Microplastics are generated from plastic waste in landfills due to physical, chemical, and biological effects, eventually enter into the leachate. Leachate is a potential source of environmental microplastics which has not been emphasized. Here, we summarized investigation leachate 9 countries 28 papers, provided comprehensive review sampling, detection, separation leachate, elaborated on quali...

Faster, cheaper, sensitive, and mechanisms-based animal alternatives are needed to address the safety assessment needs of growing number nanomaterials (NM) their sophisticated property variants. Specifically, strategies that help identify prioritize alternative schemes involving individual test models, toxicity endpoints, assays for adverse outcomes, as well enable validation refinement these r...

Fast header processing in Optical Transport Networks (OTN) has been foreseen as one of the main challenges in All-Optical Packet Switched (AOPS) networks. The LASAGNE project aims at supporting All-Optical Label Swapping (AOLS), easing most of the header processing drawbacks in AOPS. However, AOLS is expensive mainly because each supported label requires the deployment of an All-Optical Logic X...

BACKGROUND Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) link adverse effects in individuals or populations to a molecular initiating event (MIE) that can be quantified using in vitro methods. Practical application of AOPs in chemical-specific risk assessment requires incorporation of knowledge on exposure, along with absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties of chemicals. OBJEC...

Characterizing variability in the extent and nature of responses to environmental exposures is a critical aspect of human health risk assessment. Chemical toxicants act by many different mechanisms, however, and the genes involved in adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) and AOP networks are not yet characterized. Functional genomic approaches can reveal both toxicity pathways and susceptibility gene...

Photo-induced Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) using H2O2 or S2O82? as radical precursors were assessed for the abatement of six different contaminants emerging concern (CECs). In order to increase efficiency these AOPs at a wider pH range, catechol organic functional compound was studied potential assistant in photo-driven iron-based processes. Different salinity regimes also (in terms Cl? ...

the kinetic of photo oxidative decolorization of c.i. acid yellow 23 (ay23) was investigated in uv/ process. the semi-logarithmic of the concentrations of ay23 versus irradiation time were linear, suggesting pseudo-first order reaction. a simple kinetic model is proposed which confirms pseudo- first order reaction. the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant is a function of l...
