Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Search for double beta decay of Zinc and Tungsten with the help of low-background ZnWO4 crystal scintillators

, 2008
Double beta processes in 64-Zn, 70-Zn, 180-W, and 186-W have been searched for with the help of large volume (0.1-0.7 kg) low background ZnWO4 crystal scintillators at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN.

Titanium Detected in Liver, Kidney, Spleen, and Intestine Is Not Related to Dose, Time, or Route of Exposure to Titanium Dioxide: A Systematic Review

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Titanium dioxide (TiO2), used as a food additive (labeled E171 in Europe), was withdrawn from the European market in 2022. The E171 toxicity mechanism involves its uptake, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammation. It has been hypothesized that the TiO2 accumulation nanoparticles (NPs) or E171 triggers tissue damage, and some studies have

Radioactive Contamination of the Soil: Assessments of Pollutants Mobility with Implication to Remediation Strategies

, 2016
Accidental releases, nuclear weapons testing, and inadequate practices of radioactive waste disposal are the principal human activities responsible for radioactive contamina‐ tion as a new and global form of soil degradation.

Absolute scaling of small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering images recorded with short duration X‐ray pulses on a large area fiber‐taper X‐ray detector

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
An X‐ray scattering setup designed to capture small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering on a single, large area detector features a partially transmissive beamstop that facilitates non‐invasive recording of X‐ray beam position and intensity during acquisition of X‐ray scattering images.

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

ZnMoO4: a promising bolometer for neutrinoless double beta decay searches

, 2012
We investigate the performances of two ZnMoO4 scintillating crystals operated as bolometers, in view of a next generation experiment to search the neutrinoless double beta decay of Mo-100. We present the results of the alpha vs beta/gamma discrimination,
