Multiple epidemiological studies across countries have linked exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with adverse reproductive outcomes; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely characterized. In...

Abstract Background Society aims for a pollutant-free environment, reflected in initiatives under the European Green Deal, which seek to reduce hazardous substances and promote safe, sustainable chemical use. Comprehensi...

The main objective of the research is to detail the dynamics of indicators selected from the Eurostat database. The indicators that will be presented are the production of chemicals, the consumption of chemicals and wa...

BackgroundRecent studies have disputed the association between bisphenol A (BPA) and endometriosis. This updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of BPA exposure on endometriosis.MethodsThis study ev...

Abstract A selective and eco-friendly spectrophotometric approach was developed for the quantitative determination of entacapone (ENT) in the presence of its co-formulated drugs carbidopa (CAR) and levodopa (LEV) which e...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims It is well‐known that perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate are thyroid‐disrupting chemicals. Evidence regarding the cognitive correlates of thyroid‐disrupting anions in older adults re...

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has risen rapidly over the past decade, particularly among adolescents and young adults, driven by perceptions of reduced harm compared with combustible cigarettes. Despite the abse...

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has emerged as a promising strategy for mitigating CO2 emissions while producing valuable chemicals. However, conventional CCU relies on separate capture, purification, and conversion...

Abstract Environmental hazards of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and associated chemicals have been investigated for more than a decade. However, the field of human MNPs health risk assessment is still confronted by many...

The EU's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability aims to incorporate environmental risk of combined exposure, stemming from unintentional chemical mixtures in the environment, into regulatory risk assessments. Within the E...

Today’s farming is up against the tough task of boosting crop yields while also taking care of the environment. The way pesticides and herbicides are usually applied can be a real hassle. It's often not very efficient,...

Abstract Background Healthcare laboratories play a critical role in patient care but contribute substantially to environmental impact due to high consumption of energy, water, and chemicals, as well as the generation of ...

Modern lifestyle factors, including dietary choices, significantly affect individual and intergenerational health. The widespread reliance on processed and takeout foods, along with the regular use of cosmetics and perso...

Abstract This is the first study which presents integrated geo-spatial prospective life cycle and supply chain sustainability modelling of two compound semiconductors: Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) and Indium Gallium Ph...

BackgroundBoth insulin and glucagon have been extensively studied due to their critical roles in glucose metabolism, development, and disease. However, there is limited information about the molecular characteristics of ...

Abstract Direct hydrogenation of CO2 with renewable H2 into value-added chemicals provides a promising pathway for sustainable carbon utilization in the future. Although extensive research has been conducted on CO2 hydro...

One of the environmental problems associated with the accumulation of manure and litter is the emission of greenhouse gases. During the storage and processing of manure and litter, emissions of three main greenhouse gase...

Transitioning from petrochemical–derived products to sustainable bioprocesses requires low–cost inocula and robust operational strategies. Yet, the undefined mixed inocula (UMI) tunability from landfill ecosystems fo...

Abstract The dorid nudibranch Cadlina rumia is a tropical western Atlantic species commonly found under boulders and that frequently preys upon the chemically defended sponge Dysidea etheria. We evaluated the ability of ...

Abstract One of the factors contributing to “the death valley” in biotech process transfer is an assumption that once a synthetic trait is successfully introduced and optimized in a microbial host, the resulting stra...

Environmental justice communities across the United States continue to experience disproportionate exposure to industrial pollution, particularly in regions dominated by petrochemical infrastructure. The Alsen / St. Irma...

Abstract Humans are exposed to thousands of chemicals throughout their life. Many of these chemicals are detected in blood and have been catalogued in the Blood Exposome Database. Comprehensive hazard assessment of a che...

Produced water, generated as a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, is a complex mixture characterized by high salinity and the presence of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, salts, and production-related chemicals. Its large v...

Exposure to poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has been a cause for concern for decades due to evidence linking exposure to these substances with adverse health effects. Its widespread use in industrial and cons...
