Odor contribution evaluation of six species of microalgae and corresponding odorants to whole fishy odor in drinking water source.

Disgusting fishy odor could break out inside oligotrophic drinking waterbody in winter with low temperature. In preceding study, six species of fishy odor-producing microalgae and totally twenty fishy odorants were identified in drinking water source of Tongyu River, however, contributions of odorants and microalgae to whole fishy odor were unclear. In this study, odor contribution of microalgae and corresponding odorant to whole fishy odor was evaluated comprehensively.

Abundance, characteristics and ecological risks of microplastics from South Yellow Sea Mudflat.

Microplastic (MP) pollution in global marine environments has been extensively reported and attracted significant concerns, but MP distribution in mudflat has rarely been studied. In this paper, the abundance, features and ecological risk of MP in South Yellow Sea Mudflat were investigated comprehensively. MP were both detected in waters (5.

Identification of odor-causing compounds in six species of odor-producing microalgae separated from drinking water source with distinct fishy odor: Insight into microalgae growth and odor characteristics.

Fishy odor, as an offensive and unpleasant odor, could occur in drinking water source with poor nutrition, it is usually considered to be associated with odor-producing microalgae. However, the specific relations among fishy odor, fishy odorants and responsible microalgae were not elucidated comprehensively. In this paper, the odor-causing compounds generated from six microalgae with fishy odor characteristic, isolated in drinking water source Tongyu River, were identified simultaneously.
