SURFACE FUNCTIONALIZATION AND SIZE MODULATE THE FORMATION OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES AND GENOTOXIC EFFECTS OF CELLULOSE NANOFIBRILS

Surface functionalization and size modulate the formation of reactive oxygen species and genotoxic effects of cellulose nanofibrils

Abstract Background Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have emerged as a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for a broad range of applications.The fibrous nature and high biopersistence of CNFs call for a thorough toxicity assessment, but it is presently unclear which physico-chemical properties could play a role in determining the potential

The Ozone Layer and Metered Dose Inhalers

The stratospheric ozone layer plays a crucial role in protecting living organisms against ultraviolet radiation.Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) contained in metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) contribute to ozone depletion and in accordance with the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer established 10 years ago, phase-out strageies have b
