Estimating the gasoline components and formulations toxicity to microalgae (Tetraselmis chuii) and oyster (Crassostrea rhizophorae) embryos: an approach to minimize environmental pollution risk
(2007)
Even though petrochemical contamination frequently occurs in the form of oil spills, it is thought that a greater danger to coastal habitats is posed by chronic petrochemical toxicity associated with urban run-off, in which ...
Biogenic synthesis of nanostructured iron compounds: applications and perspectives
(Inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2013-09-01)
'Green nanotechnology' has attracted increasing attention in recent years because of the possibility to reduce and/or eliminate toxic substances. Indeed, biogenic syntheses of nanomaterials, such as nanoparticles (NPs), ...
Antimicrobial and Toxicological Effects of Phytosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles in Contact with E-Coli and C-Elegans
(Hikari, 2018-05)
The eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is reported from thereduction of an aqueous silver nitrate solution (10 mM) using a natural extract ofguava leaves (Psidium Guajava). The properties of the synthesized ...
A new electrochemical sensor based on eco-friendly chemistry for the simultaneous determination of toxic trace elements
(2020-11-01)
A method using glassy carbon electrode containing biochar, nanodiamonds and chitosan has been developed for simultaneous voltammetric quantification of cadmium and lead. The developed material was characterised by microscopy ...
Applications of Nanoparticles Synthesized by Yeasts: A Green and Eco-Friendly Method
(CAB International, 2013)
There are physical and chemical methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials. But, due to the damage these methods cause to the environment, there is a pressing need for a green nanotechnology that is clean and eco-friendly ...
Tannin and tannate from the quebracho tree: An eco-friendly alternative for controlling marine biofouling
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2007-06)
Current antifouling coatings are based on toxic compounds that can be harmful to the natural environment. A promising alternative to these compounds is the use of natural products that are non-toxic, but have antifouling ...
