A newly developed in vivo Pig‐a gene mutation assay displays great potential for integration into genotoxicity tests. To obtain more evidence for application of the Pig‐a assay, we integrated this assay, micronucleus test in peripheral blood (MN‐pb test) and bone marrow (MN‐bm test), as well as a Comet assay into a transgenic RasH2 mice carcinogenicity study. Fourteen male RasH2 mice and five wild type (WT) mice were treated with a strong mutagen aristolochic acid I at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day for 4...

Abstract Recently, monoalkyl oxo‐hydroxo tin clusters have emerged as a new class of metal‐oxide resist to support the semiconductor industry transition to extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). Under EUV exposure, these tin‐based clusters exhibit higher performance and wider process windows than conventional polymer materials. A promising new monoalkyl precursor, [(BuSn)12O14(OH)6][OH]2 (BuSn), is still in its infancy in terms of film formation. However, understanding potential environmental effects...

Abstract Terrestrial organisms such as shoreline spiders that consume prey from aquatic food webs can be contaminated with methyl mercury (MeHg). However, no studies have examined the relationship between MeHg contamination of shoreline spider taxa and the proportion of aquatic and terrestrial prey in their diets. The present study had two objectives: 1) determine concentrations of MeHg in seven taxa of shoreline spiders, and 2) assess the relationship between concentrations of MeHg in spiders and...

Abstract The objective of this study is geochronological investigation of sedimentological and inorganic composition, in the Danube Djerdap Lake sediments in order to obtain reliable information about former pollution. Eleven samples were taken from the 135-cm-deep sediment core drilled at the Orlova location. Since the core represents sediments deposited during 1972–2016, the sedimentation rate of ~ 3 cm year−1 was estimated. Grain size, mineralogical and geochemical composition...

Abstract Mining activities are among the main sources of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the environment which constitute a real concern worldwide, especially in developing countries. These activities have been carried out for more than a century in Chile, South America, where, as evidence of incorrect waste disposal practices, several abandoned mining waste deposits were left behind. This study aimed to understand multi-elements geochemistry, source patterns and mobility...

Abstract The present study region comprises granite and granite gneisses aquifer system constituted by Precambrian rocks. Groundwater is the primary source for drinking and other domestic purposes. Many developing regions in the world suffer from lack of safe drinking water. A rural part of Wanaparthy District in Telangana State, India, is one of them. For this reason, the groundwater samples collected from the study region were analyzed for pH, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3−,...

Abstract Background Michigan residents were directly exposed to endocrine-disrupting compounds, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). A growing body of evidence suggests that exposure to certain endocrine-disrupting compounds may affect thyroid function, especially in people exposed as children, but there are conflicting observations. In this study, we extend previous work by examining age of exposure’s...

Abstract Purpose To study respiratory effects of exposure to soft paper dust exposure, a relationship that is rarely studied. Methods Soft tissue paper mill workers at a Swedish paper mill were investigated using a questionnaire and lung function and atopy screening. Spirometry without bronchodilation was performed with a dry wedge spirometer, and forced...

Abstract The growing academic literature on ‘food sovereignty’ has elaborated a food producer-driven vision of an alternative, more ecological food system rooted in greater democratic control over food production and distribution. Given that the food sovereignty developed with and within producer associations, a rural setting and production-side concerns have overshadowed issues of distribution and urban consumption. Yet, ideal types such as direct marketing, time-intensive food...

Abstract Background For about three decades now, the number of people suffering from atopy including atopic dermatitis (AD) has been increasing in developed countries. Genetic background and environmental factors including air pollution play an effective role in its incidence. This study examined the association between air pollutants and exacerbation of AD symptoms including sleep disturbance and itching in AD patients of Tehran. ...

Abstract Random field theory has been increasingly adopted to simulate spatially varying environmental properties and hydrogeological data in recent years. In a two-dimensional (2D) stochastic analysis, variation of the environmental properties or hydrogeological data along different directions can be similar (i.e., isotropic) or quite different (i.e., anisotropic). To model the spatially isotropic or anisotropic variability in a stochastic analysis, conventional random field generators...

Eisl, Zhong-Min Wang, Jackson P. Yip, Patrick L.

Application of pig slurries can result in very large losses of N through NH3 volatilization, thus decreasing the N use efficiency (NUE) of the applied...
