Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Health risk assessment of heavy metal accumulation in fruits exposed to geothermal waters: a case study and global implications

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study investigated the potential health risks of heavy metals (HMs) in the fruits and leaves of mulberry and sour cherry trees exposed to water from Sivas geothermal basin (Turkey). RESULTS The target HMs were ranked according to their hazard index as: Cd < Pb < Zn < Cu < Ni < Mn < Cr. The total hazard index for mulberry

Modelling Bioaccumulation in Aquatic Organisms and in Mammals

, 2018
The assessment of bioaccumulation processes plays a significant role in the evaluation of chemical risks. The awareness of long-lasting and often irreversible effects of bioaccumulative chemicals on ecological and human targets encouraged the inclusion ...

Bio‐Derived Carbon Nanoparticles: A Green Amendment for Alleviating Heavy Metals in Soil–Plant Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.

Strain-Dependent Norovirus Bioaccumulation in Oysters

, 2011
Noroviruses (NoVs) are the main agents of gastroenteritis in humans and the primary pathogens of shellfish-related outbreaks. Some NoV strains bind to shellfish tissues by using carbohydrate structures similar to their human ligands, leading to the ...

Mass Spectrometry in Authentication and Forensic Approaches for Determining the Origin of Hazardous Chemicals

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identification of a chemical agent yields insights into its physicochemical properties. By examining the intrinsic characteristics and environment of a compound, information about its history can be gathered. The main objective of authentication/forensic approaches to chemicals is to trace the history of the compound's origin, regardless of ...

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...
