The Organic Arsenic Compound Diphenylarsinic Acid Transfers From the Mother to the Fetus via the Placenta in Mammals. [PDF]
Neuropsychopharmacol RepThe analysis of umbilical cords from pregnant women who drank water containing DPAA revealed that DPAA could transfer from the mother to the fetus through the placenta. Additionally, experiments using rodents confirmed that DPAA could also reach the fetal brain through placental transfer.

Deformation and breakup of compound droplets in airflow [PDF]
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, (2024) 653, 517-527, 2023 Hypothesis: Immiscible liquids are commonly used to achieve unique functions in many applications, where the breakup of compound droplets in airflow is an important process. Due to the existence of the liquid-liquid interface, compound droplets are expected to form different deformation and breakup morphologies compared with single-component droplets ...

Environmental Mercury and Its Toxic Effects [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2014 Mercury exists naturally and as a man-made contaminant. The release of processed mercury can lead to a progressive increase in the amount of atmospheric mercury, which enters the atmospheric-soil-water distribution cycles where it can remain in ...
