Bridging the Gap Between Human Toxicology and Ecotoxicology Under One Health Perspective by a Cross‐Species Adverse Outcome Pathway Network for Reproductive Toxicity

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Cross‐species extrapolation of adverse outcome pathway network on reproductive toxicity under the One Health perspective using new approach methodologies. AOP = adverse outcome pathway. Abstract Although ecotoxicological and toxicological risk assessments are performed separately from each other, recent efforts have been made in both disciplines to ...

Life Cycle Assessment of Sweet Sorghum as Feedstock for Second-generation Biofuel Production [PDF]

, 2017
There exist few life cycle assessments (LCAs) in the literature that focus on the second-generation biofuel production from sweet sorghum, a non-food-source feedstock that offers several advantages in terms of farming requirements compared to corn or ...

Interplay Between Green Investment and Market Price Premia in Global Shipping

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Existing research emphasises that the driver of green investment is its future profitability. This paper shows that other investors' decisions also influence green investment. We take the example of scrubber installation in shipping, which is optional by regulation but has an established market for trading its underlying asset.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Biogenic Synthesis of Silver and Iron Nanoparticles Derived From Grewia Optiva Leaf Extract: A Novel Approach for Antidiabetic, Anticoagulant and Anti‐Inflammatory Therapies

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the green synthesis of silver (Ag‐NPs) and iron nanoparticles (Fe‐NPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Grewia optiva as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The extract was prepared using a Kjeldahl apparatus under controlled heating. Nanoparticle synthesis was optimized by varying pH, temperature, and salt concentration,
