NSYSU research team is the first to prove the
presence of fossil-fuel PM1 in marine biota
PM1 from the anthropogenic activity does not only cause
worldwide air pollution but also enters the oceans as suspended
particulates. However, its subsequent impacts on marine biota
are poorly understood. The research team of Professor
Li-Lian Liu and Distinguished Chair Professor
Chen-Tung Arthur Chen of the Department of
Oceanography were the first scientists to prove
that in the wild environment, marine organisms
can incorporate and accumulate fossil-fuel
source PM1 and pass it on to their juveniles
by maternal transfer. This exceptional finding
was published in a top scientific journal
Environmental Science & Technology. It
shed new light on the transport of air-polluting
particulate matter in the marine environment.
