Effects of Environmental Non-Essential Toxic Heavy Metals on Epigenetics During Development

Toxics
We are exposed to a variety of environmental chemicals in our daily lives. It is possible that the effects of this daily chemical exposure could accumulate in the organism in some form and influence health and disease development.

Essential and non-essential trace metals in scalp hair of men chronically exposed to volcanogenic metals in the Azores, Portugal [PDF]

Environment International, 2008
Volcanoes produce and release large amounts of toxicants, and the concentration of metals in hair can be used as a biomarker of exposure to trace metals. In order to investigate whether humans exposed to volcanic emissions demonstrate higher concentrations of essential and non-essential trace metals, scalp hair of men (3-89 years) living in two areas ...

Trophic transfer of metals in a seagrass food web: Bioaccumulation of essential and non-essential metals.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018
Metal concentrations are reported for a seagrass ecosystem receiving industrial inputs. δ13C and δ15N isotope ratios were used to establish trophic links. Copper concentrations (dry mass) ranged from

Toxicological interactions of silver nanoparticles and non-essential metals in human hepatocarcinoma cell line.

Toxicology in Vitro, 2017
Toxicological interaction represents a challenge to toxicology, particularly for novel contaminants. There are no data whether silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), present in a wide variety of products, can interact and modulate the toxicity of ubiquitous contaminants, such as nonessential metals.

Essential metals in health and disease

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2022
In total, twenty elements appear to be essential for the correct functioning of the human body, half of which are metals and half are non-metals. Among those metals that are currently considered to be essential for normal biological functioning are four ...

Harmful Interactions of Non-Essential Heavy Metals with Cells of the Innate Immune System [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Toxicology, 2011
In trace amounts, some heavy metals are essential for optimum health, while exposure to others, which are non-essential, presents the potential hazard of acute or chronic organ toxicity. Cadmium, mercury, lead, vanadium, platinum and palladium are commonly encountered, non-essential heavy metals which mediate their toxic activities by various ...
