    Structures found on meteorite fragment Allan Hills 84001. Nanobacterium (/ ˌ n æ n oʊ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i əm / NAN-oh-bak-TEER-ee-əm, pl. nanobacteria / ˌ n æ n oʊ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i ə / NAN-oh-bak-TEER-ee-ə) is the unit or member name of a former proposed class of living organisms, specifically cell-walled microorganisms, now discredited, with a size much smaller than the generally ...

  3. Light non-aqueous phase liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_non-aqueous_phase_liquid

    A light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) is a groundwater contaminant that is not soluble in water and has a lower density than water, in contrast to a DNAPL which has a higher density than water. Once a LNAPL pollution infiltrates the ground, it will stop at the depth of the water table because of its positive buoyancy. Efforts to locate and ...

  4. Non-aqueous phase liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aqueous_phase_liquid

    Non-aqueous phase liquids, or NAPLs, are organic liquid contaminants characterized by their relative immiscibility with water. Common examples of NAPLs are petroleum products, coal tars, chlorinated solvents, and pesticides. Strategies employed for their removal from the subsurface environment have expanded since the late-20th century. [1] [2]

  5. Water pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution

    A practical definition of water pollution is: "Water pollution is the addition of substances or energy forms that directly or indirectly alter the nature of the water body in such a manner that negatively affects its legitimate uses." [1]: 6 Water is typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic contaminants.

  6. Contaminants of emerging concern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminants_of_emerging...

    Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) is a term used by water quality professionals to describe pollutants that have been detected in environmental monitoring samples, that may cause ecological or human health impacts, and typically are not regulated under current environmental laws.

  7. Marine plastic pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_plastic_pollution

    Because plastic is so widely used across the planet, microplastics have become widespread in the marine environment. For example, microplastics can be found on sandy beaches [78] and surface waters [79] as well as in the water column and deep sea sediment. Microplastics are also found within the many other types of marine particles such as dead ...

  9. Pollution from nanomaterials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution_from_nanomaterials

    Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are nanoparticles that are made for use, are defined as materials with dimensions between 1 and 100nm, for example in cosmetics or pharmaceuticals like zinc oxide and TiO 2 as well as microplastics. [1] Incidental nanomaterials are found from sources such as cigarette smoke and building demolition. [2]
