“…The gas-sensing behavior of the deposited metal oxide thin films was verified under exposure to selected volatile organic compounds in the 0–200 ppm range. Acetone, ethanol, and methanol were used due to their industrial [58] and biomedical applications [59,60]. The various concentration levels were obtained by utilization of mass flow controllers (MKS Instruments, Andover, MA, USA), Dreschel bottles (filled with pure solutions of VOCs), and controlled by mass spectrometer (HidenAnalytical, Warrington, United Kingdom), the gas-sampling system was previously described in [50].…”

Metal oxide thin films such as copper oxide, titanium dioxide, and tin dioxide deposited by magnetron sputtering technology were verified as a gas-sensitive layer in microwave-based gas sensors operated at 2.4 GHz. The developed gas sensors were tested at room temperature (23 °C) and 50% relative humidity (RH) under exposure to 0–200 ppm of selected volatile organic compounds (acetone, ethanol, and methanol) that are of high interest in industry and biomedical applications. The highest responses to acetone were obtained for CuO-based gas sensors, to ethanol for SnO2-based gas sensors, while for methanol detection both dioxides, SnO2 and TiO2, exhibited good sensitivity.

“…Use of suitable solvents (e.g. acetone; Remler, 1923) combined with a rinsing procedure (Miles et al, 1983) could provide a suitable means to remove residues. We note that such procedures have two key weaknesses (1) manual operations of this nature (see section 2.3) are onerous and time-consuming and do not offer a viable prospect at scale, and (2) waste products in the form of a mixture of acetone, water and nail varnish are generated.…”

“…10% of the average volume contained in nail varnish products) was pipetted into each bottle. Acetone was selected as the bottle cleaning agent because the main constituents of nail varnish are organic compounds and acetone is an effective organic solvent (Remler, 1923). Once the lid was firmly re-secured, the nail varnish bottle was shaken vigorously by hand for 30 seconds and the mixture decanted into the waste container.…”

As global consumption of nail varnish grows, quantities of packaging waste and residues will increase. End-of-use decisions for nail varnish have implications. Residues contain some hazardous substances, whilst packaging has potential for valorization. The extent of problems related to the disposal of end-of-use nail varnish products remains unclear. This study aimed to gain evidence to inform potential management measures. An inventory of hazardous substances in nail varnish products available in the UK was compiled to ascertain their potential for harm to the environment and/or human health. Discarded samples of end-of-use nail varnish products were then collected from volunteers in the UK to determine weights of packaging materials and residues. A parallel survey explored UK consumers’ means of disposal and opportunities for positive change. All the brands examined contained at least one hazardous substance; over a hundred hazardous substances were identified in total for the 24 samples audited. Hazards to human health were most common. On average, 7.2g of nail varnish remained in bottles at the point of disposal. Average weights for glass bottles and plastic lids/applicators were 28.5g and 5.6g, respectively. End-of-use products thus generate small quantities of residues and packaging, but the cumulative impacts are potentially substantial. Disposal of end-of-use products with general household waste was evident: this leads to contamination of non-hazardous waste and fails to valorize the materials lost. Collection schemes for end-of-use nail varnish offer a possible way forward, but would benefit from fuller understanding of the potential for consumer engagement.

“…Estimating the refractive index of acetone/water mixtures holds significance across various scientific disciplines due to the indispensability of organic solvents. These solvents play vital roles in chemistry, biology, pharmacology, and materials science, facilitating material extraction, suspension, and dissolution. , They serve as crucial reaction media in chemical operations, ensuring reactant dissolution, homogeneous reactions, and controlled reaction rates. Laboratories rely on solvents for tasks like dilution, chromatography, and sample preparation, while industrial settings utilize various organic solvents like isopropyl alcohol, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene for effective degreasing and cleaning processes …”

This paper presents the design and analysis of a one-dimensional defect layer photonic crystal (1D-DLPC) sensor for the assessment of the purity of chemical solvents with enhanced accuracy. Chemical solvents are frequently used in chemical processes as reaction mediums. It is essential to ascertain its purity since impurities can significantly affect the outcome of the reaction. The structure of the proposed one-dimensional defect layer photonic crystal sensor consists of a defect layer sandwiched between alternate layers of ZnO and SiO 2 organized with a certain periodicity. It has been shown that the localized defect modes inside the structure can detect minute refractive index changes based on the degree of impurity of chemical solvents. Simulation studies have been performed through the transfer matrix method (TMM) and the performance of the design is evaluated using several metrics such as sensitivity, full width at half-maximum, figure of merit, quality factor, and dynamic range. Results indicate that the designed one-dimensional defect layer photonic crystal sensor has a significantly high efficiency and is suitable for detecting impure solvents.
