Additionally, macrophage aggregate number correlated with PCB levels in carp from Lake Allegan (r = 0.9068, p = 0.0337). Carp hepatopancreas macrophage aggregate pigments were primarily composed of lipofuscin and ceroid. This research indicates that carp are responding to PCB exposure, and that ...

impacts cause the soil system to become compromised or overloaded thereby limiting a soil’s ability to filter or transform naturally occurring chemicals (e.g., N and P) or organic wastes and industrial chemicals, all of which can have negative impacts on ecosystem and human health (Galloway ...
or PLA. Manufacturers will often describe it as “made out of corn starch” which is true, but it’s still plastic and there’s a lot we don’t yet know about it’s potential environmental and health impacts. I’d say it’s
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants emitted during e-waste activities. Upon release into the environment, PCBs can pose harm

We identified four areas of debate. The first is about the definitions for terms such as “endocrine disrupting chemical”, “adverse effects”, and “endocrine system”. The second is focused on elements of hormone action including “potency”, “endpoints”, “timing”, “dose” and “...
Cell death can be executed through different subroutines. Since the description of ferroptosis as an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death in 2012, there has been mounting interest in the process and function of ferroptosis. Ferroptosis can occ

risk characterisation would rely on a qualitative approach. This involves a systematic collection and analysis of available information on the environmental and health impacts of MNPs. Key considerations should include those highlighted here, such as their interaction with biological systems, persistence in...
