Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Biomonitoring in the Era of the Exposome [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2017
The term "exposome" was coined in 2005 to underscore the importance of the environment to human health and to bring research efforts in line with those on the human genome. The ability to characterize environmental exposures through biomonitoring is key to exposome research efforts.Our objectives were to describe why traditional and nontraditional ...

Evaluating the combined toxicity of Penicillium mycotoxins in absorption, metabolism, and excretion systems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Penicillium mycotoxins, including ochratoxin A (OTA), citrinin (CIT), and cyclopiazonic acid (CPZ), frequently co‐occur in food commodities, contributing to chronic low‐level dietary exposure. However, current risk assessments often consider these toxins individually, overlooking potential interaction effects.

Biomonitoring with Wireless Communications [PDF]

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2003
▪ Abstract  Wireless biomonitoring, first used in human beings for fetal heart-rate monitoring more than 30 years ago, has now become a technology for remote sensing of patients' activity, blood pulse pressure, oxygen saturation, internal pressures, orthopedic device loading, and gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Ambient Biomonitoring Network: Atlantic Coastal Drainage Basin, 1994-95 Benthic Macroinvertebrate Data

, 1996
In 1992, the Bureau of Water Monitoring designed and initiated the Ambient Biomonitoring Network (AMNET). The goal of the program is to establish a network of lotic (running water) stations in each major watershed drainage basin.

Paraben Exposure in the General Taiwanese Population: Reference Values, Personal Care Products, and Cumulative Risk Assessment

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parabens (parahydroxybenzoates), which are frequently used as preservatives in pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and personal care products, have recently attracted considerable attention due to their adverse health effects and endocrine‐disrupting properties.

High temperature induces reproductive dysfunction in male zebrafish via DNA methylation-mediated tssk6 downregulation

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
High temperature (HT) poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying HT-induced reproductive impairment in fish remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that both short-term (< 21 days) and long-term (> 120

A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped

Assessing the utility of Hsp90 gene for inferring evolutionary relationships within the ciliate subclass Hypotricha (Protista, Ciliophora)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Although phylogenomic analyses are increasingly used to reveal evolutionary relationships among ciliates, relatively few nuclear protein-coding gene markers have been tested for their suitability as candidates for inferring phylogenies within ...
