Persistent organic pollutant burden, experimental POP exposure and tissue properties affect metabolic profiles of blubber from grey seal pups [PDF]
, 2018 Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic, ubiquitous, resist breakdown, bioaccumulate in living tissue and biomagnify in food webs. POPs can also alter energy balance in humans and wildlife.

Tailorable Nanoparticles for Magnetic Water Cleaning of Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Small Methods, EarlyView.Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are human‐made persistent organic pollutants omnipresent in the earth's hydrosphere, which are reported hazardous to humans as well as wildlife. This study presents surface functionalized magnetic nanoparticles that can remove such contaminants from water with an adjustable preference for most concerning compounds ...

Dehalogenation of polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers using a hybrid bioinorganic catalyst [PDF]
The environmentally prevalent polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) #47 and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) #28 and #118 were challenged for 24 hours with a novel biomass-supported Pd catalyst (BioPd0).

Kinetics of Biphenyl and Polychlorinated Biphenyl Metabolism in Soil [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985 The metabolism of 14 C-labeled PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), which comprised the Aroclor 1242 mixture, was greatly enhanced by the addition of biphenyl (BP) to soil. After 49 days, only 25 to 35% of the original PCBs remained in the soil, and 48 to 49% was converted to 14 CO 2

Role of NRP1/HDAC4/CREB/RIPK1 Axis in SARS‐CoV2 S1 Spike Subunit‐Induced Neuronal Toxicity
FASEB BioAdvances, EarlyView.Extracellular SARS‐CoV2 Spike‐S1 protein via NRP1 internalizes in the cytosol of SH‐SY5Y cells. Once inside, it upregulates the epigenetic eraser HDAC4, which binds transcriptional factor CREB, causes RIPK1 up‐regulation, and therefore necroptotic cell death.

A New Method for Exposing Deposit Feeders to Contaminated Sediments for Food Chain Studies [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) The ubiquity and refractory nature of certain organic compounds, such as chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB\u27s), results in their accumulation in aquatic sediments (Holdrinet et al. 1978, Peck et al.

Obesity Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.Summary Calorie‐restricted diets cause weight loss and can drive type 2 diabetes remission. However, many patients struggle to achieve clinically relevant weight loss, and the reasons are not well understood. Chemical exposure is associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes development, and some evidence from preclinical experiments suggests it can ...

Impact of carwash discharge on stormwater quality (Toulouse, France) [PDF]
, 2010 The contribution of discharge from carwashes to pollutant levels in stormwater was evaluated. Five carwashes and two outlets in the city of Toulouse (France) were selected. Water samples were collected from December 2006 to December 2007.

Pollution, stress response, and obesity: A systematic review
Obesity Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.Summary Limited literature addresses the association between pollution, stress, and obesity, and knowledge synthesis on the associations between these three topics has yet to be made. Two reviewers independently conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection databases to identify studies dealing with the effects of

Chemical signatures of the Anthropocene in the Clyde Estuary, UK: sediment hosted Pb, 207/206 Pb, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) and Polychlorinated Bipheny (PCB) pollution records [PDF]
, 2011 The sediment concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Pb and 207/206Pb isotope ratios were measured in seven cores from the middle Clyde estuary (Scotland, UK) with an aim ...
