Metabolic synergies in the biotransformation of organic and metallic toxic compounds by a saprotrophic soil fungus [PDF]
, 2018 The saprotrophic fungus Penicillium griseofulvum was chosen as model organism to study responses to a mixture of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH, δ-HCH) and of potentially toxic metals (vanadium, lead) in solid and liquid media ...

Hexachlorocyclohexane as an Insecticide [PDF]
Nature, 1945 MR. E. L. TAYLOR has given1 an account of work on the acaricidal properties of a 'new' insecticide of the general formula C6H6Cl6 (hexachlorocyclohexane). This substance has been available in France for some years under the trade name of 'Aphtiria'. It would appear that a patent covering the method of preparation was taken out in France by M.

Impact of Environmental Exposure on Infant Sleep : The Exposome Approach
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.This review explores how exposure to environmental pollutants during the first 1000 days of life may affect infant sleep. Evidence suggests potential links between chemical exposures and sleep disturbances, underscoring the need for more research on early‐life vulnerability and the impact of pollutants in air, diet, and breast milk.
