Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Effects in Buccal Cells of Sandstone Quarry Workers
ABSTRACT Mineral extraction poses significant occupational health risks, particularly from respirable crystalline silica exposure. Sandstone quarrying generates substantial dust, yet evidence of its genotoxic effects remains limited. This study investigated cytogenotoxic damage in sandstone quarry workers from southern Brazil using the buccal ...

ABSTRACT Glyphosate has long been considered to pose negligible direct risk to mammals on the grounds that its molecular target, 5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase (EPSPS), of the shikimate pathway, is absent from animal cells. This rationale is inaccurate as a complete toxicological argument, because the shikimate pathway is present in some ...

Chinese provincial-level new records for 96 resident bird species reveal poleward range shifts
Anthropogenic climate change is altering species distributions globally. While species distributions are expected to shift to higher latitudes and elevations under global warming, empirical evidence on distribution shifts is mixed, and factors mediating ...

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

Sampling and Interpreting Lichen Diversity Data for Biomonitoring Purposes
Although lichen diversity values are broadly used as bioindicators, mainly for air pollution, lichen communities can be substantially influenced by other ecological factors, such as tree species and forest structure, and microclimatic conditions.

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 ...

This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...
