Biodegradation of toxic and environmental pollutants
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1991Organic chemicals that are toxic to humans and to the environment can be transformed and metabolized by a variety of microorganisms. Such chemicals include trichloroethylene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, phenols, chlorinated phenols, polychlorinated biphenyls and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. This review focuses on some of the most important

Fabrication of Environmentally Biodegradable Lignin Nanoparticles
ChemPhysChem, 2012AbstractWe developed a method for the fabrication of novel biodegradable nanoparticles (NPs) from lignin which are apparently non‐toxic for microalgae and yeast. We compare two alternative methods for the synthesis of lignin NPs which result in particles of very different stability upon change of pH.

Biodegradable polymers and environmental interaction
Polymer Engineering & Science, 1998AbstractBiodegradable polymers are by definition those that degrade as a result of the action of microorganisms and/or enzymes. The rate of this biodegradation may vary from hours to years depending on the molecular architecture of the polymer in question.

Environmental Impacts of Biobased/Biodegradable Packaging
Starch - Stärke, 2001The potential global and regional as well as the local environmental effects of the biological treatment of biodegradable polymeric materials are described in this paper. The global effects could be summarised as a decreasing contribution of methane release into the atmosphere by controlled biological treatment of waste and in a reduction of pollution ...

Biodegradation of chemicals in a standardized test and in environmental conditions [PDF]
Chemosphere, 2003 The estimation of biodegradation rates is an important source of uncertainty in chemical risk assessment. The existing OECD tests for ready biodegradability have been developed to devise screening methods to determine whether a chemical is potentially easily biodegradable, rather than to predict the actual rate, of biodegradation in the environment ...

Biodegradation of Chemicals of Environmental Concern
Science, 1981Microorganisms in soils and waters convert many synthetic organic chemicals to inorganic products. Other compounds are transformed only by cometabolism. These microbial processes may lead to environmental detoxication, the formation of new toxicants, or the biosynthesis of persistent products.

Directions for environmentally biodegradable polymer research [PDF]
Accounts of Chemical Research, 1993 A major factor promoting interest in biodegradable polymers is the growing concern raised by the recalcitrance and unknown environmental fate of many of the currently used synthetic polymers. These polymers include both water-soluble and water-insoluble types.

Biodegradation of graphene materials is critical for understanding their environmental process and fate. Thus, biodegradation and mineralization of graphene oxide (GO) by an insect (yellow mealworms, Tenebrio molitor larvae) were investigated.
