Scientists have developed a fast and sensitive method for detecting unknown substances capable of damaging DNA in everyday products. This new approach allows for more effective identification of hazardous compounds even in complex mixtures, and can be used for routine quality control of products and water.
Microplastics, when exposed to sunlight, release complex chemical compounds that can quietly spread through bodies of water and potentially impact ecosystems. Recent studies highlight the importance of considering these dissolved substances when assessing environmental risks.
Scientists have developed a faster and more environmentally friendly method for detecting hazardous chemicals in food products, which increases the accuracy and efficiency of food safety monitoring. This new approach could improve the quality and safety of food production.
