Sustainable Consumption and the “Last‐Mile” Problem: Cultural and Neural Mechanisms of Near‐Expiration Date Bias in Meat Purchases

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste poses escalating environmental costs and economic losses, with near‐expiration‐date bias limiting the effectiveness of discount‐based waste‐reduction initiatives. This study examines how expiration‐date cues, interacting with consumer identity, shape responses to discounted meat products through emotional and neural mechanisms in ...

Bisphenols and Phthalates in Bottled Mineral Water: First Evidence of Co‐Occurrence, Estrogenic Activity, and Health Risk in Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), its structural analogs, and phthalates are synthetic chemicals widely used, with documented endocrine‐disrupting activity. This study aimed to develop and validate a selective multiresidue analytical method for the simultaneous determination of BPA, 10 bisphenol analogs, and six phthalates in PET‐bottled mineral water.

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.
