Evaluation of the Toxicity, Morphological and Behavioural Effects of Pelargonium graveolens Essential Oil in Artemia franciscana, Along With Its Antimicrobial Activity

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Essential oil of Pelargonium graveolens exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens, while higher concentrations induced mortality and altered swimming behaviour in Artemia franciscana. These findings highlight its therapeutic potential and underscore the importance of defining safe concentration ranges to support ...

Dwarf shrubs as bioindicators. [PDF]

Silva Fennica, 1981
Several studies of air polluted forest environments have shown that dwarf shrubs suffer from air pollution. In many cases the disturbances have been attributed to the susceptibility of the dwarf shrubs, while in some cases the vegetational competition factor has been discussed.

Phytotoxicity Assessment of Ashes Generated From Household Combustion of Conventional Fuels, Mixed Fuels, and Municipal Waste

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The main aim of the study was to assess the toxicity of ash generated in household furnaces through the combustion of materials most commonly burned in individual households. The toxicity tests were conducted using plant bioassays with cress (Lepidium sativum), mustard (Sinapis) and sorghum (Sorghum) seeds.
