Toxicity with heavy metals has proven to be a significant hazard with several health
problems linked to it. Heavy metals bioaccumulate in living organisms, pollute the food …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are ubiquitous low molecular weight cysteine-rich proteins
characterized by high affinity for d10 electron configuration metals, including essential (Zn …

Although the in vivo toxicity of nanoplastics (NPs) has already been reported in different
model systems, their effects on mammalian behavior are poorly understood. Thus, we aimed …

Oxidative stress is the unifying feature underlying the toxicity of anthropogenic pollution (eg,
heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and nitrogen-oxides) and the ultimate …

Understanding the toxicity of chemicals to organisms requires considering the molecular
mechanisms involved as well as the relationships between exposure concentration and …

In this study, according to the classification of biological “classes” and the different trophic
levels of the food web, the distribution characteristics, bioaccumulation of heavy metals …

Despite restrictions in emissions, heavy metals may remain a major environmental issue
due to their numerous sources and their persistence. Here, we assessed current levels of 4 …

The spatial distribution of total and CaCl2-extracted Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations in smelter-
impacted soils was investigated over a polluted site (40km2) in Northern France. The study …

This paper presents a novel assessment of the use of fur as a non-invasive proxy to
biomonitor metal contamination in insectivorous bats. Concentrations of metals (cadmium …

The aim of this study was to investigate metal accumulation and detoxification processes in
cattle from polluted and unpolluted areas. Therefore dairy cows from farms and free ranging …
