Impact of organic pollutants on phenotype and gene expression in human breast cancer cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human exposure to industrial chemical compounds is widespread and, although often beneficial, prolonged contact may contribute to disease development, including cancer. While many studies have shown organic pollutants (OP) are cytotoxic, few have explored how long‐term exposure alters cell phenotype.

Additive damage in the thromboxane related vasoconstriction and bradykinin relaxation of intramural coronary resistance arterioles in a rodent model of andropausal hypertension

Heliyon, 2022
Hypertension and andropause both accelerate age–related vascular deterioration. We aimed to evaluate the effects of angiotensin-II induced hypertension and deficiency of testosterone combined regarding the resistance coronaries found intramurally.Four ...

Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Sinking peatlands: Optimal control of subsidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Land subsidence threatens the living conditions of about 1.2 billion people worldwide in deltaic regions characterized by soft top soil. Economic activity in these areas requires lowering groundwater levels to keep the land sufficiently dry, which leaves future generations worse off by accelerating subsidence and increasing future costs.
