As the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, oxygen is vital to produce ATP
in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. In most vertebrates, the absence of oxygen …

The article examines the integration of resource efficiency into the European Ecodesign
Directive. The purpose is to analyse the processes and stakeholder interactions, which …

The European Union has initiated a number of initiatives to improve resource efficiency in
Europe. The Ecodesign Directive is one of the policy instruments that could aid the transition …

Oxygen (O2) is required for aerobic energy metabolism but can produce reactive oxygen
species (ROS), which are a wide variety of oxidant molecules with a range of biological …

This article aims to shed light on how organizations implement environmental objectives in
ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management Systems (EMSs), an issue that has been …

ATP depletion and succinate accumulation during ischemia lead to oxidative damage to
mammalian organs upon reperfusion. In contrast, freshwater turtles survive weeks of anoxia …

Mitochondria provide cellular energy through oxidative phosphorylation, and thus
temperature-induced constraints on mitochondrial function may be crucial to animal aerobic …

Freshwater turtles (Trachemys scripta) are among the very few vertebrates capable of
tolerating severe hypoxia and re-oxygenation without suffering from damage to the heart. As …

In Denmark, the targets of the WEEE Directive are primarily met through recycling, even
though waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) could be prepared for reuse with …

Material efficiency is a new field within the Ecodesign Directive. To support its
implementation, standardisation mandate M/543 was issued with the aim of developing …
