Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) induces behavioural, reproductive and developmental toxicological impacts in Caenorhabditis elegans at concentrations relevant to the contaminated areas

tailieu.vn

Consequently, PFOA has been found in various environmental matrices, including soil, wa- ter, flora, fauna, and humans ( Arias et al., 2015 . Hansen et al., 2001. Filipovic et al., 2015. Lin et al., 2009 . Guo et al., 2010. Lin et al., 2010. Kunacheva et al., 2012 . Zhang et al., 2015. 1400 sampling locations across the world revealed...

Complex environmental contaminant mixtures and their associations with thyroid hormones using supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques

tailieu.vn

There are a variety of xenobiotic compounds that may affect the endocrine system, and it is well established that environmental con- taminants such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), toxic metals, and metalloids play a role in altering the endocrine milieu in humans ( Alvarez-Pedrerol et al., 2008 . Blanco-Muñoz et al., 2016 . Jacobson et al., 2017 . nervous system...

Molten salt synthesis of gadolinium boride nanocrystals suitable for methyl blue removal

tailieu.vn

Methylene blue (MB) is known as a cationic dye that has a wide in- dustrial application in the development of pharmaceuticals, plastics and cosmetics ( Rafatullah et al., 2010. Its chemically sta- ble character also makes it difficult to decompose, which could eventu- ally threaten the health of humans upon bioaccumulation ( Zhang et al., 2019. There have been numerous...

Precipitation as the main mechanism for Cd(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal from aqueous solutions using natural and activated forms of red mud

tailieu.vn

Brazil benefited more than 35 megatons of bauxite via the Bayer Process®, generating a residue known as bauxite residue or red mud – RM ( Hind et al., 1999. According to Fortes et al. The Brazil- ian RM can be considered a hazardous material due to presence of different oxides and toxic trace elements mixed in a highly alkaline matrix...

Lead geochemistry of sediments in Galveston Bay, Texas

tailieu.vn

Here, sediments from Galveston Bay were measured for Pb isotope ratios and abundances to constrain Pb sources and fluxes and understand Pb pollution history in the bay. Total Pb concentrations ranged from 1.76 μg/g–29.19 μg/g in bulk digests, which are below federal toxicity thresholds and aligns well with prior measurements of Pb in Galveston Bay sediments in the 20 th...

A novel bio-physical approach for perchlorate contaminated well water treatment

tailieu.vn

JQ807993) removed ~97% of the ClO 4 ¯ using acetate as substrate (acetate/ClO 4 ¯ ratio = 4). Isobe et al., 2013 . The presence of ClO 4 ¯ has been reported in soil, water, and many human consumption products ( Calderón et al., 2020 . Liao et al., 2020. Perchlorate contamination of groundwater was reported from many countries including...

Impact of green roof plant species on domestic wastewater treatment

tailieu.vn

Green roof. Green roofs irrigated with domestic wastewater solves not only their irrigation water resource but also the urban wastewater treatment. However, it is unknown whether the capacity of green roofs in pollutant removal meets the requirement of domestic wastewater treatment. This study was to investigate the capacity of pollutant removal by the green roofs with C4, C3, and CAM...

Salt marsh sediments act as sinks for microplastics and reveal effects of current and historical land use changes

tailieu.vn

Of the 275 million metric tons of plastic waste globally generated in 2010 alone, about 5 to 13 million metric tons entered the ocean ( Jambeck et al., 2015. Plastic pollution has now become a global concern as plastic debris have reached all of the world’s oceans with ad- verse effects on marine organisms and biodiversity as well as on...

Envisioning an international validation process for New Approach Methodologies in chemical hazard and risk assessment

and 2) the improvement of knowledge about new test methods among members of the regulatory community. Making greater use of NAMs in chemical risk assessment promises to overcome several of the current limitations associated with conven- tional toxicity testing ( Basu et al. Basu et al. Bradbury et al. Kavlock et al. Pain et al. These policy efforts resulted in...

Biostimulant and biopesticide potential of microalgae growing in piggery wastewater

tailieu.vn

Except for Synechocystis sp., all the microalgae tested inhibited the fungus growth, with T. The ever-growing population has put an extreme pressure on agricul- ture to produce more food ( Searchinger et al., 2019. García et al., 2017. The use of wastewater allows the re- duction of microalgae biomass production below 5 € /kg at large scale (Acién et al....

Photodegradation of Reactive Black 5 and raw textile wastewater by heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction using amino-Fe3O4-functionalized graphene oxide as nanocatalyst

tailieu.vn

Chu model the most representative of the experimental data with R 2 ≥ 0.95. AmGO employment in the photodegradation of RB5 exhibited 75 % removal efficiency in less than 2h for the initial dye concentration of 100 mg ∙L − 1 . cal effect, textile dyes are visible to the naked eye, causing the de- pletion of dissolved oxygen and...

Life cycle analysis approach to comparing environmental impacts of alternative materials used in the construction of small wastewater treatment plants

Zayed et al., 2011 . Battacharya et al., 2020. Cha et al., 2017. India is recognised as a priority country for improved coverage of sanitation, accounting for much of the world’s deficit in sanitation ( Coffey et al., 2015 . Nandi et al., 2017. Exum et al., 2020 . Coverage in urban areas remains divided by social-economic factors ( Cha...

The application of tape lifting for microplastic pollution monitoring

tailieu.vn

The analysis frequently focusses solely on one technique and rarely facilitates the full characterisation of the MPs.. Tape lifting offers significant time saving in the field, allowing more samples to be taken. A significant number of the MP studies conducted thus far have involved the isolation of MPs from water in which they are suspended. There are several methods available...

Metal-free polymeric carbon nitride photocatalytic bactericide: Precursor-controlled killing activity of E. coli

tailieu.vn

With continuous development of society, the amount of sewage dis- charge continues to increase ( Patel, et al., 2019. Wang et al., 2019 ) Guo, et al., 2020. Pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Lis- teria, and Staphylococcus aureus, are very common pollutants in sewage ( He, et al., 2021 . Zhao, et al., 2019. Because of their biological charac- teristics...

Intercropping and mulching in rain-dependent cotton can improve soil structure and reduce erosion

tailieu.vn

Growing a cover crop between the cotton rows and retaining its residues in situ can reduce erosion and runoff, and improve soil productivity. Digital image analysis of the micrographs obtained by a scanning electron microscope indicated porosities were highest with intercropping (53–58%) and the least with the FP and plastic mulching (35–36. Infiltration rate was in the order of intercropping...

Effects of larval exposure to the fungicide pyraclostrobin on the post-embryonic development of Africanized Apis mellifera workers

tailieu.vn

Thus, the objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of the exposure to pyraclostrobin in the larval phase and verify the late effects in newly emerged bees. We also evaluated cell death and chitin marking of the peritrophic matrix in the intestine of larvae and newly emerged bees. No adverse effects were observed on the post-embryonic development of...
