Investigating the possibility of using subcritical water for extracting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from soils of the dry-steppe zone

open access: yesEurasian Journal of Soil Science
In the course of the model experiment, extraction conditions of 16 priority PAHs in subcritical water medium were selected for soils of the chestnut-solonetz complex. For low molecular weight 2-ringed naphthalene and 3-ringed acenaphthene, acenaphthylene,

New direct contact approach to evaluate soil genotoxicity using the Vicia faba micronucleus test. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A method to assess micronucleus (MN) induction in Vicia faba roots by direct contact exposure to a solid matrix was developed. The procedure comprised a 5-d germination period, as in the well-known method using aqueous extracts.

Volatile and semivolatile compounds from the pyrolysis and combustion of viscoelastic memory foam [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Viscoelastic memory foam (VMF) is a polyurethane-based foam with additional chemicals to obtain a material showing both viscous and elastic behavior at the same time. This type of foam presents the ability to distribute the weight over all surface, being
