Alternatives assessment: An analysis on progress and future needs for research and practice

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1337-1354, September 2024.
Abstract Alternatives assessment is a science‐policy approach to support the informed substitution of chemicals of concern in consumer products and industries, with the intent of avoiding regrettable substitution and facilitating the transition to safer, more sustainable chemicals and products. The field of alternatives assessment has grown steadily in

Characterizing Freshwater Ecotoxicity of More Than 9000 Chemicals by Combining Different Levels of Available Measured Test Data with In Silico Predictions

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 8, Page 1914-1927, August 2024.
Abstract Ecotoxicological impacts of chemicals released into the environment are characterized by combining fate, exposure, and effects. For characterizing effects, species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) estimate toxic pressures of chemicals as the potentially affected fraction of species.

A laboratory study of chemicals in nail products and exposure assessment using USEtox

Science of The Total Environment
Nail products contain many chemicals that serve a variety of functions and many of them are potentially harmful to product users. To better understand potential exposures to hazardous chemicals in nail products, in 2019, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) analyzed 178 nail products from 21 product types for 52 organic ...

Bayesian Optimization of Environmentally Sustainable Graphene Inks Produced by Wet Jet Milling

Small, Volume 20, Issue 33, August 15, 2024.
Wet jet milling (WJM) is an emerging graphene exfoliation approach for achieving scalable production of conductive inks for printed electronics. Bayesian optimization is employed here to guide the exploration of the vast experimental phase space for WJM, thus enabling efficient identification of optimal exfoliation conditions that substantially differ ...

Assessment of Chemical Products and Processes: Green Metrics and Life Cycle Assessment – A Comparison

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 561-574, May 2024.
Green metrics and life cycle assessment are two tools to assess the impact of chemical processes and products on the environment. Both methods describe the eco‐friendliness. Nevertheless, the results cannot be converted easily into each other, and they may even be contradictory. The reasons are briefly summarized and some recommendations for the use of
