TL;DR: In this article, carboxylic acid nanogels (CANs) were incorporated into a Pebax MH 1657 matrix for potential applications in CO 2 /CH 4 (or N 2 ) separation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariate analysis revealed that mining activity was the main source of TCr, Cr(VI), and Zn in the surface water that warrants attention, and the results revealed that the total cancer risk was 1.21E-03 and 1.05 E-03 in adults and children, respectively, which exceeded the USEPA acceptable cancer health risk.
Abstract: Sukinda is one of the most polluted regions of the globe due to chromium pollution. The study sheds light into the heavy metal pollution around the mining area and its effect on the health of the resident populace. The Cr(VI) was in the range of 0.027–2.48 mg/L in surface water and BDL–1.35 mg/L in the groundwater. Multivariate analysis revealed that mining activity was the main source of TCr, Cr(VI), and Zn in the surface water that warrants attention. Heavy metal evaluation index showed high levels of Fe, Mn, and Cr in groundwater that can pose serious threat to the exposed population. Cancer and non-cancer risk of Cr(VI) was higher than other metals in groundwater. The results revealed that the total cancer risk was 1.21E-03 and 1.05E-03 in adults and children, respectively, which exceeded the USEPA acceptable cancer health risk. High health risk was observed through oral intake of water, while both cancer and non-cancer risks were negligible through dermal contact. This study strongly advocate...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a model polluted sediment in which those chemicals were adsorbed on sea sand and showed that the concentration of alkylphenols (nonylphenol and octylphenol) and synthetic estrogen (ethynylestradiol) were decreased by fungal laccases which oxidize phenols with the aid of molecular oxygen.

TL;DR: An etho-toxicological approach is proposed to study the effects of toxicants in conditions of thermal increase, using aquatic organisms as experimental models under laboratory controlled conditions to consider the potential consequences for the human beings due to fish and shellfish consumption.
