    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • Author(s): Nassim Zeinali, Ibukun Oluwoye, Mohammednoor Altarawneh, Bogdan Z. Dlugogorski Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) remain of particular concern owing to their extensive toxicity towards health and accumulation in the environment. Atmospheric oxidation (by ambient oxygen molecules) of this class of persistent environmental pollutants has little to no kinetic feasibility due to very sizable activation energies in the entrance channel.

  21. The effect of diosmin against liver damage caused by cadmium in rats

    • Journal of Food Biochemistry

    • A total of 40, male Wistar Albino, 2–3‐months‐old rats were used and divided into four groups. Control group received the vehicle alone, diosmin group received 100 mg/kg.bw diosmin, the cadmium group received 200 ppm cadmium, cadmium plus diosmin group received 200 ppm cadmium, and 100 mg/kg.bw diosmin for 30 days.

  22. A simple two‐stage column chromatographic separation scheme for strontium, lead, neodymium and hafnium isotope analyses in geological samples by thermal ionization mass spectrometry or multi‐collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

    • Journal of Separation Science

    • Here, a two‐stage column separation scheme is developed for the concomitant isolation of Sr, Pb, Nd, and Hf from geological samples. The first column, which consists of three resin layers (AG50W‐X8 ion exchange resin + Ln specific resin + Sr specific resin), separates the high field strength element + rare earth element, Sr and Pb from the matrices.

  23. Simultaneous Determination of Five Organophosphorus Pesticide Residues in Different Food Samples by Solid‐phase Microextraction Fibers coupled with High‐performance Liquid Chromatography

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Background excessive or improper use of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) may adversely affect human health through the food chain. In the present study, a simple, rapid, and effective analytical method was successfully established and used for the determination of OPPs quinalphos and its analogs in different food samples.

  25. Heavy metal resistance genes and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in Arthrobacter sp. isolated from Brazilian soils

    • Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

    • Arthrobacter sp. are Gram-positive bacilli commonly obtained from soil and in the hospital environment. These species have been reported to cause several types of infection. Heavy metals are a threat to the ecological system due to their high-levels of toxicity and the fluoroquinolones are antimicrobials widely used for the treatment of different bacterial infections.
