Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a cause of chronic cough occurrence in adult patients. In order clear the relationship between transboundary transport PAH and health effects, this study investigates atmospheric particulate PAHs (p-PAHs), by epidemiological research, meteorological conditions using chemical model. Source receptor (SRR) analysis revealed that higher was ca...

the ever increasing rate of power consumption has led to an increase in public exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (elf-mfs) and brought severe concerns about their health effects. considering previous studies and the facts about potential health effects of these fields, the present study aimed to evaluate the elf-mf flux densities from power distribution lines near hospitals in...

Commercially used per- and polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been widely detected in humans, but the sources of human exposure are not fully characterized. The objectives of this study were to assess the relative importance of different exposure pathways of PFCs in a group of Norwegians and compare estimated intakes with internal doses obtained through biomonitoring. Individual PFC intakes ...

The current understanding of nanoplastics (NPLs) toxicity to freshwater biota, especially the potential toxic effects polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), remains limited. Thus, present work intended add knowledge about ecotoxicity ∼40 nm PMMA-NPLs focusing on lethality, morphology, feeding and regeneration capacity cnidarian Hydra viridissima, after an exposure period 96 h. Results showed that high ...

background: nanoparticles have become one of the leading technologies over the past two years. the extensive use of nanoparticles has raised great concern about their occupational fate and biological effects. with an increase in the production and use of nanomaterial, it is more likely to get exposed to them occupationally and environmentally. objective: to assess the toxicity of silver nanopar...

power stations produce a range of magnetic fields more than 20 mt which are harmful to those working or living around them. several investigators have reported an increased health risk due to exposure to electric and magnetic fields (emf) at 50 and 60 hz. several studies have been reported especially with increased tumor incidence, effects on reproduction and development, and neural and behavio...

BACKGROUND Prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) increases offspring aggression and diminishes differences in sexually dimorphic behaviors in rodents. OBJECTIVE We examined the association between prenatal BPA exposure and behavior in 2-year-old children. METHODS We used data from 249 mothers and their children in Cincinnati, Ohio (USA). Maternal urine was collected around 16 and 26 weeks ...

The present paper deals with the toxicity of fertilizer's industrial wastewater on snake head fish Channa striatus (Bloch) previously named as Ophiocephalus sp., at different concentrations viz., 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 percent on the behavioural changes and mortality. The exposed fish showed hyperactivity viz., jumping, operculum movement, distance travelling, somersaulting at higher concentrat...
