Reducing impact load on RC-Slabs using Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)

Scientific Reports
Reinforced Concrete (RC) slabs are widely used in structural applications due to their ability to withstand heavy loads. However, under impact loading conditions such as falling objects or debris, their brittle nature makes them prone to cracking and ...

Leachate From Expanded Polystyrene Cups Is Toxic to Aquatic Invertebrates (Ceriodaphnia dubia)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) products and their associated chemicals (e.g., styrenes) are widespread in the marine environment. As a consequence, bans on their use for single-use packaging materials are being proposed in several municipalities.
