Herbicidal pollution—pollen damage due to herbicides
Environmental Pollution (1970), 1977 Abstract The maximisation of agricultural yields has been related to the utilisation of pesticides and, as a result, herbicidal control of weeds has gathered momentum. In spite of the greater selectivity and minimum damage aimed at, herbicides have now been proved to act as ecological narcotics.

Ambient Hydrocarbonylation of Olefins Enabled by Visible‐Light
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel photo‐induced methodology for hydrocarbonylation has been established, resolving the inherent conflicts between competitive olefin and CO insertion in traditional methods that necessitate harsh conditions. Accordingly, an efficient and versatile hydrocarbonylation of olefins enabled by visible‐light irradiation under ambient conditions has been
