Nanoplastics (NPs) represent a major challenge in environmental contamination resulting from the physical, chemical, and biological degradation of plastics. Their characterization requires advanced and expensive methods, which limit routine analyses. The biological effects of NPs depend on their chemical and physical properties, which influence toxicity and interactions with biological systems.

Given its simplicity, appears to be a promising model for future research on endocrine disruptors, including bisphenol A and its supposedly safer alternatives. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of embryonic exposure of to different concentrations (0.5, 1.

Objectives: (i) To evaluate the possible exposure of newly diagnosed lung cancer patients to selected lifestyle, environmental, occupational, and dietary risk factors and (ii) to assess the differences in exposures of small-cell (SCLC) and non-small-cell (NSCLC) lung cancer patients to those risk factors.
Methods: In this study, 205 newly diagnosed patients with IIIB/IV stage of either SCLC or NSCLC (111 men vs. 94 women) from Vojvodina, Serbia, were surveyed for selected demographic characteristics, dietary and lifestyle habits, and environmental factors.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have received significant attention in the food field due to their potential health risks. Herein, we proposed a novel core-shell structure magnetic cationic covalent organic framework (EB-DHTA-iCOF@FeO) designed for the efficient enrichment of trace-level EDCs in foodstuffs and analyzed using HPLC-MS/MS. Due to the phenolic EDCs structure possessing hydroxyl functional groups which become protonated under alkaline conditions, resulting in the formation of negatively charged anions.

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the most widely used herbicides in the United States, accounting for 19% of estimated global use. Although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reaffirmed that the active ingredient glyphosate (GLY) is safe for humans, recent studies on exposure have suggested association with cancer, metabolic disorders, endocrine disruption and infertility, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and psychological disorders. Current literature on the effects of GLY exposure on reproductive function suggests potential clinical implications on women's reproductive health, including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, infertility, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
