Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Exposure of zebrafish to brominated environmental chemicals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Fish reproduction and embryonic development may be sensitive to environmental chemicals. This thesis investigated effects of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs) on reproduction and early life-stage development ...

The Vernix Caseosa is the Main Site of Dioxin Excretion in the Human Foetus

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Dioxins are highly toxic to foetuses and prenatal exposure leads to adverse health effects; however, the metabolic pathways involved in dioxin excretion are poorly understood. We determined the dynamics of maternal-to-foetal dioxin transfer during normal

Half a Century of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Northern Gannet Eggs: Impact of Regulations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 4085-4098, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are persistent organic pollutants that have been widely used in the industry across the globe for many decades. Their chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity pose major environmental and health risks. This study examines temporal trends in the concentrations of

Epidemiological approaches in the investigation of environmental causes of cancer: the case of dioxins and water disinfection by-products

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2011
I will refer in this paper to difficulties in research in environmental causes of cancer using as examples research on dioxins and on drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs) that have created considerable controversy in the scientific and wider ...

Molecular Evidence for the Atmospheric Transformation of Trash Burning Aerosol Into Organonitrate‐ and Organosulfate‐Rich Haze: A Case Study From the Eastern Indo‐Gangetic Plain

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Open burning of solid waste is projected to contribute up to 29% of global anthropogenic PM2.5 emissions, yet its role in secondary aerosol formation remains largely absent from current assessments. Using 21‐T Fourier transform‐ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, we show that fresh trash burning organic aerosol (tbOA) in the Indo ...

Research Progress on Formation Mechanism and Control Technology of Dioxins in Iron and Steel Sintering Flue Gas

open access: yes能源环境保护
The emission of dioxins (PCDD/Fs) from iron and steel sintering flue gas poses a serious threat to regional air quality and human health. The process is considered a major source of dioxins.

Study of dioxin levels in releases to the atmosphere from the use of secondary fuels in cement kilns during clinker formation

open access: yesRevista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2005
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of dioxins in the emission levels to the atmosphere by using some waste materials, such as used tires or meat meal, as secondary fuel during the production of clinker. For this purpose, three different

Wearable Electro‐Thermal Haptic Stimulator Driven by a Self‐Powered Tactile Sensor for Realistic Stimulus Replication

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 56, 9 October 2026.
We present a stimulus‐replicating system combining a tactile sensor with a wearable Peltier thermotactile module and concentric electrotactile electrode. Signals encoding pressure and temperature drive the stimulators to reproduce mechano‐thermal cues on the skin. AlN/PDMS encapsulation and SA/LA PSA ensure mechanical compliance and thermal efficiency.
