ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the toxic effects of water‐accommodated fractions (WAFs) of very‐low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) on freshwater and marine fish embryos. Embryos of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), Java medaka (Oryzias javanicus), and grass puffer (Takifugu alboplumbeus) were exposed to various concentrations of VLSFO‐WAF, and the effects on ...

Enhancing IR‐MALDESI MSI Spatial Resolution Through Beam Constriction With a Ring‐Actuated Iris
ABSTRACT Rationale Infrared matrix‐assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR‐MALDESI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables label‐free, spatially resolved molecular analysis of biological tissues under ambient conditions. While improving spatial resolution is important for mapping fine tissue structures, mid‐infrared (IR) lasers are ...

ABSTRACT Atmospheric deposition of organic pollutants plays a crucial role in the transport and fate of contaminants in the environment, with implications for ecosystem health and human exposure. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and microplastics are increasingly recognized as transboundary threats due to ...
