Background: Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are vital for addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, yet their benefits are often unequally distributed. This study introduces the Environmental Health Citizen Interview Tool, aiming to inclusively capture diverse perspectives on environmental wellbeing using qualitative research methods. The principles of epistemic justice and planetary health are central to its development.

This stress was found to increase the content of phospholipids cha- racteristic for the membrane outer layer (phosphatidilcholine by 13 % and sphingomyelin by 23 %). At the same time a decrease in the content of acid phospholipids belonging to membrane inner layer was ob- served (phosphatidylethanolamine by 16 %, phosphatidyl serine by 14 % and monophosphoinositide by 23 %).

It is found that the phospholipid spectrum of erythrocytes of the lamprey, the oldest representative of vertebrates, is similar to that of many mammals. A four-fold prevalence of phosphatidilcholine content over sphingomyelin content as well as prevalence of (ω3-acids over ω6-acids indicates the <
