Bioaccessibility and human health risk : chromium in Glasgow [PDF]

, 2006
The assessment of risk to human health from contaminated land is based on a comparison of predicted human exposure to a contaminant with a Health Criteria Value (HCV) that represents an exposure below which there is thought to be little or no risk to ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Influence of compost and digestates on plant growth and health: potentials and limits [PDF]

, 2008
Composts can influence soil fertility and plant health. These influences can be positive or negative, depending of the quality of the composts. In order to estimate the potential of Swiss composts to influence soil fertility and plant health, one hundred
