degradation of tarballs is poorly understood, though there are indications that tarball-associated microbes can degrade recalcitrant ... -
Microplastics in seafood as an emerging threat to marine environment: A case study in Goa, West coast of India
Saha, M.; Naik, Akshata; Desai, Aniket; Nanajkar, M.; Rathore, C.; Kumar, Manish; Gupta, Priyansha (Elsevier BV, 2021)The present study exhibits the occurrence of MPs in different matrices (water, sediment and biota) from the Sal estuary, Goa, situated on the central west coast of India. The average numbers of MPs in the water column and ... -
Seasonal variation and spatial distribution of microplastic pellets and their associated contaminants along the central east coast of India
Raju, M.P.; Veerasingam, S.; Suneel, V.; Saha, M.; Rathore, C.; Naik, Akshata; Suneetha, P.; Ramakrishna, S.S.V.S. (Springer, 2023)Microplastic pellets (MPPs) are one of the significant sources of plastic pollution on shorelines worldwide. In this study, for the first time, we have examined the occurrence of MPPs and their spatial and seasonal ... -
Spatial and seasonal variation of microplastics and possible sources in the estuarine system from central west coast of India
Gupta, Priyansha; Saha, M.; Rathore, C.; Suneel, V.; Ray, D.; Naik, Akshata; Unnikrishnan, K.; Dhivya, M.; Daga, K. (Elsevier, 2021)The versatile use of various synthetic polymers, including plastics, generates a large volume of non-degradable waste, which is eventually responsible for forming microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments. The present ... -
Standardization of micro-FTIR methods and applicability for the detection and identification of microplastics in environmental matrices
Rathore, C.; Saha, M.; Gupta, Priyansha; Kumar, Manish; Naik, Akshata; DeJoer, J. (Elsevier, 2023)The ubiquity of microplastics (MPs) in the various environment is of increasing concern. Although micro Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (μ-FTIR) represents an ideal method for the detection of MPs, this technique ...
