Bacteria-mediated PAH degradation in soil and sediment [PDF]

, 2011
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the natural environment and easily accumulate in soil and sediment due to their low solubility and high hydrophobicity, rendering them less available for biological degradation. However, microbial

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Traditional smoking of Wallachian cheeses and sausages in Polish and Slovak parts of the Carpathian Mountains

Journal of Ethnic Foods
Wallachian expansion brought to the Carpathian Mountains a system of shepherd economy—farming, production of Wallachian cheeses, animals adapted to life in difficult mountain conditions—mainly sheep of the Cakiel breed group.

Migration of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) from plastic and rubber articles [PDF]

, 2018
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a large group of chemically related substances many of which are known carcinogens. To minimise human exposure there are already several pieces of EU legislation which limit their presence in certain ...

Scientific opinion on the amendment of the specifications for vegetable carbon (E 153) as a food additive

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The food additive vegetable carbon (E 153) was re‐evaluated by the EFSA ANS Panel in 2012. During that re‐evaluation, data gaps were identified, in particular with respect to impurities and particle characterisation. Following a European Commission call for data to address these gaps, one interested business operator (IBO) submitted analytical

Legacy and emerging pollutants in marine bivalves from the Galician coast (NW Spain)

Environment International, 2019
The presence of pollutants in estuary and oceanic systems is a global problem and a serious concern to human and environmental health. Usually, environmental monitoring studies consider classical persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in imported Sardinops sagax: levels and health risk assessments through dietary exposure in Nigeria [PDF]

, 2016
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) occurrence and assessment of dietary exposure from imported canned sardines (Sardinops sagax) commercially marketed in local stores and supermarkets in Nigeria were evaluated for the first time.

Purification, characterization and three-dimensional structure prediction of multicopper oxidase Laccases from Trichoderma lixii FLU1 and Talaromyces pinophilus FLU12

Scientific Reports
Broad-spectrum biocatalysts enzymes, Laccases, have been implicated in the complete degradation of harmful pollutants into less-toxic compounds. In this study, two extracellularly produced Laccases were purified to homogeneity from two different ...

Shortcut to Highly Fluorescent Perylene Derivatives: From Fluoranthene Fissure‐Coupling to Late‐Stage Aromatic Extension

ChemistryEurope, Volume 3, Issue 6, November 11, 2025.
A two‐step shortcut for access to highly soluble, bent, and extended perylene‐based nanographene P1 from a nonperylene aromatic homologation precursor is presented. The modular, stepwise, and rational π‐extension postfunctionalization strategy allows for the tuning of the fluorescent emission properties to reach high quantum yields up to 0.78, giving ...

Polycyclic Aromatics as Promising Phosphorescence Materials

ChemistryEurope, Volume 3, Issue 6, November 11, 2025.
This review focuses on the recent progress of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs)‐based phosphorescent materials. Their molecular structural characteristics as promising phosphors are highlighted, and the efficient strategies from molecular and aggregation levels have been illustrated systematically to promote the development of PACs with desirable ...
