Abandoned smelting sites in karst terrain pose a serious environmental problem due to the complex relationship between specific hydrogeological elements and heavy metal contamination. This review combines work from across the globe to consider how ka...

In Italy, the law on road homicide (Law no. 41/2016) introduced specific provisions for drivers who cause severe injuries or death to a person due to the violation of the Highway Code. The use of alcohol or drugs while driving constitutes an aggravat...

Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is a common and serious problem in clinical practice. We conducted a systematic review of studies reporting nephrotoxicity events associated with antibiotics approved since 2018. The agents assessed included aztreonam/avib...

Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) released in the environment reportedly affect the reproduction of various organisms, induced oxidative stress and apoptosis, resulting in altered sperm parameters. In this in vitro study, we tested the cytotoxicity...

Copper is an essential micronutrient for plants, but excessive levels can induce toxicity and impair physiological functions. This study evaluates the toxic effects of copper sulfate (CuSO4) on the germination of common wheat (Triticum aestivum), wit...

The utilization of iron tailings in road construction poses significant environmental risks due to the complex release mechanisms of pollutants and varying regional conditions. This study integrates an exponential decay model with an instantaneous po...

Thermosets are plastic composite materials widely used in many industrial sectors of modern society with an increasing presence in the environment. The adverse effects of this material on environmental compartments and biota of thermosets are still u...

Wild-growing edible mushrooms are known to bioaccumulate radionuclides from their environment, particularly the natural isotope potassium-40 (40K) and anthropogenic cesium-137 (137Cs). However, region-specific data for commercially relevant species i...

The broad-spectrum insect growth regulator (IGR) and insecticide 2-((1-(4-Phenoxyphenoxy)propan-2-yl)oxy)pyridine (MPEP; also known as pyriproxyfen) is increasingly being used to address public health programs for vector control, initiated by the spr...

Petroleum-contaminated soil is an increasingly severe environmental issue. The integration of phytoremediation and microbial remediation can effectively mitigate their individual limitations and enhance remediation efficiency. In this study, four new...
