    Author : Regan George; [2023]
    Keywords : PHA; HTC-substrate; Polymer;

    Abstract : Since their conception, plastics have been a dominant product due to the versatility of use, and readily available raw materials. However, the production and consumption of synthetic plastics have continued to increase over the years, leading to a significant rise in plastic waste and its associated environmental impacts, such as the detrimental effects plastic waste has on ecosystems, including the presence of toxic microplastics and risks to marine life, are becoming the focus of criticism.

    Keywords : Carbon dioxide CO2 ; greenhouse gas GHG emissions; Steelmaking fossil-free; direct hydrogen reduction; Sustainability transitions.;

    Abstract : Transitioning from the conventional steel process to a direct hydrogen reduction process in the steel industry is a significant step towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions and achieving greater sustainability. The process involves using hydrogen gas as a reducing agent instead of carbon to remove oxygen from the iron ore. READ MORE

  5. 5. EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lieke van Iersel; [2022-08-08]
    Keywords : oxygen consumption; zebrafish larvae; respirometry; endocrine disrupting chemicals; mixture toxicity;

    Abstract : Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through multiple endocrine pathways, contain a wide spectrum of health effects that can be very persistent and can cause effects already at a low doses.
