Particles and fibres affect human health as a function of their properties such as chemical composition, size and shape but also depending on complex interactions in an organism that occur at various levels between particle uptake and target organ responses. While particulate pollution is one of the...

wastewater treatment, which is in many countries ultimately deployed onto soils. It was estimated that approximately 36% of TiO2NP emissions occur via this pathway. A lower portion of the sewage sludge is deposited onto landfills directly or after incineration which equals approximately 30% of total...
i.e. inorganic NP might occur at high levels in natural soils and form a substantial background contamination, which can be overcome with the help of modelling, those data are likely of higher field relevance. In natural soils, for instance, microorganisms, inorganic and organic particles might...
Mice exposed orally to 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone showed signs of hepatotoxicity from bioaccumulation in liver tissue along with disorders of lipid metabolism and inflammatory immune response due to gene upregulation, suggesting potential health risks to mammals (Fang et al., 2023). The toxicity of tire...
Yet, microplastic ingestion, translocation, and bioaccumulation have consequences for animal health and well-being. The pollution level is influenced by the pollution concentration in the zone where aquatic organisms experience growth. The detrimental effects of microplastics and chemicals on human health ...
