TL;DR: Analysis of leaf volatiles can provide a novel sensitive assay to gauge the toxicity of different antibiotics, and emissions of the lipoxygenase pathway products (LOX, green leaf vol atiles) were most sensitive indicators of antibiotic treatments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effects of aqueous solution of different quinone dyes on plant performance and identified the most promising traits for fast assessment of toxicity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the determination of some important antibiotics from different classes in waste water samples using solid phase extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography with two detectors, diode array and mass spectrometer in positive ionisation mode.

TL;DR: Starch-coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and tested as adsorbents for Optilan Blue dye removal from aqueous solutions in this article, where the Box-Behnken design approach was applied to determine the optimum experimental conditions for dye removal, selecting as independent variables initial concentration of dye, pH, temperature and adsorbent dose.

TL;DR: Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the propolis samples might be explained by the botanical sources present in the specific foraging areas, and the highest amounts of polyphenols and flavonoids were measured in regions where deciduous forests were dominant to coniferous, or where large areas of willow could be observed.
