ClearMultiple approach for assessing lagoon environmental status based on water bodies quality indices and microplastics accumulation
Researchers assessed lagoon environmental status using water quality indices and microplastic accumulation measurements, finding that combining these multiple approaches provides a more comprehensive evaluation of lagoon ecosystem health than single metrics alone.
Sampalok Lake Assessment and Monitoring Strategies Toward Sustainable Lake Ecosystems
Researchers investigated monitoring strategies for Sampalok Lake in the Philippines and identified emerging threats including microplastic contamination alongside gaps in knowledge and fragmented monitoring systems. The study recommends a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach combining scientific monitoring, community engagement, and real-time technology to protect lake ecosystem health.
Standardized Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Biological Index Method for Ecosystem Health Evaluation in Large Waters of Aquaculture Type
Researchers developed a standardized fuzzy comprehensive evaluation biological index method for assessing ecosystem health in large aquaculture-type water bodies, providing a more nuanced tool for monitoring river and lake ecosystem conditions under increasing human environmental pressure.
A Comprehensive Method for Water Environment Assessment considering Trends of Water Quality
Researchers developed a comprehensive water quality assessment method that accounts for both current pollution levels and trends over time, applying it to rivers feeding a major Chinese reservoir. Water quality assessment frameworks are increasingly being adapted to include microplastic contamination as a standard monitoring parameter.
Aquatic ecosystem indices, linking ecosystem health to human health risks
Researchers reviewed indicators used to assess aquatic ecosystem health and found that most existing tools don't adequately capture the risks that degraded water ecosystems pose to human health and well-being. They propose a new set of combined indicators — covering chemical contaminants, pathogens, and biological markers — to better link ecosystem health monitoring to human health outcomes.
Application of pressure–state–response approach for developing criteria and indicators of ecological health assessment of wetlands: a multi-temporal study in Ichhamati floodplains, India
Researchers developed and tested a comprehensive 105-indicator framework for assessing the ecological health of tropical floodplain wetlands in eastern India, applying it across seven sites over multiple years. The results showed that agriculture-dominated wetlands were the most degraded, while fishing-dominated wetlands fared better, offering a replicable tool for wetland management in similar regions.
Assessing land-use impacts on a 5th-order tropical river using multiple environmental indicators
Researchers combined multiple environmental indicators to assess the health of a tropical river system in Brazil affected by land-use change from agriculture and urbanization. Rivers in degraded landscapes also carry higher microplastic loads, and multi-indicator approaches provide a more complete picture of ecosystem health.
Impacto del turismo en la calidad del agua de una laguna del Valle del Mantaro
Researchers monitored the water quality of Nahuimpuquio Lagoon in Peru during both dry and rainy seasons, assessing how tourism and seasonal variation affect key water chemistry parameters. The study provides baseline data for a freshwater ecosystem under increasing human pressure from tourism and related activities.
Urban Water Quality Assessment Based on Remote Sensing Reflectance Optical Classification
Researchers developed an urban water quality assessment method combining remote sensing reflectance optical classification with traditional water quality grading principles, enabling spatially and temporally continuous monitoring of urban water bodies.
A Synthesis of Marine Monitoring Methods With the Potential to Enhance the Status Assessment of the Baltic Sea
This review synthesized monitoring methods applicable to the Baltic Sea to improve assessment of ecosystem health, covering chemical, biological, and emerging pollutant indicators including microplastics. Better and more coordinated monitoring is essential for tracking the effectiveness of conservation measures across this heavily polluted regional sea.
Three visions about surface water quality
Researchers examined surface water quality through three complementary lenses — water quality legislation, bioindicator organisms, and emerging pollutants including microplastics — in urban-influenced waterways where these approaches are rarely combined. The study demonstrated that integrating regulatory standards, biological indicators, and emerging contaminant monitoring provides a more comprehensive picture of freshwater quality than any single assessment framework alone.
A multidimensional approach for microplastics monitoring in two major tropical river basins, Malaysia
Researchers conducted a multidimensional assessment of microplastic distribution in surface waters of two major Malaysian river basins, providing much-needed field data on microplastic emissions from Asian rivers known to be major contributors to ocean pollution.
Monitoring biological water quality by volunteers complements professional assessments
Researchers found that volunteer-collected macroinvertebrate data from a Dutch citizen science program generated water quality assessments closely comparable to professional assessments, demonstrating that community monitoring can meaningfully complement conventional biological water quality monitoring.
Аналіз досвіду застосування біологічних систем для раннього запобігання забрудненню вод
This review analyzed international experience with biological early-warning systems for water pollution monitoring, evaluating how aquatic organisms are used as sentinel species to detect contamination from industrial, agricultural, and domestic sources before it reaches critical levels.
Integrated Analytical Approach: An Added Value in Environmental Diagnostics
Researchers demonstrated the value of an integrated multi-technique analytical approach for environmental diagnostics, showing through three marine case studies that combining multiple survey methods yields a more complete and accurate picture of anthropogenic environmental impacts than any single method alone.
Integrated Approaches to Water Quality Assessment and Treatment: A Comprehensive Review
This comprehensive review integrates physical, chemical, and biological water quality parameters, examines major pollution sources including emerging contaminants like microplastics, and surveys advances in real-time IoT-enabled monitoring and integrated treatment approaches.
