“…This result in a significant increase in the growth of vascular plants, the occurrence of blooming phenomenon, and a severe decrease in the concentration of dissolved oxygen in aquatic systems, which affects the water environment ( Palaniappan et al, 2012 , Bhagowati and Ahamad, 2018 ). The effects of anthropogenic activities on the marine conditions of shorelines have been investigated in some Jeddah sites ( Badr et al, 2009 , Abu-Zied et al, 2013 , Abu-Zied et al, 2016 , Al-Mur et al, 2017 , Al-Mur, 2019a , Al-Mur, 2019b ). The main objectives of this study are to monitor and assess physical and chemical characteristics as well as trace elements contamination and eutrophication status of seawater along the Red Sea coast at Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia.…”

In this study, eighteen sites at Jeddah coastal area, Red Sea, have been assessed for water quality status, depending on nutrients, metals, Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and physical variables during 2018 and 2019. The investigated parameters of the Water Quality Index (WQI) are temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), DO saturation, oxidizable organic matter (OOM), suspended particulate matter (SPM), Chl-a, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, total nitrogen, reactive phosphate, total phosphorus, silicate, Zn, Fe, Mn Cu, Cd, Pb, and Ni. The results revealed that the pH values were slightly alkaline with a range of 7.85–8.20. The results of other parameters were as follow: salinity (36.95–42.61PSU), DO (5.22–6.67 mg/L), OOM (0.40–1.23 mg/L), SPM (12.39–21.5 mg/L), Chl-a (0.10–0.83 µg/L). The range of nutrients (μM) were 0.07–0.22, 0.45–1.47, 9.62–18.64, 23.31–57.65, 0.05–0.15, 0.55–2.78 and 2.54–5.51 for NH 4 /N, NO 2 /N, NO 3 /N, TN, PO 4 /P, TP and SiO 4 /Si, respectively. Cluster analysis was used to classify the stations studied. From the current study, five clusters were found, indicating the need to perform cluster analysis in the water quality assessment process to confirm the durability and consistency of the data discovered in the current application.

Biopolymers having biodegradable and biocompatible characteristics have been gained a great interest of scientists for using various applications in the field of advanced sciences exclusively with nanotechnology of separation and purification field. Different exciting applications have been found in the versatile field including energy production, wastewater treatment, sensor development, food packaging and broadly in the biomedical sciences. Biopolymer can be applied to increase the capabilities of other bio‐active molecules in a material. Now dyes, scientists are concentrated for preparing more environment friendly nanomaterials and increasing attention for immobilizing of contaminates and adoption by using green chemistry approaches. This review has been summarized the vital applications of biopolymer and highlighted with their owned advantages and limitations of numerous field by reported studies. The possible mechanistic insights of diverse applications of biopolymers were discussed. This review has been finds the efficiencies of biopolymers in the major field of sciences and were considered as the outstanding materials due to their exciting physic‐chemical properties and other characteristics include eco‐friendly nature, low cost, nontoxic, high adsorption capacity and reusability. This review could be considered as a precious pathway for exploring more low‐cost, environmental friendly hybrid materials for versatile applications including water decontamination, sensing of targeted elements and other biomedical purposes, eventually the review will contribute to environmental remediation and purification applications of biomaterials.

“…As a result, they have been labeled as ecotoxic, genotoxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic (Patel et al, 2020). In this regard, studies of soils and sediments in Brazil (Nascimento et al, 2017), Nigeria (Ehigbor et al, 2020), Saudi Arabia (Al‐Mur, 2019), China (Yu et al, 2015), and Italy (Vitali et al, 2019) have reported high concentrations of PAHs in coastal environments. Inputs of PAHs can cause high pollution or pose significant risk to the environment.…”

The Fundão dam failure in 2015 severely impaired the economy, the lives of riverine communities and the aquatic ecosystems of the Rio Doce basin in SE Brazil. Several contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were transported downstream, deposited on the estuary, and released into the Atlantic Ocean. The high concentration of PAHs in estuarine sediments may offer ecological risks and deleterious effects to benthic organisms, so here we aimed to determine the source and fate of these compounds before and after the tailing's arrival. The mean concentration of the analyzed Σ16PAHs increased from 34.05 µg kg‐1 in the pre‐failure period to 751.77 µg kg‐1 one year after the arrival of the tailing. The classification of the sediment quality changed from low to moderate contamination. Our results suggest that there was PAHs remobilization by mine tailings along the Rio Doce basin. The target analytes showed mostly a pyrolytic profile from fossil fuel and biomass burning. In addition to other contaminants deposited in the estuary after the arrival of the tailings, this study showed that the profile change of PAHs in the estuary region is a consequence of the mud's erosive power.
