Article Synopsis
- - The legalization of cannabis has raised concerns about product safety, particularly regarding the potential toxic elements found in rolling papers used for smoking.
- - A study measured 26 elements in commercially available rolling papers, finding that certain elements like Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), and Vanadium (V) could pose health risks to frequent users.
- - It's suggested that some manufacturers may use Cu-based pigments in their papers, leading to exposure levels significantly exceeding safety limits, highlighting the need for more research on the effects of these products when smoked.
Wastewater-based epidemiology is being used as a tool to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and provide an early warning for the presence or increase of clinical cases in a community. The majority of wastewater-based epidemiology for COVID-19 tracking has been utilized in sewersheds that service populations in the tens-to-hundreds of thousands. Few studies have been conducted to assess the usefulness of wastewater in predicting COVID-19 clinical cases specifically in rural areas.

However, despite reports of negative correlations between leaf phenolic content and growth of Populus, it remains unclear whether or how foliar biosynthesis of CT/PG interferes with tree growth. A comparison was made of carbon partitioning and N content in developmentally staged leaves, stems, and roots of two closely related Populus hybrid genotypes.
