The incorporation of feed-use (FU) amino acids (AAs) in diets results in a reduced use of protein-rich ingredients such as soybean meal, recognized to have elevated contributions to environmental impacts. This study investigated whether the incorporation of L-lysine.HCl, L-threonine and FU-methionine reduces the environmental impacts of pig and broiler feeds using Life Cycle Assessment. The fol...

As policies have been implemented globally to limit the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and effects climate change, generation electricity by renewable technologies has started increase. The development sustainable energy storage solutions also become more important. continued use conventional chemical batteries presents environmental issues such as heavy metal pollution unsustainable res...

The main objective of this study was to assess the environmental risk of chars derived from the pyrolysis of mixtures of pine, plastics, and scrap tires, by studying their leaching potential and ecotoxicity. Relationships between chemical composition and ecotoxicity were established to identify contaminants responsible for toxicity. Since metallic contaminants were the focus of the present stud...

In this study, the concentration probability distributions of 82 pharmaceutical compounds detected in the effluents of 179 European wastewater treatment plants were computed and inserted into a multimedia fate model. The comparative ecotoxicological impact of the direct emission of these compounds from wastewater treatment plants on freshwater ecosystems, based on a potentially affected fractio...

A general study with the objective to classify ecotoxicity status of macrobenthose associated with dominant toxic zoanthids in Hormuz Island is presented. Hence, a novel model based on hard bottom macrobenthos and the related substrate composition was suggested to be used for testing the accumulated palytoxin (PTX) in macrobenthose exposed to Zoanthus sansibaricus. Direct and rapid assessment i...

Artemia is one of the most important test organisms available for ecotoxicity test. In this study the toxicity of five widely used herbicides formulations including: Paraquat, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), Trifluralin, Glyphosite and Atrazin were compared using ecotoxicity bioindicator, Artemia franciscana. Acute toxicity (48 h LC50) of five herbicides were determined via OECD standa...

Reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation purposes is a measure to reduce water stress and overexploitation freshwater resources. This study aims investigate the environmental economic impacts current conventional treatment plant (WWTP) in Peschiera Borromeo (Milan, Italy), compare possible scenarios enable reclaimed reuse agriculture. Accordingly, we propose alternative disinfection methods (...

The utilization of end-of-life batteries (including Zn-C and alkaline batteries) is one the areas that need to be perfected in order provide environmental human safety as well contribute closing material loop, described EU Green Deal. presented study shows impacts two selected pyrometallurgical technologies (processing black mass from waste an additive existing process recycling steelmaking dus...
