Anaerobic digestion or “methanisation” is the use of microorganisms to break down organic matter under controlled conditions and in the absence of oxygen. In general, the process pursues two recycling-for-energy goals: one by recovering methane…

N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) is mainly used as monomer in the production of polyvinylpyrrolidone or copolymers. Percutaneous absorption is an important source of exposure in the work environment. However, literature on this route of absorption…

Ethyl to octyl esters of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acids (2,4DAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-propionic acids (2,4DPA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-butyric acids (2,4DBA) are present in the most commonly used herbicides. Their use involves a significant risk…

Determining the intensity of the absorption flux of industrial toxic substances is necessary to define the risk related to exposure via the skin. Structure-activity relationships make it possible to estimate the absorption flux of numerous…
