Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Some Actions of POPs on Female Reproduction

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2013
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated ethers (PBDEs), chloronaftalens (PCNs), and bisphenol A (BPA), are stable, lipophilic ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 848-868, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

A Folding Magnetic Soft Sheet Robot With Real‐Time Reconfigurable Magnetization for Targeted Drug Delivery

SmartBot, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
Magnetic robots have the characteristics of small size, non‐cable drive and motion agility, but multi‐angle folding and real‐time reconfigurable magnetization are difficult to be integrated into small‐sized soft structures. Here, the authors propose a magnetic soft sheet robot based on the dynamic magnetization characteristics of magnetorheological ...

On the Redox Activity of Urban Aerosol Particles: Implications for Size Distribution and Relationships with Organic Aerosol Components

Atmosphere, 2017
This article presents the distribution of the dithiothreitol-based (DTT) redox activity of water-soluble airborne particulate matter (PM) from two urban sites in the city of Thessaloniki, northern Greece in four size ranges (<0.49, 0.49–0.97, 0.97–3.0

Immunological studies in cattle exposed to polybrominated biphenyls [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1978
The intactness of the immune system in cattle exposed to polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) has been investigated by using several immunoassays. Eighty-seven animals have been studied, 35 control animals (not exposed to PBBs) and 52 animals exposed to PBBs (0.02-30 ppm/g fat equivalent).

Hydrochemical Characteristics of Four Retreating Glacier Forefields Off the Coast of Admiralty Bay (King George Island, Maritime Antarctic): Diverse Sources of Metals and Metalloids

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 1330-1352, 28 February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of geological, marine and anthropogenic sources on metal and metalloid concentrations in the forefields of four glaciers (Ecology, Sphinx, Tower and Windy) on King George Island, Antarctic. Water samples were collected at the beginning and end of the hydrological season (austral summer, December 2021 to February ...

Soil-Air exchange controls on background atmospheric concentrations of organochlorine pesticides [PDF]

, 2011
Soils are the major terrestrial reservoir of persistent organic pollutants, and thus net volatilization from soil, when it happens, may exert a control on the atmospheric occurrence and variability of organic pollutants.
