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

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
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

Carcinogenic and Genotoxicity of some PAHs in commonly consumed smoked fish (Parachanna obscura and Ethmalosa fimbriata)

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2019
The dietary exposure of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) and potential risk to human health was instigated in two different traditionally smoked species of fish (Parachanna obscura and Ethmalosa frimbriata) purchased from three markets in Benin ...

Modular Donor‐Acceptor Diradicaloids Based on an Electron Deficient N‐Heteroacene Acceptor

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a modular approach to donor‐acceptor‐donor (D‐A‐D) diradicaloids that show systematic evolution of their energy gaps, singlet‐triplet splittings, and diradical character (y). The correlation of (opto)electronic, spin, and magnetic properties with high‐fidelity theoretical investigations provides clear connections between the degree ...

Ab Initio Benchmarking on Unsupported and Coronene‐Supported Silver Atomic Clusters: Interplay Between Jahn–Teller Distortions and Fluxionality

Small Structures, EarlyView.
The article presents a benchmark study using state‐of‐the‐art high‐level ab initio methodologies to predict infrared and Raman frequencies of subnanometric metal clusters. The importance of characterizing conical intersections in their potential energy landscapes is also highlighted, with the associated (Pseudo‐)Jahn–Teller distortions of cluster ...

Synergistic Effects of Fuel Components on Aromatics Formation in Combustion: A Review

Applied Sciences
Aromatics, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are important combustion pollutants known to be carcinogenic and mutagenic and are also precursors of soot and, consequently, combustion-generated particulate matters that can significantly ...

Ecotoxicity of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2007
Soil samples from a former cokery site polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were assessed for their toxicity to terrestrial and aquatic organisms and for their mutagenicity. The total concentration of the 16 PAHs listed as priority pollutants by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) was 2634+/-241 mg/kgdw in soil samples. The

Acute Inhalation Exposure to Ultrafine Carbon Black Alters Mitochondrial Substrate Utilization in the Heart

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A majority of deaths associated with air pollution are attributed to cardiovascular and heart diseases. Carbon black that represents the carbon core of particulate matter, a major component of air pollution, has been shown to result in cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction.

Determination of total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) in road dust along Kuantan-Gambang road [PDF]

, 2012
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons , (PAHs) is a type of potential environments pollutants which consists of fused aromatic rings. PAHs do not contain heteroatoms or carry any substituents. Anthracene is one of the simplest examples of PAHs.

Organic and Inorganic Pollutants, Oxidative Stress Biomarkers, and Electrophoretic Protein Profiles in an Endangered Thresher Shark (Alopias vulpinus) From Southeastern Brazil: A Case Study

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive screening of different environmental contaminants (total metals, thermostable metal fractions associated with detoxification, and persistent organic pollutants) was conducted in an endangered common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus ) individual incidentally captured in southeastern Brazil.
