Testing the effectiveness of household fuel conservation strategies: Policy implications for increasing the affordability of exclusive clean cooking Environ. Int. (IF 11.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Kendra N. Williams, Katarina Kamenar, Josiah L. Kephart, Marilu Chiang, Stella M. Hartinger, William Checkley
Background Exclusive clean fuel use is essential for realizing health and other benefits but is often unaffordable. Decreasing household-level fuel needs could make exclusive clean fuel use more affordable, but there is a lack of knowledge on the amount of fuel savings that could be achieved through fuel conservation behaviors relevant to rural settings in low- and middle-income countries.

Microplastics are created for commercial use, are shed from textiles, or result from the breakdown of larger plastic items. Recent reports have shown that microplastics accumulate in human tissues and may have adverse health consequences. Currently, there are no standardized environmental monitoring systems to track microplastic accumulation within human tissues. Using Raman spectroscopy, we investigated

Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHi) are fungicides used to control the proliferation of pathogenic fungi in crops. Their mode of action is based on blocking the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), a universal enzyme expressed by all species harboring mitochondria. The SDH is involved in two interconnected metabolic processes for energy production: the transfer of electrons in the mitochondrial

Macroplastic fragmentation in rivers Environ. Int. (IF 11.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-07 Maciej Liro, Anna Zielonka, Tim H.M. van Emmerik
The process of macroplastic (>0.5 cm) fragmentation results in the production of smaller plastic particles, which threaten biota and human health and are difficult to remove from the environment. The global coverage and long retention times of macroplastic waste in fluvial systems (ranging from years to centuries) create long-lasting and widespread potential for its fragmentation and the production
