Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Interspecific Differences in the Effects on Embryos Between Freshwater and Marine Fish Exposed to Water‐Accommodated Fractions Derived From Very‐Low Sulfur Fuel Oil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Low-temperature formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Titan’s atmosphere [PDF]

, 2018
The detection of benzene in Titan’s atmosphere led to the emergence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as potential nucleation agents triggering the growth of Titan’s orange-brownish haze layers. However, the fundamental mechanisms leading to the

Investigation of Potential Risks in Bio‐Based Food Contact Materials (FCMs) From Microbial Exploitation of Agricultural Wastes: Case Studies of Bacterial Cellulose and Nisin

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
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

Use of Computational Models to Investigate Human Targets of Small Ubiquitous Molecules

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Chemoinformatics and atomistic modeling were combined to identify protein targets of environmentally and occupationally relevant chemical compounds. A public database linking chemicals, genes, phenotypes, and diseases was used for validation. The study highlights the potential and limitations of these fast, low‐cost computational approaches for early ...

Waste tyres pyrolysis oil (WTPO) as an alternative source of fuel and chemicals: a review

Zaštita Materijala
Waste tyres are dumped and common kind of abandon solid waste. Almost 3 billion tyres are produced each year and each tyre produced will eventually join the waste products and if not properly handled will become pollutant.
