They work by creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface, reducing water loss and sealing in moisture. Moisturizers come in various forms, such as creams, lotions, or oils. ...
This structural feature gives bile acids strong interfacial activity and becomes a strong emulsifier, which can reduce the interfacial tension between oil/water phases, emulsify lipids into fine microclusters, increase the attachment area of lipids and lipase, and facilitate the digestion of lipids. The digestion products of lipids can in turn combine with bile acid salts and ...
Co-financing of R&D projects that will be implemented in the form of industrial research and/or experimental development and are related to managing the consequences of COVID-19. We have completed Phase 1 of the »Razvojno – raziskovalni projekti za odpravo posledic COVID-19« project, which was financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union from the European ...

With this approach we can reduce antibiotic and medicine residues in surface water. However, the largest part of the residues of medicines in wastewater comes from ‘regular’ households. Calculations by the Dutch National Institute for Health and the Environment (RIVM) show for instance that every year in the Netherlands at least 190,000 kg of medicine ...
The pharmaceuticals (such as drugs) mostly get into the surface and drinking water through the excretions of humans and animals; however, the wastewater of pharmaceutical production facilities can also be contaminated with active ingredients. ...
But researchers say a new adsorbent membrane shows promise for purifying PPCP-contaminated water. Health Threats of PPCPs PPCP contamination has grown along with higher living standards and is now reaching detectable levels in surface water and groundwater worldwide. ...
LG Sonic ultrasound technology uses specific low power ultrasonic sound waves, which are harmless to fish and other aquatic life, but effectively control algal blooms in large water surfaces. Need for a new approach towards sea lice The objective of this research project is to develop an environmentally friendly solution for monitoring and controlling sea lice ...
Ultrasound can be used in both fresh water surfaces such as lakes, drinking water reservoirs, and irrigation basins, as well as in maritime environments. ...
A literature search was conducted in order to review: (1) methods used for investigating the effects of public drinking water on GI; (2) evidence of possible dose–response relationship between sporadic GI and drinking water consumption; and (3) association between sporadic GI and factors affecting drinking water quality. ...
After rain events in densely populated areas, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can have severe health-related effects upon surface water quality, as well as diffuse overland runoff and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). All of these sources emit pathogens and fecal indicator bacteria into the surface water, which the EU ...
Wildlife can be exposed to human pharmaceuticals via prey that have accumulated the compounds from wastewater, surface water, sediment and soil. One factor affecting internal absorption of pharmaceuticals is bioaccessibility, the proportion of the compound that enters solution in the gastrointestinal tract. ...
The release of antimicrobial substances into surface waters is of growing concern due to direct toxic effects on all trophic levels and the promotion of antibiotic resistance through sub-inhibitory concentration levels. ...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging contaminants that have been found ubiquitously in wastewater and surface waters around the world. A major source of these compounds is incomplete metabolism in humans and subsequent excretion in human waste, resulting in discharge into surface waters by wastewater ...
To assess the effect of wastewater effluent on a river which flows through a Swedish city, sediment and water samples were collected from Stångån River, both upstream and downstream of an adjacent WWTP over three months. ...
Acinetobacter in surface waters are a major concern because of their rapid development of resistance to a wide range of antimicrobials and their ability to persist in these waters for a very long time. Four surface water isolates of Acinetobacter having both multidrug- and multimetal-resistant ability were ...
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) strains found in selected South African (SA) surface waters were characterised to establish what HAV types are circulating in the environment, thus reflecting circulation in the surrounding communities. Surface water samples used for irrigation or domestic purposes, and water samples ...
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), some of which have endocrine disrupting effects at environmentally relevant concentrations, have been detected in many surface waters. We evaluated the effects of two common endocrine disrupting PPCPs on the life history traits of the snail, Physa pomilia, using a life table response experiment with snails ...
The main objective of this study was to determine the genomic copy concentrations of human adenoviruses F and G, Rotavirus (RV), Hepatitis A virus (HAV), Hepatitis E virus (HEV) and human adenovirus species A,C,D,E, and F (HAdV-ACDEF) in Bwaise III, a typical slum in Kampala, Uganda. Forty-one samples from surface water, grey water and ground ...
Incorporating weather forecasts in the control of land surface water levels requires predictions of the net inflow to the water system. ...
