As the tailings mixed acids, alkalis, suspended substances, heavy metals, sulfur-based minerals beneficiation and other pharmaceutical [4], tailings case of rain can easily be washed away with rain water flowing into farmland, rivers, groundwater contamination, affecting the surrounding farmland irr ...
the general name given to certain substances that possess no nutritional properties and are used to improve the taste and aroma of food. Flavoring substances include spices, such as mustard, pepper, clove, bay leaf, caraway, dill, cardamom, ginger, vanilla, and cinnamon; food acids, such as ...
Nevertheless, exposure during early life stages can still be relatively high in comparison to adults' exposure. Longitudinal studies that follow the same individuals through infancy and childhood to investigate this time window more closely are rare though. In total, we are aware of three published ...
Also, farmed poultry and livestock are the primary sources of pathogenic bacteria that are often associated with human infections. Pathogenic bacteria can be “transferred” from infected or contaminated meat and become part of the food chain. Cross-contamination of foodborne pathogens in the retail ...
Through different pathways, PFASs can enter the environment; moreover, these compounds do not readily degrade under natural conditions, with consequent bioaccumulation over time and increasing persistence within all aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems [5,6,7,8]. Evidence demonstrates that PFASs can ...
SERS mainly involves the use of the rough metal surfaces or metallic nanoparticles through special preparation. Optical properties of the metal nanostructures are the central topic of plasmonics. Different active substrates have different enhancement effects on the samples. The material itself, the shape...
From this point of view, wastewater treatments are fundamental steps for clean water supply after domestic/industrial use. The concern about the presence of highly polluting compounds produced in human activity (i.e., heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, herbicides, phenols, dioxins, Polycyclic Aromatic ...
Abstract: Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are an environmentally persistent group of chemicals that can pose an imminent threat to human health through groundwater and surface water contamination. In this review, we evaluate the subsurface behavior of a variety of PFAS chemicals with...
Introduction Pharmaceutical compounds constitute one of the largest groups among organic micropollutants that are present in the aquatic environment [1]. Municipal effluents into which these compounds are transported along with waste products from people taking them, inappropriately utilized expired or unused...
The term 'cell probe' means that cells are immobilized on the tip of an AFM cantilever. With this AFM cantilever, interactions between cells and the substratum can be quantified precisely [20–23]. By using a cell probe in our previous work we measured the adhesion forces between chalcopyrite...
