Does The Standard Toxicological Testing Paradigm for Industrial Chemicals Apply to Screening for Children’s Health Risks?

Questions have been raised concerning whether standard toxicological testing paradigms for characterizing hazards are applicable for children. In this paper, the standard toxicological testing paradigm for industrial chemicals is examined. The analysis includes examination of the basic principles and elements of hazard characterization methodology based on animal toxicity data, examination of t...

Developmental neurotoxicity of industrial chemicals.

Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorder, mental retardation, and cerebral palsy are common, costly, and can cause lifelong disability. Their causes are mostly unknown. A few industrial chemicals (eg, lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], arsenic, and toluene) are recognised causes of neurodevelopmental disorders and subclinical brain dysfunction....

Secure Information Sharing in an Industrial Internet of Things

This paper investigates how secure information sharing with external vendors can be achieved in an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It also identifies necessary security requirements for secure information sharing based on identified security challenges stated by the industry. The paper then proposes a roadmap for improving security in IIoT which investigates both short-term and long-term ...

Perspective on opportunities in industrial biotechnology in renewable chemicals

From biomass to renewable chemicals: while industrial biotechnology offers a clear value proposition, a number of hurdles need to be addressed to fully realize the commercial potential of bio-based products and chemicals over the coming decade. A review of an early roadmap for biological production of chemicals from renewable sugars reveals a focus on those that would provide co-products for in...
