  • Gut microbes may flush ‘forever chemicals’ from the body

    Gut microbes may flush ‘forever chemicals’ from the body

    Expelling toxic “forever chemicals” from the body may take guts — or at least, their microbes.

    Some microbes found in the human gut can absorb some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, researchers report July 1 in…

  • Variations in gamma radiation and alpha-emitting radionuclides in correlation with weather and location conditions

    Variations in gamma radiation and alpha-emitting radionuclides in correlation with weather and location conditions

    The highest average values of gamma dose rate were recorded in Zakopane and Lesko, exceeding 100 nSy h-1, while the lowest was observed in Swinoujscie, below 80 nSv h-1. Considering the concentration of alpha-emitting radionuclides, the highest…

  • Enhanced sulfadiazine degradation through synergistic visible light assisted peroxymonosulfate activation using a magnetic Fe₃O₄-ZnIn₂S₄ catalyst

    Enhanced sulfadiazine degradation through synergistic visible light assisted peroxymonosulfate activation using a magnetic Fe₃O₄-ZnIn₂S₄ catalyst

    Characterization of catalyst

    The morphology of ZnIn2S4 before and after modification was investigated by SEM analysis. As shown in Fig. 1a, the pristine ZnIn2S4 exhibited a flower-like microsphere (1–3 μm) composed of ultrathin, cross-linked…
