Terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems face various chemicals that might induce acute and/or long-term harm. To assess these impacts, ecotoxicological bioassays are essential. However, using animals, particularly mammals, costly, time-consuming, raise ethical concerns. In this context, terrestrial plants emerge as a viable alternative to conventional assays. Thus, the aim of review was address history evolution plant bioassays, highlighting main regulations, guidelines, protocols governing use in tests. Initially, were employed cytogenotoxic effects chemicals, gaining prominence with GENE-TOX program 80s. Subsequently, used allelopathy studies aimed examine ecotoxicity pesticides soil. Currently, regulated by specific standards, such ASTM E1963–22, EPA 600/3–88/029, EPS 1/RM/45, ISO 11269-1, 11269-2, 17126, 18763, 29200, 22030, OECD-208, OECD-227, OCSPP 850.4100, 850.4230, 850.4800 OPPTS 850.4200. The existing standardize greenhouse lab environments, duration tests varies from hours months. parameters be analyzed after exposure include germination percentage, survival rate, root length, aerial part fresh mass exposed plants, phytotoxicity symptoms. addition, absorption rate substances genotoxic mutagenic also assessed. Therefore, data demonstrate represent an important tool analysis environmental risks associated serve crucial allies modern ecotoxicology.

Abstract The increasing market demand for flexible polyurethane foams (PUFs) is prompting the academic and industrial community to seek solutions their end‐of‐life management. In this study, issue addressed by incorporating β‐amino ester (BAE) moieties into foam structure. This addition results in hybrid PU‐BAE that can be thermally reprocessed chemically recycled, with cell sizes ranging from 780 990 µm densities between 90 150 kg m −3 . These demonstrate thermomechanical reprocessability, yielding stable elastomers, glass transition temperature values 14 25 °C. Stress relaxation experiments reveal remarkably fast times these elastomers (23 s at 160 °C). Furthermore, a systematic investigation of chemical recyclability via glycosylation conducted under mild conditions, achieving complete disintegration within 20 min 65 Finally, recycled product converted again, closed loop foam‐to‐foam recycling process. findings indicate integration BAE PUFs leads an enhanced rate, providing promising avenue addressing concerns PUF‐applications.

Abstract To reduce carbon footprint and human dependence on fossil fuels, the field of bio‐based polymers has undergone explosive growth in recent years. Among them, elastomers have gained tremendous attention for their inherent softness, high strain, resilience. In this review, progress representative derived from molecular building blocks biopolymers are recapitulated, with an emphasis design, synthesis approaches, mechanical performance. The performance‐advantaged properties elastomers, including immune modulation, biocompatibility, biodegradability also explored. Furthermore, biomedical applications wound dressing, cardiovascular, nerve repair, bone biosensors exemplified. Lastly, challenges outlooks development discussed. This review aims to offer readers valuable insights into potential as viable alternatives petroleum‐based counterparts, supporting transition toward a more sustainable future.

This study attempted to isolate and identify pedospheric microbes originating in dumpsites utilized them for the degradation of selected synthetic polymers first time a cost-effective, ecologically favorable sustainable manner. Specifically, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polyurethane (PUR) were converted by isolated fungi, i.e., Aspergillus flavus, A terreus, A. clavatus, nigers bacterial coccus filamentous assessed biotransformative assay under simulated conditions. Commendable biodegradative potentials exhibited against that analyzed over span 30 days. Among fungal microbes, highest activity was achieved niger, expressing 55% 40% conversion LDPE PUR, respectively. In case strains, 50% PUR coccus. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analyze degradative patterns terms vibrational thermal characteristics, stereomicroscopic performed visual assessment morphological variations. Profound structural transformations detected FT-IR spectra TGA thermograms microbes. Stereomicroscopic also indicative remarkable transformation surface morphology these after comparison reference samples not treated with any The results are supportive utilization as environmental remediators cleanup persistent polymeric toxins. current work can be further extended successful optimization augmented percentages using other adoption biotechnological tools at practical level.
