Are international environmental policies effective? The case of the Rotterdam and the Stockholm Conventions

open access: yesEconomic Modelling, 2019
Abstract This is the first paper to show that participation in an international environmental agreement has some effectiveness. Our identification strategy consists of applying difference-in-differences techniques in a panel data framework to various levels of data aggregation.

Ultrafast Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors With Ion‐Permeable Conductive Polymer Top Electrodes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) are limited in speed by ion‐impermeable metal electrodes that slow ion injection. Using ion‐permeable PBFDO top electrodes allows direct vertical ion injection into BBL channels, achieving high current densities (>400 A cm−2), large on/off ratios (>106), and ultrafast switching in 28 µs. This sets a

Dioxin sources to the aquatic environment: Re-assessing dioxins in industrial processes and possible emissions to the aquatic

open access: yesEmerging Contaminants, 2021
Releases of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDFs) from industrial or thermal processes to the aquatic environment are considered small compared to emissions to air today. However, industrial processes have occasionally released

Identification of POP candidates for the Stockholm Convention

open access: yes, 2023
More than 10000 chemicals are known to be used as additives in plastics (1). Known PBT characteristics, production volumes and empirical data were sued to evaluate their potential for nomination to the Stockholm Convention. A 5-Tiered approach was used to identify 9 chemicals for further investigation.

Cellulose Surface Modification Effects on Equilibrium and Non‐Equilibrium Wetting by Water

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations of nanometer‐sized water droplets spreading on cellulose substrates show strong effects from surface chemistry on both equilibrium contact angles and spreading dynamics. ABSTRACT Chemical modification is an important route to tuning interactions between nanocellulose and its surrounding media. Specifically, it affects the

Multi‐Parametric Fluorescence Spectroscopy for the Detection and Characterization of Plant‐Derived Protein Residues on 316L Stainless Steel

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
UV–vis fluorescence spectroscopy enables sensitive monitoring of plant protein adsorption on AISI 316L stainless steel under food‐processing‐relevant conditions. Spectral deconvolution reveals adsorption‐induced changes associated with protein–surface interactions and conformational alterations, demonstrating the potential of the technique for ...

Spatial distribution of Dechlorane Plus and dechlorane related compounds in European background air

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
The highly chlorinated chemical Dechlorane Plus (DP) was introduced as a replacement flame retardant for Mirex, which is banned through the Stockholm Convention (SC) for its toxicity (T), environmental persistence (P), potential for bioaccumulation (B ...
