Light Pollution and Cancer. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2020
For many individuals in industrialized nations, the widespread adoption of electric lighting has dramatically affected the circadian organization of physiology and behavior. Although initially assumed to be innocuous, exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) is associated with several disorders, including increased incidence of cancer, metabolic ...

Ecological light pollution [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2004
Ecologists have long studied the critical role of natural light in regulating species interactions, but, with limited exceptions, have not investigated the consequences of artificial night lighting. In the past century, the extent and intensity of artificial night lighting has increased such that it has substantial effects on the biology and ecology of

Influence mechanism of awns on wheat grain Pb absorption: Awns' significant contribution to grain Pb was mainly originated from their direct absorption of atmospheric Pb at the late grain-filling stage

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
The spike is the organ that contributes the most to lead (Pb) accumulation in wheat grains. However, as an important photosynthetic and transpiration tissue in spike, the role of awn in wheat grain Pb absorption remains unknown.
