Hermetic storage technologies preserve maize seed quality and minimize grain quality loss in smallholder farming systems in Mexico by Odjo, Sylvanus, Palacios Rojas, Natalia, Burgueño, Juan, Corrado, Marina, Ortner, Tim, Verhulst, Nele

“…On average, the germination capacity of seed stored using non-hermetic technologies (polypropylene bags with or without insecticide or lime) dropped 56% at lowland sites, as compared to 2.8% for seed stored using hermetic metal silos or hermetic bags. Airtight technologies also minimized quality losses by reducing metabolic activities. …”

The impact of phosphorus and temperature on the toxicity of zinc on benthic diatom by Ström, Josabeth

“…The current index, IPS, developed for benthic diatoms and used for assigning the ecological status of streams in Sweden reflects on levels of nutrients and organic pollution. Metals are not considered in the index, which leads to the risk that metal contaminated streams can be assigned a high ecological status based on this index. …”
