The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as an important animal model in
various fields including neurobiology, developmental biology, and genetics. Characteristics …

Rare earth elements (REE) used to be taken as tracers of geological origin for fluvial
transport. Nowadays their increased applications in innovative environmental-friendly …

The aim of this work is to evaluate and compare the performance of ferrous and aluminum

There has been an explosion of interest in ionic liquids in the last five years that has resulted
in the discovery of a vast number of new ionic liquids with a wide range of interesting …

Caenorhabditis elegans, a free-living nematode species, was adopted for a toxicity bioassay
of 10 heavy metals. The lethal concentration (LC) of these metals was determined. Based on …

Two sorbents are successfully synthesized based on the chemical modification of gellan
gum (GG). First, thiosemicarbazide is grafted onto GG to produce GEG-C. In a second step …

Toxicity tests in invertebrates often use sublethal endpoints, which may exhibit different
sensitivity for various toxicants. Our objective was to characterize the sensitivity of …

Cobalt is a naturally occurring element with a number of radioactive isotopes. It is a silvery
grey solid at room temperatures. Sources of exposure are both natural and anthropogenic …

Ionic liquids are gaining attention as new solvents within the green chemistry community;
however this attention has quickly outstripped current environmental and toxicological data …

The field of neurotoxicology needs to satisfy two opposing demands: the testing of a growing
list of chemicals, and resource limitations and ethical concerns associated with testing using …
