Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of synthetic halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons that were widely used in industry and manufacturing. Due to their resistance to degradation and highly lipophilic nature, PCBs persist in the environment and bioaccumulate in organisms, adversely affecting a ...
Improving risk assessment by considering the cumulative health impacts of exposure to multiple chemicals, thus correcting the underestimation of risk that results from the single-chemical approach; Improving public health by reducing exposure to many chemicals of concern at once; Increasing efficiency and...

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are recognized as emerging contaminants, especially in food, with unknown health significance. MNPs passing through the gastrointestinal tract have been brought in context with disruption of the gut microbiome. Several molecular mechanisms have been described to facilitate t...

The human health impacts of pesticides can happen through one of three routes: ingestion, inhalation and skin contact that occur through the handling of pesticide products. It is worth noting that pesticides enter the water by runoff or by leaching. There are two major biological mechanisms that ...
The knowledge on impacts of PCBs contaminated transformer oil on human health and environment was better among NEA employees than among employees of welding workshops, though not satisfactory. Due to very low awareness, the workers come in contact with the transformer oil regularly and many health ...
Immune systems, geographic information systems (GIS), environment and health impactsdoi:10.1080/10937400490512375Exposure to dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been related to alterations in cellular and humoral immune responses in both adaptive and ...
His studies also led to greater awareness of the environmental and health impacts of indiscriminate chemical use, driving further research into safer pesticide alternatives and their interactions with ecosystems. The uncontrolled use of DDT (14) led to its accumulation and persistence in the environment...
Therefore, it is important to understand those ecological factors such as effects of ecosystem services, environmental hazards and its related impacts on the eco-environments and food systems to our human health, plus health threats being strained by HAEI. The ultimate goals of ecological public ...
