Bisphenol A

The Member State Committee (MSC) supported the French proposal to additionally identify Bisphenol A as a substance of very high concern because of its endocrine disrupting properties which cause probable serious effects to human health. The committee also agreed to identify the substance PFHxS as an more

New types of membrane adsorbers remove unwanted particles from water and also, at the same time, dissolved substances such as the hormonally active bis-phenol A or toxic lead. To do this, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB imbed selective adsorb more

A waste product from making paper could yield a safer, greener alternative to the potentially harmful chemical BPA, now banned from baby bottles but still used in many plastics. Scientists made the BPA alternative from lignin, the compound that gives wood its strength, and they say it could be ready more

Coal fly ash (CFA) was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by chemical vapor deposition. Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) were successfully purified by sequential treatment in 5% HF and then in a dil. HNO3/H2SO4 mixture, as was show more
