Heavy Metals in Cosmetics

open access: yes, 2022
This review provides a comprehensive insight into the content of five heavy metals found in cosmetics and their effects at the site of application and on several organs via the dermal route of administration. Regulation of these products is very limited with little information on limits of these metals at the disposition of manufacturers.

Heavy metal suicide [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2017
In acute kidney injury (AKI), the majority of dying tubular cells succumbs to an iron-dependent form of regulated necrosis, referred to as ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is essentially mediated by iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation upon GPX4 dysfunction. Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is a master regulator of intracellular free iron due to the conversion of heme to ...

Heavy metal distribution in some French forest soils: evidence for atmospheric contamination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This study is one of very few dealing with the distribution and the origin of heavy metals in French soils from a priori non-polluted forest areas. The abundance of heavy metals measured in these soils decreases as follows: Cr) Zn)Pb)Ni)Cu)Co4Cd. Total

Interactions between heavy metals and photosynthetic materials studied by optical techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this work studies on rapid inhibitory interactions between heavy metals and photosynthetic materials at different organization levels were carried out by optical assay techniques, investigating the possibility of applications in the heavy metal ...

Soil heavy metal contamination and acid deposition: experimental approach on two forest soils in Hunan, Southern China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In 1985, a tailing dam collapsed in Hunan province (southern China) leading to soil contamination by heavy metals from the tailings waste. Moreover, acid deposition becomes more and more serious in this area. In this context, two forest soils (a red soil

Susceptibility of Halobacteria to Heavy Metals [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987
Sixty-eight halobacteria, including both culture collection strains and fresh isolates from widely differing geographical areas, were tested for susceptibility to arsenate, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, and zinc ions by an agar dilution technique.

Long-term field metal extraction by pelargonium:phytoextraction efficiency in relation to plant maturity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The long length of periods required for effective soil remediation via phytoextraction constitutes a weak point that reduces its industrial use. However, these calculated periods are mainly based on short-term and/or hydroponic controlled experiments ...

Identification and functional analysis of two ZIP metal transporters of the hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The heavy metal hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens expresses several ZIP-like genes at higher levels than their orthologues in non-hyperaccumulator species, but it is not clear why. To elucidate the function of the T.
