A new bioassay for the inspection and identification of TBT-containing antifouling paint.

7 Oct 2009 Since the 1960s tributyl (TBT)-based antifouling paints are widely applied to protect ship's hulls from biofouling. Due to its high toxicity to aquatic ecosystem most of the countries (28 nations in 2008) signed the AFS convention to control the use ... Read more...

Chemical tracers of particulate emissions from commercial shipping.

29 Sep 2009 Despite the increase of commercial shipping around the world, data are yet relatively scarce on the contribution of these emissions to ambient air particulates. One of the reasons is the complexity in the detection and estimation of shipping ... Read more...

Stance width and angle at sea: effects of sea state and body orientation.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: On land, the distance and angle between the feet in side-by-side stance tend to have characteristic values. Ship motion mandates changes in the control of stance, but there have been no direct assessments of how stance width and angle ... Read more...
