Heavy metal: a misused term? [PDF]
Acta Geochimica, 2021 The use of the term “heavy metal” is questioned by the scientific community and it has been proposed that it should be replaced in the scientific literature.

Heavy electrons in metals [PDF]
Physica B+C, 1984 Many properties of metals are, stated in very simple terms, determined by the conduction electrons and their interaction with the ionic lattice forming the solid. The physical description of these properties poses therefore a many-body problem par excellence. The history of the physics of metals in particular but certainly also that of condensed matter

, 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.

American 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 ...

, 2021 In the era of industrialization, pollution has totally deteriorated the quality and diversity of life. Heavy metal contaminations are the major causes of environment deteriorations. The basic reasons are natural as well as anthropogenic. Chief sources of heavy metal contamination are air pollution, river sediments, sewage sludge, town waste composts ...

Susceptibility of Halobacteria to Heavy Metals [PDF]
Applied 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.

Heavy Metals and the Environment
, 2020 Global environmental contamination is one of the most significant environmental problems in contemporary society. Pollutants are entering the environment from different sources, and on the basis of their physico-chemical properties, they are transported and participate in biochemical cycles in the varied components of the environment, namely in the air,

Nature, 1986 A new class of metals has been found in which the electrons have effective masses orders of magnitude larger than the free-electron mass. Some of these metals are superconducting at low temperatures. This superconductivity seems to be unconventional, with an underlying mechanism different from that in all other known superconductors.

Journal of Heavy Metal Toxicity and Diseases, 2016 Autism is rapidly growing worldwide with massive impact on families, country and economy. Genetic and environmental causes are thought to be the main groups of aetiology of autism. Genetic mutations in multiple genes are identified, but they affect only less than 1/3 of cases.
