quired and consent identification. One main characteristic of the database is its transparency in reporting to enable individual assessment of data appropriateness and to support the plurality in methodological approaches. Outlook. Further work on the ecoinvent database may comprise work on the database content (new or more detailed datasets covering existing or new economic sectors), LCI (modelling) methodology, the structure and features of the database system (e.g. extension of Monte Carlo simulation to the impact assessment phase) or improvements in ecoinvent data supply and data query. Furthermore, the deepening and building up of international co-operations in LCI data collection and supply is in the focus of future activities.
Graphene and its derivatives are
heralded as “miracle” materials with manifold applications
in different sectors of society from electronics to energy storage
to medicine. The increasing exploitation of graphene-based materials
(GBMs) necessitates a comprehensive evaluation of the potential impact
of these materials on human health and the environment. Here, we discuss
synthesis and characterization of GBMs as well as human and environmental
hazard assessment of GBMs using in vitro and in vivo model systems with the aim to understand the properties
that underlie the biological effects of these materials; not all GBMs
are alike, and it is essential that we disentangle the structure–activity
relationships for this class of materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
