La ecotoxicología es la disciplina científica que estudia el efecto de las sustancias y compuestos químicos sobre los ecosistemas. Una característica de esta disciplina es que los conocimientos científicos y las tec...

Ecotoxicology is the study of the effects and fate of contaminant substances on ecosystems. It aims to determine if there is an ecological risk by comparing the concentration that produces toxic effects with the environm...

Multiple epidemiological studies across countries have linked exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with adverse reproductive outcomes; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely characterized. In...

Abstract Humans are exposed to thousands of chemicals throughout their life. Many of these chemicals are detected in blood and have been catalogued in the Blood Exposome Database. Comprehensive hazard assessment of a che...

Non-genotoxic carcinogens are substances that induce tumorigenesis by non-mutagenic mechanisms and long term rodent bioassays are required to identify them. Recent studies have shown that transcription profiling can be a...

Abstract Background Society aims for a pollutant-free environment, reflected in initiatives under the European Green Deal, which seek to reduce hazardous substances and promote safe, sustainable chemical use. Comprehensi...

A species sensitivity distribution (SSD) is a statistical distribution of the toxicity values of chemicals and is increasingly used in ecological risk assessment (ERA). When an SSD is used with limited toxicity data, add...

The sensitivity of harpacticoid copepods was tested against selected pollutants. Acute toxicity tests were carried out for five hyporheic species exposed to pesticides, ammonia, and metals. The stygoxene Bryocamptus zsch...

Abstract One of the factors contributing to “the death valley” in biotech process transfer is an assumption that once a synthetic trait is successfully introduced and optimized in a microbial host, the resulting stra...

Background: Since consumers became aware of the concept of natural-based components, the natural cosmetics business has flourished. A large percentage of cosmetics have a negative environmental impact and include toxic a...

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has risen rapidly over the past decade, particularly among adolescents and young adults, driven by perceptions of reduced harm compared with combustible cigarettes. Despite the abse...

This review article points out, through an overview, aspects that are related to the procedures established by green analytical chemistry, for the extraction of bioactive compounds in plants, through the use of assisted ...

Two types of the fungus Trichoderma were chosen, these are T.viride and T.harzianum. The activity of these fungi were tested against different kinds of plant and human pathogenic fungi. After screening , the fungus T.har...

Abstract Environmental hazards of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and associated chemicals have been investigated for more than a decade. However, the field of human MNPs health risk assessment is still confronted by many...

Modern lifestyle factors, including dietary choices, significantly affect individual and intergenerational health. The widespread reliance on processed and takeout foods, along with the regular use of cosmetics and perso...

Abstract This is the first study which presents integrated geo-spatial prospective life cycle and supply chain sustainability modelling of two compound semiconductors: Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) and Indium Gallium Ph...

Toxic nephropathies are one of the important and common cause of renal injury mechanisms. Although they are generally reversible when diagnosed at early stage, sometimes result in chronic kidney disease (CKD).Toxic nepro...

Environmental justice communities across the United States continue to experience disproportionate exposure to industrial pollution, particularly in regions dominated by petrochemical infrastructure. The Alsen / St. Irma...

En las últimas décadas se han desarrollado numerosas investigaciones con vistas a incrementar el control y la evaluación toxicológica de nuevos productos, así como el análisis del impacto de éstos en el medio. Los...

Jacaranda decurrens Cham. (Bignoniaceae) é uma planta utilizada popularmente no tratamento de infecções, reumatismo e como depurativo do sangue. Objetivou-se nesse estudo avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana do extrato ...
