Immunomodulatory role of phagocyte-derived chloramines involving lymphocyte glutathione
This study shows that human lymphocytes markedly decrease chloramines (long-lived oxidants) generated by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) after stimulation by phorbol-myristate-acetate or opsonized zymosan.

Naturally occurring emerging contaminants: Where to hide?
Water disinfection by-products (DBPs) are among insitu-generated emerging contaminants (ECs) during water disinfection. Although water disinfectants control acute risks through destruction of water-borne pathogens, the produced DBPs are associated to ...
