ABSTRACT This study evaluated the toxic effects of water‐accommodated fractions (WAFs) of very‐low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) on freshwater and marine fish embryos. Embryos of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), Java medaka (Oryzias javanicus), and grass puffer (Takifugu alboplumbeus) were exposed to various concentrations of VLSFO‐WAF, and the effects on ...

ABSTRACT This study investigated the prevalence of electronic smoking device (ESD) use and its associated behavioural and chemical risks among university students in Bahia, Brazil. A cross‐sectional survey was conducted with 355 students from public and private institutions through an online questionnaire between April and May 2023. Among participants,

ABSTRACT Atmospheric deposition of organic pollutants plays a crucial role in the transport and fate of contaminants in the environment, with implications for ecosystem health and human exposure. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and microplastics are increasingly recognized as transboundary threats due to ...

Differential Drivers of Thermogenic and Bulk Dissolved Organic Matter in the Indian Ocean
Abstract The oceanic dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool contains a substantial fraction of recalcitrant carbon, with thermogenic organic compounds representing a chemically distinct, long‐lived component. However, the distribution and transformation of these compounds remain poorly constrained in the Indian Ocean, a key basin of the global overturning

ABSTRACT In the context of the circular economy and the increasing demand for safe and sustainable packaging, this work addresses the safety assessment of food contact materials (FCMs) derived from agro‐industrial by‐products. Despite growing interest in these bio‐based materials, the literature still lacks a structured safety‐assessment framework able

Mixture of organic pollutants is associated with cognitive aging
Abstract INTRODUCTION Environmental organic pollutants impact brain function and cognitive aging, but the effect of real‐world complex mixtures of these pollutants is unexplored. METHODS Using data collected at two time points from 170 cognitively normal adults, we used hierarchical Bayesian kernel machine regression to examine the association between ...

Utilizing the 3‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)propyl (DMP) ligand, the new liquid Ge(IV) precursor [Ge(DMP)4] has been developed, which possesses adequate volatility, reactivity, and exceptional thermal stability. This precursor is capable of low‐temperature processing of GeO2 and GeOx with tunable film composition and sub‐nm thickness control in a range from 40 ...

Modelling and simulation of hydrogen production via natural gas plasma pyrolysis
Methane pyrolysis simulation model. Abstract Plasma pyrolysis is a cutting‐edge technology that produces hydrogen and solid carbon from methane without emitting carbon dioxide. In this study, we developed a process simulation model in Aspen HYSYS to analyze the behaviour of this technology at the commercial scale.
