Towards a Computational Ecotoxicity Assay

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, 2020
Thousands of anthropogenic chemicals are released into the environment each year, posing potential hazards to human and environmental health. Toxic chemicals may cause a variety of adverse health effects, triggering immediate symptoms or delayed effects over longer periods of time.

Microscale ecotoxicity testing of Moselle river watershed (Lorraine Province, France) sediments

Journal of Xenobiotics, 2015
The ecotoxic potential of seven Moselle river watershed sediments was assessed with a battery of bioassays comprised of rapid phototrophic [LuminoTox solid phase (L-SPA) and elutriate (L-ELU) assays] and bacterial [Microtox solid phase assay (M-SPA ...

Estimate ecotoxicity characterization factors for chemicals in life cycle assessment using machine learning models

Environment International, 2020
In life cycle assessment, characterization factors are used to convert the amount of the chemicals and other pollutants generated in a product’s life cycle to the standard unit of an impact category, such as ecotoxicity.

Pb(II)-inducible proviolacein biosynthesis enables a dual-color biosensor toward environmental lead

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
With the rapid development of synthetic biology, various whole-cell biosensors have been designed as valuable biological devices for the selective and sensitive detection of toxic heavy metals in environmental water. However, most proposed biosensors are

Influence of Foliar Zinc Application on Cadmium and Zinc Bioaccessibility in Brassica chinensis L.: In Vitro Digestion and Chemical Sequential Extraction

Foods
Foliar zinc (Zn) application can affect the accumulation and bioaccessibility of cadmium (Cd) and Zn in crops. However, the mechanisms by which foliar Zn application influences Cd and Zn bioaccessibility remain elusive. This study examined the effects of
