Microplastic mineralization rate in Fenton reactions depends on polymer type
Abstract Despite microplastics (MPs) being highly inert pollutants, Fenton‐type reactions—using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and iron(II) ions (Fe2+)—may effectively initiate chain cleavage and induce mineralization. However, mineralization rates and mechanisms for different MP types at varying Fenton reagent concentrations remain unclear.

Microbial degradation of dimethylsulphide and related C1-sulphur compounds: organisms and pathways controlling fluxes of sulphur in the biosphere [PDF]
Dimethylsulphide (DMS) plays a major role in the global sulphur cycle. It has important implications for atmospheric chemistry, climate regulation, and sulphur transport from the marine to the atmospheric and terrestrial environments.

A retrospective case series of 66 foals with presumed acute interstitial pneumonia
Summary Background There is limited literature describing acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) in foals. Objectives Description of clinical and ultrasonographic findings in 66 foals affected by AIP. Investigation into whether the number of AIP cases is associated with specific climatic conditions. We also investigated whether clinical, haematological and
