American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Increasing human exposure to environmental contaminants is a growing concern and has become an important factor within human biological variation and health outcomes. Yet, traditional exposure assessment methods are often limited in their ability to capture the complexity and variation of chemical exposure, or are invasive, costly, and ...

Induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes by fractionated commercial polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) [PDF]
, 1981 A commercial polybrominated biphenyl mixture was separated chromatographically into two fractions on neutral alumina (AA and AB) and into three fractions on Florisil (FA, FB, and FC) by sequential elution with solvents of increasing polarity.

Number of Persistent Organic Pollutants Detected at High Concentrations in Blood Samples of the United States Population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Human exposure to environmental chemicals as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is usually assessed considering each pollutant individually, with little attention to concentrations of mixtures in individuals or social groups.

Dusty Streets: The Challenge of Dust‐Borne Pollutants in Low‐Income Countries
CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 2, February 2026.Generally, pollution impacts developed and low‐income countries (LICs) to different extents, and the disease burden due to roadway dust is not uniformly distributed across socio‐economic classes. Roadway dust materials from paved and unpaved urban and rural roads were reported to contain organic constituents which are toxic and affect public health ...

Microplastic Pollution in Aquaculture: Challenges and Mitigation
Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 3-20, February 2026.ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have gained significant attention due to their potential environmental threat. This paper addresses MPs contamination in aquaculture, a critical concern for food safety and public health. The extensive use and disposal of plastic products in aquaculture, like netting materials, pose a significant threat to aquatic life ...

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 108-122, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effectiveness of fire barrier solutions for upholstered furniture to enhance passive fire protection and reduce chemical exposure risks during regular use. Upholstered furniture ignition accounts for 22% of fatalities in reported home fires, often due to rapid flame spread and high heat conditions.

POLYBROMINATED DIPHENYL ETHERS (PBDEs) AND POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs) IN HOUSEHOLD DUST IN BIRMINGHAM, UK. [PDF]
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants that were used primarily as insulating fluids in electrical equipment and were banned in the 1970s, even so they are still being found in humans.
