Determination of Aflatoxin M₁, Organochlorine Pesticides, and Heavy Metals in Raw Milk of Iran. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
The consumption of milk by different age groups makes its contamination as a crucial issue for public health. Therefore, the consumption of milk is considered in terms of AFM1, OCs, and heavy metals. Although monitoring of the milk safety is necessary. ABSTRACT The current study aimed to investigate aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs),

Chemical Interference: A Review on Endocrine Disruptors and Reproductive Communication in Amphibians. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Amphibians are particularly susceptible to anthropogenic pollution. This paper reviews how endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs) affect their mating behavior, noting significant research gaps in understanding these impacts. Further studies are crucial to grasp EDCs' effects on amphibian reproduction and population dynamics.

Food assessment for pesticide's contamination in Chugchilán parish crops in Cotopaxi (Ecuador)

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 46, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the contamination by pesticides in food grown in the parish of Chugchilán. From 258 families that were part of the main project, a sub‐sample of 26 families was obtained and, for each of them, a sample of food was extracted and evaluated by chromatographic methods.

Effect of Pesticides on Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptors (PPARs) and Their Association with Obesity and Diabetes

PPAR Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Obesity and diabetes mellitus are considered the most important diseases of the XXI century. Recently, many epidemiological studies have linked exposure to pesticides to the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The role of pesticides and their possible influence on the development of these diseases was investigated by examining the ...

Development of a Simple Integrative Carbon Nanomaterial Microextraction Method with GC‐MS for Assessing Pesticide Residues in Apples

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The present study describes an efficient analytical method for analyzing apple pesticide residues. This novel approach employs ultrasound‐assisted cleaning (UAC), solid‐phase microextraction (SPME), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). A fiber coating with carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) was used for the extraction process.
