Abstract:

Preliminary Ecotoxicity and Biodegradability Assessment of Metalworking Fluids The main aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of activated sludge from sewage treatment plant to degrade selected MWFs (ecotoxicity to bacterial consortium) and to evaluate the ecotoxicity by Lemna minor-higher plant. After evaluating the ecotoxicity, biodegradations rate with activated sludge was assessed on the basis of COD measurement. Preliminary study of measuring the ecotoxicity according to OECD 221 by Lemna minor shows effective concentration of Emulzin H at the rate of 81.6 mg l-1, for Ecocool 82

Abstract:

The ecotoxicity assessment of new substances is crucial for their considered launch on the market. Due to various properties of chemical compounds, however, the application of biotests can be challenging. In the case of insoluble compounds, a proper, non-toxic solvent must be applied. The presented preliminary results demonstrate the extremely high ecotoxicity of camphor and camphor oxime, assessed by means of the Microtox system. A 81.9% Basic Test with 14 dilutions was applied. The ecotoxicity of a solvent (i.e. DMSO) was also assessed. The initial concentration of substances was 5%. EC50 va

Abstract:

This study investigates the extraction of cellulose from Saudi Arabia-based date palm biomass utilizing a natural deep eutectic solvent (NaDES) integrated with a microwave-assisted process. A comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted in accordance with the ISO 14040 standard, encompassing four key stages: goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory analysis (LCI), life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) and interpretation. The analysis was confined to a gate-to-gate boundary in which two impact assessment methods, namely, ReCiPe Midpoint (H) 2016 and ILCD 2011 Midpoint, were used

Abstract:

In South Korea, hazardous characteristics of wastes to be recycled are managed through the “Environmental Impact Assessment of Recycling” system. The ecotoxicity of medium-contact recyclable wastes, that is, those in contact with soil, groundwater, surface water, etc., is managed according to this system and is determined based on whether or not they exceed an ecotoxicity value (TU) of 2.0. The ecotoxicity of wastes is tested and determined by using pretreated eluate samples according to the Official Wastes Test Standard and applying the Official Water Pollution Process Test Standard.

Abstract:

Ornamental plants such as floriculture and nurseries, have become increasingly popular, but their growth relies heavily on the use of many different types of pesticides. The widespread and inefficient use of these pesticides causes environmental pollution and damage to non-target organisms. Despite these impacts, there has been little research conducted on potential agrochemical pollution in the ornamental plant industry. To address this gap, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to evaluate the pesticide-related freshwater ecotoxicity impact of the US ornamental plant industry in compar

The effect of nitrate, oxide, sulfide and silver nanoparticles at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 mg/kg on catalase and dehydrogenase activity was evaluated 30 days after contamination. In most cases, the negative effect of nitrate, oxide, sulfide and silver nanoparticles on the enzymatic activity of ordinary carbonate chernozem was noted. The degree of ecotoxicity of silver is affected by its concentration in th

Abstract:

Textiles and garments are increasingly being included in life cycle assessment (LCA) studies because the use of chemicals in industrial production of these items has potential environmental impacts. The USEtox model, characterized by ecotoxicity characterization factors based on abundant data, is a useful tool for assessing the toxicity of chemical pollutants. The objectives of this study were to estimate characterization factors of cotton fabric-related chemicals based on data from a quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model and assess the ecotoxicological impact of cotton wov

Abstract The seawater desalination technology, named WEFO (Water with Electrolysis, Filtration, and Ozonation), holds significant potential for addressing clean water scarcity in coastal areas. This study employs Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impact of producing the WEFO device. The LCA results indicate notable environmental impacts, mostly attributable to using stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Stainless steel contributes 72.81% to abiotic depletion, 85.54% to acidification, 47.64% to eutrophication, 79.87% to freshwater ecotoxicity, 81.05% to terrestrial ecotoxi

Abstract:

Heavy metals have serious negative effects on various aquatic organisms, and therefore rapid and accurate ecotoxicological assessments of heavy metals are necessary. Fish-derived cells sensitive to heavy metals have been used as valuable tools for ecotoxicological assessments. However, this method requires a minimum toxicity treatment time of 96 h, which limits its use when rapid ecotoxicological assessments are required or ecotoxicological assessments of a large number of toxicants are performed. In this study, these limitations were overcome by adjusting parameters including the concentratio

The bioluminescence inhibition bioassay using marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri is widely used as a tool to assess the toxicity of chemical compounds, because of the many benefits comprising cost and time effectiveness, rapidness, sensitivity, and ease of operation. In addition, the test is used for various types of organic and inorganic compounds. Due to the insolubility of organic compounds in water, a suitable solubilizer should be applied. The ecotoxicity of the solvent should be negligible in relation to marine bacteria. On account of superior human activities the synthesis of new chemical

Abstract:

Animal-based products reportedly have substantial water footprints. One alternative to meat products is meat analogs, which are processed plant-based foods mimicking real meat products. As data for the water footprints of meat analogs are limited, the present study assesses their water consumption and their potential for contributing to eutrophication and ecotoxicity in fresh and marine receiving waters. Life cycle assessments, which encompassed the generation of ingredients to the packaging of products, were performed for 39 meat analogs. Estimates for consumptive water use, ecotoxicity, and

The demand for agricultural products is growing and is resulting in significant environmental impacts due to the overuse of fertilizers (and pesticides in some cases). There is a continued need to find sustainable methods in agricultural systems without harming the environment. Regenerative agriculture can be considered as one of the best methods of sustainable agriculture. The aim of this comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) study was to quantify the environmental impacts associated with the production of silage maize at different doses of fertilizers and pesticides under conventional agri

Carbon capture and storage(CCS) is a technique that aims to capture carbon dioxide(C02) from emissions and store it somewhere, thus it attracts public attention as a reduction method of the greenhouse gases(GHGs). To achieve GHGs reduction goal complying with 2005 level by 2050，internationally it is forecasted that CCS will reduce 19% of total greenhouse gas. Also, South Korea has a plan to reduce 32 million tons of CO2 emission, which is 10% of total national GHGs, by using CCS techniques by 2030.
