The influence of pesticides on the corrosion of a Roman bowl excavated in Kent, UK [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 We analysed corrosion from a copper bowl dating from the Roman period (43–410 AD) found in a farm in Kent, UK. Despite its relatively good condition, the interior and exterior surface of the object had areas of deterioration containing green and brown ...

Immobilized nanoscale zero-valent iron for synergistic enhanced removal of pentachlorobenzene with Pseudomonas sp. JS100 [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Highly chlorinated benzenes usually have a low efficient degradation in environment. Here we proposed a synergistic removal strategy of pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) using Pseudomonas sp. JS100 coupled with immobilized nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI).

The decrease in panicle number is the main reason for the yield reduction of japonica rice caused by 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant SciencePersistent organic pollutants seriously affect the growth and development of crops. 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene (TCB), as one of the most widely used chlorobenzenes, can affect the yield of japonica rice.
