The title compound, [Na(3)(C(14)H(14)N(3)O(3)S)(3)(C(4)H(8)O(2))(3)](n), is a polynuclear complex which includes, in the monomeric unit, three units of Na(I)-4'-dimethyl-amino-azobenzene-4-sulfonate [known as methyl orange (MO)] and three molecules of dioxane (C(4)H(8)O(2)). These constitute three kinds of Na(I) centres, two of which are seven-coordinate while the third is five-coordinate. One ...

Background. Impairments of endocrine system may be associated with exposure to perfluorinated compounds that are able to bind nuclear receptors, including the peroxisome proliferator-activating receptors. Aim of this study was to assess perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid concentrations in children and adolescents at the onset of type 1 diabetes compared to healthy controls. Me...

The surface-associated structures and growth modes of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) at water-rutile TiO2 interfaces were defined by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results showed that a compact PFOS layer was generated at the rutile surfaces, and the assembling structures and dynamic profiles were crystal-face-dependent. PFOS molecules were attached to the (110) and (001) surfaces m...

The histopathological effects of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate on the gill, liver and kidney tissues of the Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum were studied. The fish were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of anionic detergent, Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) for short term intervals (192 h). Gill, liver and kidney samples were collected after 192 h of exposure to LAS and lesions we...
