Abstract: Established in 1947, the International Organization for Standardization is a non-governmental federation of national standards bodies from 157 countries worldwide, one from each country. ISO’s work results in international agreements which are published as International Standards. The first ISO standard was published in 1951 with the title ‘Standard reference temperature for industrial length measurement’.

TL;DR: Soils from the contaminated site decreased microbial processes and earthworm reproduction; whereas plant growth was not significantly reduced, and the global toxicity might have partially resulted from HMX as well as from other contaminants such as heavy metals.

Effect of Cu-nanoparticles versus one Cu-salt: analysis of stress biomarkers response in Enchytraeus albidus (Oligochaeta).
Susana I. L. Gomes,Sara C. Novais,Carlos Gravato,Lúcia Guilhermino,Janeck J. Scott-Fordsmand,Amadeu M.V.M. Soares,Mónica J.B. Amorim +6 more
TL;DR: Results showed that both salt- and nano-copper caused oxidative stress and damage to E. albidus, as confirmed by LPO levels, and effects could be discriminated between the copper forms, but there was no single or a set of biomarkers that provided the best discrimination.
