Could the chemicals in your furniture or food packaging be reshaping our oceans? 🌊
My latest story for @eos.org explores new research showing that industrial pollutants are now widespread across the globe, even in coral reefs once considered pristine.
Take a look! 🤿 🪸

etting aside methodological biases (extraction and ionization efficiencies) the extent of anthropogenic contribution surprised us.
We hope this work provides new insights into how human activity can shape the global DOM pool and identifies targets for future studies to absolutely quantify and assess the cumulative effects of xenobiotics on ecosystem health and planetary processes.
Our new paper on the presence of xenobiotics in marine dissolved organic matter just come out. Thanks to Jarmo Kalinski and our awesome collaborators, we were able to reanalyze more than 20 public LC-MS/MS datasets from seawater and ask how many anthropogenic compounds we can detect. rdcu.be/e8q6C
