Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ...

Microplastics (MPs) pose a global threat to marine ecosystems, little is known about the factors that influence their bioavailability. Microplastics have the ability to adsorb contaminants from the environment, as well as ...

Bisphenol A, or BPA, goes into the composition of a large number of products including sunglasses, infant’s feeding bottles, receipts, or food packaging. Nowadays, there is a growing evidence that BPA may be at the origin ...

This study investigates the leaching potential of several additives embedded in six different plastic types when exposed to extreme simulated marine conditions for 140 days. The findings achieved herein contribute to a ...

Microalgae have become a key source of valuable compounds, promoting commercial scale applications. However, biological contamination is one of the most critical problems associated with large scale algal production, ...

Tetraselmis sp. microalgae biomass co-digestion with frying oil residue was investigated without or with an ultrasonication pretreatment to enhance methane production. Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis ...

Environmental discharge of wastewater represents a source of chemical and biological pollutants. This study firstly evaluates the microbiological and physicochemical quality of treated wastewaters collected from two ...

Microalgae are considered natural alternatives to replace synthetic antioxidants. The extraction of polyphenols from Scenedesmus sp. and Chlorella sp. was optimized by employing a central composite design. The effect of ...

Pesticides are increasingly used in combinations in crop protection, resulting in enhanced toxicities for various organisms. Although protein adductomics is challenging, it remains a powerful bioanalytical tool to check ...

High-grade gliomas represent the most common group of infiltrative primary brain tumors in adults associated with high invasiveness, agressivity, and resistance to therapy, which highlights the need to develop potent drugs ...
