Subchronic Exposure to Arsenic and Nickel Triggers Nitrosative Stress and Histological Alterations in the Rat Liver

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Exploring the Chemical Complexity and Toxicological Behaviour of Semi‐permanent Make‐Up Pigments: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semi‐permanent make‐up (SPMU), or micropigmentation, involves implanting pigments into the dermal layer of the skin for cosmetic enhancement. Unlike topical cosmetics, which are rapidly cleared from the body, SPMU pigments persist in living tissues, raising unique toxicological considerations.

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.
Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...
