Plastics in dermatology: A review and solutions

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1715-1724, October 2025.
This review explores the environmental and health impacts of plastics, particularly microplastics in dermatological products. It discusses the plastic life cycle, routes of exposure, health risks and provides science‐based recommendations to reduce plastic use in dermatology.

Tourism and fracking in the northern Drakensberg area: emerging challenges for tourism sustainability

open access: yesDiscover Sustainability
The South African government has granted licenses to numerous companies to explore the possibility of the extraction of shale gas through hydraulic fracturing of rock (commonly referred to as fracking) in various potentially gas-rich regions in South ...

Backyard Politics, National Policies: Understanding the Opportunity Costs of National Fracking Bans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Some local communities in the United States, particularly in the Northeast, are scrambling to oppose natural gas production enabled by hydraulic fracturing (or fracing, fracking, or hydrofracking) in shale formations.

Exploring the Effects of Hydraulic Fracturing on the 2019 Mw 5.0 Weiyuan Earthquake in Sichuan, China

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The seismicity inside the Sichuan Basin in southwest China has been dramatically intensified with the increase of shale gas exploitation recently. On 8 September 2019, an MW 5.0 earthquake struck Weiyuan County in the Sichuan Basin, representing the largest earthquake in the Weiyuan shale gas field.

Experimental Study on the Effect of Supercritical CO2 on Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characteristics of Longmaxi Shale

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2023
Conventional hydraulic fracturing techniques typically consume large amounts of water when producing shale gas. Fracking fluids may cause environmental pollution. In contrast, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) (above 31.8°C, 7.29 MPa) can displace CH4

Word choice matters: Comment on Stoutenborough et al. 2016, ‘Is “fracking” a new dirty word?’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Stoutenborough et al. (2016) recently published an article in Energy Research and Social Science with data to show that use of the term ‘fracking’ versus ‘hydraulic fracturing’ matters little with regards to the level of concern elicited by this form of ...

Monitoring Fracture Hydromechanical Evolution in the Lab and Field Using Unsupervised Metric Learning

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Fractures evolve in time through thermal‐hydraulic‐mechanical‐chemical (THMC) processes that alter their long‐range hydraulic transport properties and modify subsurface behavior and activities. The location of subsurface fractures makes it necessary to use remote sensing techniques such as passive or active seismic monitoring for fracture ...

Socio-environmental risk zones for fracking development: a spatialized multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for the Burgos Basin, Mexico

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking , has experienced exponential growth, mainly in the United States due to the development of the shale gas energy market.

Initial evaluation of high‐pressure ceramic nanofiltration for dissolved organic carbon isolation from surface waters across the land‐to‐ocean continuum

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 562-577, August 2025.
Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is one of the largest reservoirs of fixed carbon on Earth, and its cycling contributes to ocean productivity and carbon storage. Despite its central role, efforts to characterize DOC reactivity and cycling in aquatic systems have been hampered by low recovery during isolation.
