Plastic pollution in terrestrial environments is a growing concern, with an increasing focus on the impact of plastic additives on soil ecosystems. We evaluated the impact of additives from conventional plastics (ACP) and biodegradable plastics (ABP) on the soil nematode, Pratylenchus neglectus. The additives represented five functional classes (antioxidants, colourants, flame retardants, nucleating agents, and plasticisers).

- - The study explores how polishing 3D-printed titanium (Ti) electrode substrates before anodisation affects the formation of TiO nanotube arrays, which are used for photoelectrocatalytic treatment of hard-to-degrade pollutants like organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs).
- - Differences in surface morphology were observed, with polished electrodes showing more uniform nanotubes and handling water differently, but both polished and non-polished electrodes had similar electrochemical performance.
- - The effectiveness of degrading OPFRs was significantly influenced by the purity of the water used, with purified water improving degradation rates compared to tap water, indicating that electrode preparation might not be essential for effective treatment.
Background: Hypertension increases the risk of lymphedema in patients with comorbidities, but whether hypertension directly compromises lymph vessel (LV) function and lymph flow is unclear. We compared the contractions of mesenteric LVs ex vivo and lymph flow in vivo between normotensive and Ang II (angiotensin II)-induced hypertensive rats and explored the ionic basis of contractile patterns. Key studies were recapitulated in spontaneously hypertensive rats and control Wistar-Kyoto rats.
