Poisons include highly toxic chemicals not meant for human ingestion or contact, such as cyanide, paint thinners, or household cleaning products. Many poisons, however, are substances meant for humans to eat, including foods and medicines. Foods Some mushrooms are poisonous Drinking water contaminated...
“Styrofoam” was born and picked up quickly because it was 30x lighter and more flexible than Polystyrene used to be. 2. Is Expanded Polystyrene Foam recyclable? Polystyrene foam is only recyclable incertain instances. For example, the polystyrene foam must be clean before it is processed. Unf...
Additionally, we gained deep insight into the genomic responses of cardiomyocytes as they relate to mitochondrial toxicity, programmed cell death, inflammation and toxic cardiomyopathy that is orchestrated, at least in part, by Abl1 transcriptional cofactor activity....
PVC, polyethylene (PE), polybutadiene (PBD), silicone rubber (SR), styrene–butadiene copolymer (SBC), styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (SBS), polystyrene (PS) Plasticizers: Tris (2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TOTM), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) Catheters: Radiopaque polyurethane For the 480...
Many investigations have linked synthetic ingredients and their properties to common health hazards. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and antimony trioxide, used as flame retardants in various plastics, can be bioaccumulative and toxic to both humans and the environment (Monneret, 2017; Schildroth...
ELISA was performed by coat- ing 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates with the specific antibody. After blocking, standards and sam- ples were and the plates were incubated overnight at 4 °C. A specific biotinylated antibody was added to all wells and incubated for 1 h at room temperature...
inhibitory neuromodulators, such as allopregnanolone and adenosine [75,76]. Taken together, the present data suggest that inflammation-induced suppression of EEG activity is mediated by a combination of activation of anti-excitotoxic mediators as well as reduced complexity of the neuronal ...
(iii) food web transfer21. Toxic effects in marine organisms and potential carcinogenic effects in humans have been highlighted for PAEs22, OPEs23, and BPs24, as well as plastic leachate mixtures25,26. These compounds are not chemically bound to the polymer and the release of their water-...
(PLA), which is used in food packaging, clothing fibers and medical implants (it can be biodegradable, but not in all contexts); polystyrene, which is used in foam packaging peanuts, egg cartons and electrical insulators; and polypropylene, which can be used in making...
Plastic has become indispensable for human life. When plastic debris is discarded into waterways, these items can interact with organisms. Of particular concern are microscopic plastic particles (microplastics) which are subject to ingestion by several t
