This work aims to assess the bioavailability and bioaccumulation of Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn in the soil–plant system (Erigeron canadensis L.) in the zone of anthropogenic impact in Dnipro city, a significant industrial and economic centre of Ukraine...
The emergence of infectious disease outbreaks and ‘superbugs’ related to pollution combined with climate change is a current problem, not just a future threat. In May 2024, an extreme flood hit the Rio Grando Sul State, southern Brazil, t...
Aquaculture and waste valorization have the potential to show solid achievements toward food security and improvements in the circularity of resources, which are crucial aspects of achieving a sustainable lifestyle in agreeance with Agenda 2030 goals...
Application of hydraulic fracturing to produce “unconventional” oil and gas from shale formations and other low-permeability geological units has raised concerns about the potential environmental impacts, including potential adverse effec...
In the present study, the toxicity of nicosulfuron to Danio rerio embryos was evaluated in three experiments through standardized toxicity tests according to OECD TG236 guidelines. In the first experiment, six concentrations of nicosulfuron (0, 0.1,...
While many sources of contamination in chemical and biological laboratories are well understood and known, some are less so. To quantify the magnitude of the potential contamination of solutions by zinc in common laboratory syringes, a study was cond...
Cadmium accumulation in wheat as a daily food, even in low concentrations, is a serious threat to human health. Previous studies have reported conflicting results on the impact of calcium treatments on cadmium uptake and translocation in plants due t...
End-of-life vehicle (ELV) forecasting constitutes a crucial aspect of sustainable waste management and resource allocation strategies. While the existing literature predominantly employs time-series forecasting and machine learning methodologies, a d...
The use of stable isotopes, specifically δ18OPO4 ratios, in differentiating potential sources of inorganic phosphorus (e.g., wastewater, septic, wild animals, domesticated animals, livestock, substrates, or commercial fertilizers) to watersheds...
A 2018 report from the Water Quality for Human Consumption Vigilance Information System (SISÁGUA, Brazil) showed the presence of 27 pesticides in Brazilian drinking water, of which 11 have carcinogenic potential. We assessed the data for 27 mu...
