A high proportion of red snapper sold in North Carolina is mislabeled.

Seafood mislabeling occurs when a market label is inaccurate, primarily in terms of species identity, but also regarding weight, geographic origin, or other characteristics. This widespread problem allows cheaper or illegally-caught species to be marketed as species desirable to consumers. Previous studies have identified red snapper () as one of the most frequently mislabeled seafood species in the United States.

First-Principles and Thermodynamics Study of Compositionally Tuned Complex Metal Oxides: Cation Release from the (001) Surface of Mn-Rich Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide.

Compositional tuning of nanoscale complex metal oxides (CMOs) can lead to enhanced performance and favorable properties for a variety of energy-related applications. However, investigations of the nanoscale CMOs used in energy storage technologies demonstrate that these nanomaterials may have an adverse biological impact, highlighting a fundamental knowledge gap between nanomaterial design and the structure and properties at the end of life. CMO nanomaterials can enter the environment due to improper disposal, where they undergo subsequent (as of yet poorly understood) nanoscale transformations that may affect biological response and, ultimately, environmental fate.

Dissolution of Complex Metal Oxides from First-Principles and Thermodynamics: Cation Removal from the (001) Surface of Li(NiMnCo)O.

The rapid increase in use of Li-ion batteries in portable electronics has created a pressing need to understand the environmental impact and long-term fate of electonic waste (e-waste) products such as heavy and/or reactive metals. The type of e-waste that we focus on here are the complex metal oxide nanomaterials that compose Li-ion battery cathodes. While in operation the complex metal oxides are in a hermetically sealed container.
