Report No: 343: Elucidating levels and pathways of human exposure in Ireland to brominated flame retardants and perfluoroalkyl substances, ELEVATE project highlights video
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2020-09-25)
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used extensively in applications such as electrical goods, soft furnishings and building insulation foam. The ELEVATE project generated ...
Report No: 343: Elucidating levels and pathways of human exposure in Ireland to brominated flame retardants and perfluoroalkyl substances
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2020-09-25)
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have found extensive use in consumer applications such as electrical and electronic goods, soft furnishings, and building insulation foam to impart ...

Phasing-out of legacy brominated flame retardants: The UNEP Stockholm Convention and other legislative action worldwide
(Elsevier, 2020-08-18)
Due to their toxicity and persistence, several families of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) have been listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Stockholm Convention, a multilateral treaty overseen by the ...
Sea-spray regulates sulfate cloud droplet activation over oceans
(Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2020-04-08)
Sulfate aerosols are typically the dominant source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) over remote oceans and their abundance is thought to be the dominating factor in determining oceanic cloud brightness. Their activation ...
Concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in human milk from Ireland: temporal trends and implications for nursing infant exposure
(OAE Publishing Inc, 2021-11-19)
Aim: The elucidation of temporal trends in human exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 17
polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) since the previous Irish human milk surveys and to
evaluate the ...
Simple characterization scheme for optical coherence tomography systems with application to a commercial and a near-isometric resolution fibre-based system
(2021-12-14)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a rapidly
growing imaging modality in biomedical optics. OCT can perform
high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging of the microstructure of
biological tissues by measuring the coherent ...
Nanosensitive optical coherence tomography to assess wound healing within the cornea
(Optical Society of America, 2020-05-01)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive depth resolved optical imaging modality, that enables high resolution, cross-sectional imaging in biological tissues and materials at clinically relevant depths. Though ...
