If people eat the polluted shellfish, the marine contaminants will come into the body of people through food chain, thus damage will be caused for human body. The heavy metal elements mainly are Hg, Cd, Pb, 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 ...
Metals are important from two points of view: for their toxicity and for their essentiality. Cu, Fe and Zn, for example, are essential metals that can cause toxic effects at high-concentration intakes. Other metals can be classified as potentially toxic, as well as Pb, Cd and Hg, when ...
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 ...
MT can enhance pepper tolerance to heavy metals by activating its antioxidant system and increasing the expression of cycling-related genes in the ascorbate-glutathione pathway (AsA-GSH) [38]. Our research demonstrated that heat stress led to an increase in the levels of MDA, H2O2, and O2−...
Humic substances can adsorb organic and inorganic molecules and form stable complexes, e.g., with metals such as Fe(III), Al(III), or Cu(II). A main feature is the possibility of incorporating inorganic or organic molecules into the humic network. That means that reactions with non-humic ...
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...
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 ...
All these substances can aid anti-glaucoma therapy by providing metabolic support for the cells involved in glaucomatous injury. Indeed, it is known that the food we eat is able to change our gene expression. Keywords: oxidative damage; primary open angle glaucoma; cell cultures; trabecular ...
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...
