Journal ArticleDOI

What is a green solvent? A comprehensive framework for the environmental assessment of solvents

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a comprehensive framework for the environmental assessment of solvents that covers major aspects of the environmental performance of Solvents in chemical production, as well as important health and safety issues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of Cumulative Aquatic Exposure and Risk Due to Silver: Contribution of Nano-Functionalized Plastics and Textiles

TL;DR: It is indicated that PEC/PNEC ratios greater than 1 cannot be ruled out for freshwater ecosystems, in particular sediments, and no risk is predicted for microbial communities in sewage treatment plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

What are the sources of exposure to eight frequently used phthalic acid esters in Europeans

TL;DR: The scenario‐based approach chosen in the present study provides a link between the knowledge on emission sources of phthalates and the concentrations ofphthalate metabolites found in human urine, which demonstrates that exposure of infant and adult consumers is caused by different sources in many cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive probabilistic modelling of environmental emissions of engineered nanomaterials

TL;DR: It is shown that the production volume and the compounds' inertness are crucial factors determining final concentrations of ENM, and ENM production estimates are generally higher than a few years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorinated alternatives to long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs), perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSAs) and their potential precursors

TL;DR: It is unclear whether fluorinated alternatives are safe for humans and the environment and three major data gaps are identified that must be filled to perform meaningful risk assessments.
