Biodegradable polymers are proposed as a potential solution to environmental problems related plastic pollution. Potential benefits have been suggested in applications such agricultural mulching and fishing gear, where there can be considerable difficulty recovering products from the environment at end of their service life. Biodegradation is complex process influenced by both properties material receiving which it needs biodegrade. Assessing degradation necessitates chemical composition...
Abstract Synthetic textiles are constituents of heritage objects and garments often displayed in museum collections or preserved archives, presenting unprecedented specific conservation challenges. These issues need to be addressed assessing degradation processes, developing targeted restoration preventive practices. The present work aims at characterizing the composition high fashion design by Nanni Strada conserved archives Design Studio (Milan). To identify chemical fibers used for...
Applying sewage sludge to improve soil, irrigated with wastewater, and grew crops inside polyethylene greenhouses in Tunisia, could introduce potential sources of microplastic pollution. To the best knowledge, there is no data about occurrence microplastics Tunisian farm soils which led study role agricultural activities on pollution (MPs). The present examined practices as a source by sampling typical province named Moknine located center Tunisia characterized intensive use plastics mulches...
