ABSTRACT: The surging demand for metal-based products in various industries has highlighted the critical need ensuring their safety and minimizing environmental impact. This review article delves into how collaboration between toxicology materials science can be used as a strategic approach to improve sustainability of products. By amalgamating insights from toxicological evaluations advancements science, this interdisciplinary framework aims revolutionize development production metal goods. Through toxicology, assessment detrimental effects compounds on human strength environment is conducted, providing valuable data inform research innovation. leveraging integrated approach, manufacturers optimize material selection, manufacturing processes, product design create safer more sustainable that meet both performance requirements standards. Continuous knowledge sharing toxicologists scientists hold key driving ongoing innovation advancing next-generation prioritize health well-being.

Price hikes, stringent emission regulations and the global demand for sustainable energy use have forced fuel researchers vehicle manufacturers to explore fuels internal combustion engines. In recent years, exploration of waste‐to‐energy (WtE) derivations has attracted increasing interest. This study explored derivation pyrolysis oil from three waste biomasses: macadamia nutshell (WMN; integrifolia ), tree mulch (WTM) marine biomass (WMB; Undaria pinnatifida ). The biomass‐derived oils were characterised by key properties with a target recommend them as in Simultaneous detailed characterisation unique not been widely examined reported earlier literature. All tested compared those American Society Testing Materials (ASTM), European (EN), Australian diesel EN biodiesel standards. aligned Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) data indicate that all contain aliphatic (alkanes alkenes) aromatic (mono‐, di‐ polyaromatic) compounds. Among biomasses, maximum 53% bio‐oil was produced WTM, followed 52% MNS 44% WMB. cetane index, density, viscosity boiling range comparable traditional It is interesting note WTM showed highest index 55 among However, other properties, including sulphur, carbon ash content, need upgradation before they can be used replacement
