Corrosion of Potential Canister Materials During Oxic to Anoxic Transient in Compacted Bentonite

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
A comprehensive analytical approach was applied to investigate material degradation phenomena of cast iron and copper as potential canister materials for the safe disposal of high‐level radioactive waste, as well as compacted bentonite exposed to artificial water relevant for disposal. ABSTRACT The long‐term performance of the engineered barrier system

Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Microbial Community Dynamics in Marine Water: Influence of Hydrocarbon Type and Exposure Time

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine environments are frequently impacted by petroleum‐derived hydrocarbons, which pose ecological risks because of their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic potential. Microorganisms play a crucial role in hydrocarbon degradation, and understanding the influence of time and hydrocarbon type on microbial dynamics helps improve bioremediation ...

Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in the Shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862): Assessment in an Environmental Preservation Area in the Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities generate a significant amount of pollutants that are released into the environment, causing physiological and ecological disturbances. Among the xenobiotics present in aquatic ecosystems, numerous chemical and organic compounds have oxidative potential or are metabolized through oxidative processes, which may amplify ...

Opium trade and use during the Late Bronze Age: Organic residue analysis of ceramic vessels from the burials of Tel Yehud, Israel

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Organic residue analysis was conducted on various vessels from burials at Tel Yehud, Israel. The analyses led to new reliable evidence for the presence of opioid alkaloids and their decomposition products. This research revitalizes a decades‐old discussion on the presence and function of the opium trade across a cultural region of utmost ...

Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...
