This knowledge has already found its way into the contents of academic teaching programs in medical schools and postgraduate courses (e.g. in molecular epidemiology, neurosciences, personalized medicine). In contrast, the other major and modifiable dimension of pathogenesis, the influence of ...
Ocular exposure might occur from ENMs that are airborne, intentionally placed near the eye (e.g., cosmetics), accidently splashed onto the eye, or by transfer from the hands during rubbing of the eyes, which was shown to occur in 37% of 124 adults every hour [107]. This route of expos...
3. The Struggle of Data Availability Unexpectedly, in spite of the constantly increasing number of scientific resources from diverse nanosafety programs, only a relatively small number of datasets (Table 1), such as those published by Puzyn et al. [28] and Gajewicz et al. [22], are ...
Apart from the toxicity that these molecules can cause in humans and livestock, PA are also known for their wide range of pharmacological properties, which can be exploited in drug discovery programs. In this work we review the current body of knowledge regarding the chemistry, toxicology, ...

African aerosols were sampled at crossroads near the traffic and in two cities exhibiting different emission sources and geographical characteristics. Both cities, like the rest of African capitals, have rapid population grown (5% per year), which is known to be an important factor influencing pollut...
Huge programs on design of analogs of avarol group of drugs on a majority happened during 1985 and 1995 because quinones and hydroquinones have interested pharmacologists for many decades with surprising bioaction. The first obtained analogs of this natural compound came via semisynthesis only, but...
(Egeghy et al.2016). In biomonitoring programs, usually the parent compounds or their metabolites are measured in urine (LaKind et al.2019). Such measurements are per nature highly variable due to the fast elimination of non-persistent chemicals from the body. The US-EPA (Breen et al.2021...
Wastewater surveillance can also be integrated into public works and facility-level monitoring programs. Testing wastewater at a regular frequency allows analysis of geographical and temporal trends of drug concentrations to map the evolution of an epidemic in a cost-effective, equitable manner, ...
