Estrogenic, Genotoxic, and Antibacterial Effects of Chemicals from Cryogenically Milled Tire Tread

Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) contain complex mixtures of chemicals and release them to the environment,and potential toxic effects of these chemicals still need to be characterized. We used a standardized surrogate for TRWP,cryogenically milled tire ...

Inhalation of Microplastics—A Toxicological Complexity

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Myriam Borgatta

Humans are chronically exposed to airborne microplastics (MPs) by inhalation. Various types of polymer particles have been detected in lung samples, which could pose a threat to human health. Inhalation toxicological studies are crucial for assessing the e ...

A benchmark dataset for machine learning in ecotoxicology

Kristin Schirmer, Marco Baity-Jesi, Fernando Perez Cruz

The use of machine learning for predicting ecotoxicological outcomes is promising, but underutilized. The curation of data with informative features requires both expertise in machine learning as well as a strong biological and ecotoxicological background, ...

Evaluation of tire tread particle toxicity to fish using rainbow trout cell lines

Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset, Gabrielle Léger

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) resulting from tire abrasion while driving raise concerns due to their potential contribution to aquatic toxicity. Our study aimed to assess cryogenically milled tire tread (CMTT) particle toxicity, used as a proxy for T ...

Human personal air pollution clouds in a naturally ventilated office during the COVID-19 pandemic

Dusan Licina, Shen Yang, Akila Muthalagu

Personal cloud, termed as the difference in air pollutant concentrations between breathing zone and room sites, represents the bias in approximating personal inhalation exposure that is linked to accuracy of health risk assessment. This study performed a t ...

Biomimetic Photodegradation of Glyphosate in Carborane-Functionalized Nanoconfined Spaces

Kyriakos Stylianou, Arunraj Chidambaram

The removal of organophosphorus (OP) herbicides fromwater hasbeen studied using adsorptive removal, chemical oxidation, electrooxidation,enzymatic degradation, and photodegradation. The OP herbicide glyphosate(GP) is one of the most used herbicides worldwi ...

Sulfated and sulfonated dendritic polyglycerols and use thereof as broad-spectrum virucidal agents

Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri

The invention relates to dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) compounds with alkyl-sulfonate/ sulfate functional groups that irreversibly inhibit viral infection (virucidal effect) through multivalent interaction in nanomolar concentration range. While the compoun ...

Limitations and Uncertainties of Acute Fish Toxicity Assessments Can Be Reduced Using Alternative Methods

Kristin Schirmer

Information about acute fish toxicity is routinely required in many jurisdictions for environmental risk assessment of chemicals. This information is typically obtained using a 96-hour juvenile fish test for lethality according to OECD test guideline (TG) ...
