Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Maternal Lead Exposure Induces Glandular Alterations in the Salivary Glands of Rat Male Offspring

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lead (Pb) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant that is highly noxious due to its toxicokinetic characteristics. Pb exposure can damage vital organ systems, including the central nervous and stomatognathic systems. As salivary glands play an important role in oral homeostasis, this study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal ...

[Respiratory findings in workers with no occupational exposure to air pollutants in the workplace].

Arhiv za higijenu rada i toksikologiju, 1996
The prevalence of acute and chronic respiratory symptoms and diseases as well as ventilatory capacity were studied in 806 workers without occupational exposure to air pollutants. The established prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms was similar to that found in the general pollution. It was also higher in smokers than in non-smokers.

Impact of air pollution and occupational inhalation exposures on neurodegenerative disorders: An epigenetic perspective

iScience
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) are highly prevalent conditions with genetic and environmental causes. Recently, air pollution has emerged as an important contributor to NDs, causing oxidative stress and neuronal damage in the brain. Identifying early molecular alterations mediating the effects of air pollution on ND pathogenesis would be crucial for

Protective Effects of Bee Venom (Apis mellifera) Against Cadmium‐Induced Hepatorenal Toxicity, Oxidative Stress, and Anxiety‐Like Behavior in Rats

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent environmental heavy metal and a major public health concern because it persists in the body for long periods and gradually accumulates in vital organs, particularly the liver, kidneys, and brain. Chronic Cd exposure promotes the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately leads to ...
