Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

Hypercholesterolemia with consumption of PFOA-laced Western diets is dependent on strain and sex of mice

Toxicology Reports, 2016
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a man-made surfactant with a number of industrial applications. It has a long half-life environmentally and biologically. Past studies suggest a direct relationship between plasma cholesterol and PFOA serum concentrations

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

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 5, Page 1487-1505, May 2026.
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.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 591-606, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as

Homogeneous Copper(I) Electrocatalyzed Degradation of Ultra‐Short and Long‐Chain Perfluoroalkyl Substances

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Molecular copper(I) electrocatalyst promoted ultra‐short and long‐chain perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) degradation under ambient homogeneous electrochemical conditions. Substrate scopes also include fluoroalkyl alcohols and trifluoroacetic acid. Controlled‐current electrolysis studies in the presence of the copper(I) catalyst showed the defluorination

Risk governance of potential emerging risks to drinking water quality: Analysing current practices [PDF]

, 2018
The presence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment may affect human health via exposure to drinking water. And, even if some of these emerging contaminants are not a threat to human health, their presence might still influence the public ...

بررسی اثرات مواجهه با PFOA در دوران بارداری بر بیان فاکتورهای نوروتروفین 3 (NT3) و نوروتروفین 4 (NT4) در مغز نوزادان تازه متولد شده‌ی موش صحرایی [PDF]

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان
مقاله پژوهشی مقدمه: مطالعات قبلی نشان داده‌اند که اسید پرفلوئورواکتانوئیک (Perfluorooctanoic acid) PFOA، باعث ایجاد سمیت سلولی در اندام‌ها می‌شود. سطح بالایی از PFOA در خون بند ناف وجود دارد که ممکن است بر اندام‌زایی تأثیر بگذارد.
