Abstract:
... Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is now recognised as a serious global health and economic threat that is most efficiently managed via a ‘one health’ approach incorporating environmental risk assessment. Although the environmental dimension of ABR has been largely overlooked, recent studies have underlined the importance of non-clinical settings in the emergence and spread of resistant strains. Despite ...

Abstract:
... Spain occupies a very prominent position as a world producer of gypsum. Consequently, the industrial processes are more refined, as the production volumes of the factories are much higher than in other countries. Therefore, the environmental impacts of the production of one ton of gypsum are significantly lower. However, new cleaner alternatives must be studied to promote more sustainable construc ...
