On the Efficacy and Ecotoxicity of Antifouling Biocides Lethal and Sublethal Effects on Target and Non-target Organisms [PDF]
From an environmental perspective, there is a need to reduce the amount of biocides from antifouling paints in the marine ecosystem as these biocides can exert a negative effect on the marine life. One way to do this is to optimize the use of biocides in

- It’s all about the fat [PDF]
Oxylipins, the oxygenated metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are found in many eukaryotic organisms. In plants, several enzymes can produce different types of oxylipins, and the chloroplast structural galactolipids mono- and digalactosyl

Effects of pharmaceuticals on natural microbial communities: Tolerance development, mixture toxicity and synergistic interactions [PDF]
Due to our extensive use of pharmaceuticals, low concentrations (picomol-nanomol/L) end up in the aquatic environment. Antibiotics comprise a group of pharmaceuticals specifically designed to disrupt microbial biochemical processes, and might therefore

Developmental exposure to mixtures of persistent environmental pllutants with focus on bone and retinoid system modulations [PDF]
Environmental pollution of Arctic regions has evoked a scientific as well as public concern. Arctic Inuit inhabitants consume large amounts of fatty fish and marine mammals and are therefore exposed to levels of environmental toxicants that are ...

DNA adducts as biomarkers of exposure to some dietary carcinogens [PDF]
Humans are exposed to many chemicals via intake of food and drink and there are strong associations between dietary factors and cancer. Exposure to the dietary carcinogens acrylamide and acetaldehyde are potential health risks that have made the ...
