chemical processes will produce larger volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious.To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified.This will involve ever - increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals.From this, it is ...
It is widely recognized that quantified risk has become the dominant basis for the regulation of chemical substances in order to protect human health and the environment. It is less well understood that risk has two distinct meanings in environmental regulation, and that they serve two distinct ...
The use of synthesis in a way that complements analysis will be a main theme of this review BOX 1. Synthetic biology already has many accomplish- ments to its credit. The effort to generate synthetic genetic systems has yielded diagnostic tools, such as Bayer's branched DNA assay (...
Developing low-cadmium (Cd) rice cultivars has emerged as a promising avenue for food safety in Cd-contaminated farmlands. The root-associated microbiomes of rice have been shown to enhance rice growth and alleviate Cd stress. However, the microbial taxo
The main goal of present study was to comprehensively and systematically reveal indole aerobic degradation microbial communities, enriching our understanding of indole-degrading processes. Results Performance of the indole-degrading bioreactors. The construction and operation processes of the reactors were...

The built-up area and population density layers are derived from two sources of input information, satellite imagery and population data available from censuses. The two ESV are described in subsections below. Satellite imagery is the main information source used to extract the built-up areas; thi...
The main soil types of the arable land area are red soil (61.1%), purple soil (9.8%), and yellow loam (5.2%), respectively. Notably, within the study area, Luoping County, Huize County, and Xuanwei City have lead-zinc mines, phosphate rock, and other mineral resources. Moreover, ...
Among the main advantages of 2DQDs are highly tunable photoluminescence (PL) effect, enhanced photostability, atomically-thin structure, molecular size, biocompatibility, and easy functionalization [20,21]. Because of their small dimensions, QDs lead to quantization of energy levels according to the ...
On the other hand, increas-ing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will pro-duce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals...
