Biodegradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): A review.
Bioresource Technology, 2021Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of chemicals widely manufactured for industrial and commercial applications in the past decades due to their remarkable stability as well as hydrophobic and lipophobic nature.

All living creatures respond to external stimuli. Similarly, some polymers undergo conformational changes in response to changes in temperature, pH, magnetic field, electrical field, or the wavelength of light. In one type of stimuli-responsive polymer, thermogel polymers, the polymer aqueous solution undergoes sol-to-gel transition as the temperature ...

Evaluating the Ready Biodegradability of Biodegradable Plastics
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021Abstract Reducing the environmental burden and assessing the safety of plastics are huge global challenges. However, standard test data on the ready biodegradability of plastics are limited. We evaluated the ready biodegradability of 8 biodegradable plastics using Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test ...

Biodegradation of Plastics for Sustainable Environment.
Bioresource Technology, 2022Plastics are a kind of utility product that has become part and parcel of one's life. Their continuous usage, accumulation, and contamination of soil and water pose a severe threat to the biotic and abiotic components of the environment.

Biodegradability and biodegradation of poly(lactide)
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2006Poly(lactide) (PLA) has been developed and made commercially available in recent years. One of the major tasks to be taken before the widespread application of PLA is the fundamental understanding of its biodegradation mechanisms. This paper provides a short overview on the biodegradability and biodegradation of PLA.

The significance of biodegradability in the treatment and discharge of waste waters to natural bodies of water is discussed. Various methods of assessing biodegradability are described and their limitations illustrated by a consideration of the characteristics of bacterial growth and metabolism, including the phenomenon of co-metabolism.
