Selection of native Atlantic Forest species for urban greening under air pollution stress
Abstract Introduction The Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) is widely used to identify pollution‐tolerant species for afforestation; however, it was not designed to account for traits such as pollutant accumulation or biomass storage, which are also relevant for evaluating environmental resilience.

Seafood Abundance Correlates With Nitrogen Stable Isotope Ratio in Japanese Diet
ABSTRACT Rationale Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of whole diet have rarely been measured to date though the isotope ratios in human sample have been extensively used for diet and nutritional researches. In order to fully validate the isotope dietary analysis, association between quantitative information on diet composition ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Use of aqueous film‐forming foam (AFFF) is a source of exposure to per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for firefighters working in aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) settings. However, data characterizing the association between serum PFAS concentrations and exposure risk factors for ARFF firefighters are limited ...

Global Fluoride Toxicology Landscape: Bibliometric Approaches and Scientific Mapping
ABSTRACT This study analyzed research trends in the 100 most‐cited articles on fluoride toxicology, a topic widely debated due to the toxic effects associated with levels deemed safe for human exposure. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science‐Core Collection, extracting data such as citation count, authors, keywords, journal ...

Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water
ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Human Biomonitoring: from group to personalized exposure assessment in occupational settings
The necessity of using human biomonitoring (HBM) for chemical health risk assessment for both general population and workers has recently been brought to the fore. HBM4EU (www.hbm4eu.eu) has the main aim to coordinate and advance HBM in Europe.

ABSTRACT Through the isotopic composition of 211 samples of six different tissues (muscle, liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and lung) obtained from 51 Tursiops truncatus strandings over nearly a decade (2013–2022), this study evaluated the impact of environmental variations on a resident population in a coastal lagoon in the southern Gulf of Mexico ...

ABSTRACT Invasive alien mussels threaten freshwater ecosystems worldwide by disrupting food webs and nutrient cycling. The effective monitoring of these populations is therefore essential to assess their spread and ecological impacts. This study demonstrates the applicability of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to monitor the reproductive periods of ...

ABSTRACT Cage aquaculture is expanding in Lake Victoria to meet increasing fish demand, yet ecological impacts remain a concern. This study assessed the effects of cage aquaculture on water quality and the abundance and diversity of pelagic and benthic macroinvertebrates at Anyanga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya.
