This study investigates for the first time contamination of water and sediment Venice Lagoon by twenty Contaminants Emerging Concern (CECs): three hormones, six pharmaceutical compounds (diclofenac five antibiotics, which are macrolides), nine pesticides (methiocarb, oxadiazon, metaflumizone, triallate, neonicotinoids), one antioxidant (BHT), UV filter (EHMC). Water samples were collected in seven sites four seasons, with aim investigating occurrence, distribution, possible emission sources...
The convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology has led to substantial advancements in nano-biomaterials (NBMs) used medical devices (MD) advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP). However, there are concerns that applications NBMs for diagnostics, therapeutics regenerative medicine could also pose health and/or environmental risks since the current understanding their safety is incomplete. A scientific strategy therefore needed assess all emerging along life cycles these products. To...
Abstract Societal concerns about the environmental risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have recently increased, but nano‐ecological risk assessments are constrained by significant gaps in basic information on long‐term effects and exposures, for example. An approach to ecological assessment ENMs is proposed that can operate context high uncertainty. This further develops species sensitivity weighted distribution (SSWD) including 3 weighting criteria (species relevance, trophic level...
Nanotechnologies have been increasingly used in industrial applications and consumer products across several sectors, including construction, transportation, energy, healthcare. The widespread application of these technologies has raised concerns regarding their environmental, health, societal, economic impacts. This led to the investment enormous resources Europe beyond into development tools facilitate risk assessment management nanomaterials, inform more robust governance process. In this...
Abstract Elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) in children still represent a major public health problem worldwide. In China, children’s (Pb) exposure assessment constitutes priority issue for research, also due to the scarce availability of human biomonitoring data and limited detailed assessments outside urban areas. This work aims analyze impact by exploiting modeling approaches identify most relevant Pb sources routes 0–7-year-old historical Pb–Zn smelter site Yunnan province (southwestern...
Nanotechnology provides innovative and promising solutions for the conservation of cultural heritage, but development application new nano-enabled products pose concerns regarding their human health environmental risks. To address these issues, we propose a sustainability framework implementing Safe by Design concept to support product developers in early steps development, with aim provide safer nano-formulations conservation, while retaining functionality. In addition, this can assessment...
Climate scenarios produce climate change-related information and data at a geographical scale generally not useful for coastal planners to study impacts locally. To provide suitable characterization of climate-related hazards in the North Adriatic Sea coast, model chain, with progressively higher resolution was developed implemented. It includes Global Regional Circulation Models representing atmospheric oceanic dynamics global sub-continental domains, hydrodynamic/wave models analyze...
