Treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated environments is still a great challenge today. Oily residues present in refinery separation systems waste or even the accumulation in the storage tanks has been an increasing issue. ...

Background: Induction chemotherapy in locally-advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNSCC) patients is potentially associated to serious adverse events. Biomarkers associated with toxicity could tailor its ...

Larrea divaricata Cav. (Zygophyllaceae) is an autochthonous plant of South America, widely distributed in Argentina. It is used in folk medicine as an anti-inflammatory drug. By other way, presents well documented antitumoral ...

A cute toxicity of six drilling muds (water based and synthetic based) was evaluated using Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae to establish the 96 h median lethal concentration (LC50). The Suspended Particulate Phase (SPP) ...

Large amounts of residues generated by agricultural, urban and industrial activities are dumped daily on the soil. This practice deserves special attention because it causes serious environmental problems. This study ...

Toxic potential of the pH reduction to fingerlings of Poecilia reticulata, through acute tox­icity bioassays, as well as the influence of increased pH on the tox­icity were assessed. Acid lake samples (Dunas Lake) were ...

Polypyrrole (PPy) based compounds have been considered interesting materials for several technological applications, mainly due to their unique optoelectronic properties and high versatility of synthesis. In particular, ...

Metals are important recognized for their potentially toxic character to communities, in addition to being bioaccumulative in some organisms. In this work, the concentrations of cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, ...
