ABSTRACT Chlorfenapyr (CHL) is a widely used pyrrole insecticide, but its hepatotoxic effects and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the toxic effects of CHL on rat liver and BRL‐3A hepatocytes and explored the involvement of the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Rats were administered CHL (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) by

ABSTRACT Lambda‐cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide widely used in agriculture, but its potential to contaminate aquatic ecosystems and exert high toxicity on fish at low concentrations raises ecotoxicological concerns. While standard histopathological and biochemical assessments are common, the novel integration of pigment‐based ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene (TCE) are persistent groundwater contaminants due to improper disposal and low biodegradability. This work presents an innovative bioelectrochemical system for the integrated reductive/oxidative removal of TCE from contaminated water, implemented in a single tubular ...
