Tough Zoloft Shows Green Catalysts Still Need Fine Tuning

Monday, September 12, 2011 - 06:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Green catalysts such as iron TAML show great potential. Working at very low concentrations, they speed up H2O2's oxidation of nasty estrogen-imitators and carcinogens like 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. Moreover the catalysts don't seem to be trouble-makers themselves because so often one environmental solution spins off a new set of problems. Rather, three TAML activators do not interfere with gene expression in mammals by not binding to their thyroid, androgen, or estrogen hormone receptors.read more
