Leaching characteristics, toxicity and adsorption capacities of micro-plastic beads by Yong, Rachel Jie Ying

“…Past studies have shown that not only are plastics a source of chemical contaminants to environment, but also a sink of organic pollutions in the environment. Typically, polymers and plasticizers can be released from plastics into the aquatic environment, which might then be directly ingested by humans via usage of plastic products. …”

Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. This gap could be further reduced by increasing the number of outer bolts and by reducing tolerance between adapter and column walls.…”

Impact of interannual and multidecadal trends on methane-climate feedbacks and sensitivity by Cheng, Chin-Hsien, Redfern, Simon Anthony Turner

“…Interannually, increased emissions via positive feedbacks (e.g. wetland emissions and wildfires) with higher land surface air temperature (LSAT) are often followed by increasing CCH4 due to weakened methane sink via atmospheric •OH, via negative feedbacks with lowered sea surface temperatures (SST), especially in the tropics. …”
