By monitoring dissolved zinc in the Deûle river, Baghdad Ouddane from the University of Lille et al., uncovered rapid concentration changes in a short period of time, indicating the need to better characterize the dynamic behaviour of trace metals in the aquatic environments
and to revise water quality assessments.

Tatiana Dillenburg Saint’Pierre, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, and colleagues investigate trace aerosols in the tropics, which have so far been poorly studied, increasing our understanding of the long range transport, composition and solubility of airborne particulates in this region.
