Utilization of the zebrafish model to unravel the harmful effects of biomass burning during Amazonian wildfires
Abstract Amazonian wildfires in 2019 have raised awareness about rainforest burning due to increased emissions of particulate matter and carbon. In the context of these emissions, by-products of lignin thermal degradation (i.e. methoxyphenols) are often neglected. Methoxyphenols entering the atmosph...
