Spatial distribution of Lindane concentration in topsoil across France

, 2013
Lindane [gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH)] is an organochlorine pesticide with toxic effects on humans. It is bioaccumulative and can remain in soils for long periods, and although its use for crop spraying was banned in France in 1998, it is ...

The Africa We Want: A Perspective on the African Code Against Cancer To Be Developed for Sub‐Saharan Africa

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a unique cancer burden, characterized by a disproportionately high mortality‐to‐incidence ratio, a large share of infection‐related cancers, and distinct environmental exposures. Implementation of national policies on primary prevention is limited, and public literacy regarding cancer risk and curability remains ...

Oxidative Damage, Energy Imbalance, and Behavioral Disruptions in Girardia tigrina Exposed to Treated Sewage Effluents

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the ecotoxicological effects of treated sewage on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, integrating biochemical, energetic, and behavioral biomarkers. Planarians were exposed for 48 h to different concentrations of treated sewage (12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) and compared to controls using commercial water and water from

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Advanced Sorbent Materials in Solid‐Phase Extraction: A Decade of Innovation and Future Perspectives

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review systematically summarizes five families of advanced sorbent materials for solid‐phase extraction (SPE): nanocarbons, porous frameworks (MOFs/COFs), smart polymers, biomass‐derived sorbents, and multifunctional composites. Key molecular interactions (π–π stacking, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, host–guest recognition) are ...
