Comparison of Predicted and Observed Dioxin Levels in Fish: Implications for Risk Assessment [PDF]
, 1993 After comparing sampled and modelled dioxin levels in the tissue of fish near pulp and paper mill discharges, the authors argue that, until an improved bioaccumulation model is incorporated into EPA\u27s Risk assessment process, determination of human ...

Current Status of Air Toxics Management and Its Strategies for Controlling Emissions in Taiwan
Toxics, 2016 Since the 1970s, hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), so-called air toxics, have been of great concern because they can cause serious human health effects and have adverse effects on the environment.

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 2003-2018, June 2026.ABSTRACT Humans are chronically exposed to mixtures of environmental contaminants. Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) contributes to increased health impairment observed globally. This study aimed to evaluate the endocrine‐disruptive and oxidative stress potential of a human‐relevant, complex chemical mixture in vitro.

The use of the DR CALUX bioassay and indicator polychlorinated biphenyls for screening of elevated levels of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in eel. [PDF]
, 2006 The DR CALUX bioassay is a very suitable screening method for dioxins and dioxin-like-PCBs in feed and food. This was, e. g. demonstrated in a survey in the Netherlands to control the dioxin levels in eel.

The Plural Lives of E‐Waste: Valuation and Contestation in Accra's Recycling Network(s)
The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.Short Abstract Electronic waste (e‐waste) in Accra is shown to be plural and ontologically multiple, enacted as livelihood, commodity, hazard, governance object and political actor across dispersed recycling networks. Using a multi‐sited, follow‐the‐thing approach and 60 interviews, I specify four socio‐material mechanisms (i.e., copper's market tempo,

Exploring 6‐Hydroxy‐3‐Aryl/Heteroarylcoumarins as Promising Candidates Against Trypanosoma cruzi
ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.New therapies are urgently needed for Chagas disease, and screening of 6‐hydroxy‐3‐aryl/heteroarylcoumarin derivatives identified highly selective compounds with potent activity against T. cruzi. In particular, derivative 1f showed submicromolar trypomastigote potency, dual‐stage activity, and inhibition of amastigote‐to‐trypomastigote differentiation,

Soft Tissue Sarcoma Burden and Research Productivity: Global Patterns and Disparities, 1990–2021
Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Background Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a rare and diverse type of cancer, with a disproportionate incidence and limited global epidemiological studies. This study aims to analyze the long‐term trends and epidemiological features of the global burden of STS from 1990 to 2021 and to reveal the global research productivity on STS.
