Several chemicals which induce cytotoxicity are broadly classified into three types and they are organophosphate, organochlorine and carbomate compounds. Perchloroethylene has been clearly identified as a carcinogen in experimental animals and it's a very common carcinogen used for dry clean purpose. Hence, in the present study, blood samples from dry cleaners were taken, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Glutathione peroxidase activity was estimated in blood samples of dry cleaners. There was a significant increase in the activity of Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase, Superoxide Dismutase in dry cleaners of chronically exposed to perchloroethylene as compared to controls. The increased activities of antioxidant enzymes may be a compensatory regulation in response to increased oxidative stress induced by perchloroethylene.

Accurately assessing the dry deposition fluxes of inorganic nitrogen aerosol (aerosol-IN) is crucial for mitigating the ecological damage caused by excessive nitrogen in oceanic equilibria. We developed a dry deposition model to assess the dry deposition fluxes of aerosol-IN into Chinese offshore areas over a decade, with the range of 2.81 × 10-1.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have many applications ranging from heterostructure electronics to nanofluidics and quantum technology. In order to effectively utilize 2D materials towards these ends, they must be transferred and integrated into complex device geometries. In this report, we investigate two conventional methods for the transfer of 2D materials: viscoelastic stamping with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a heated transfer with poly bis-A carbonate (PC).

Article Synopsis
- Hemostatic agents are commonly used in dental procedures to control bleeding, but they can negatively impact the bonding of resin composites to dentin, making their removal before bonding important.
- The study involved 90 premolar teeth divided into groups treated with either no hemostatic agent, ferric sulfate, or aluminum chloride, with cleanup methods including water, phosphoric acid, katana cleaner, and air abrasion.
- Results showed that the type of hemostatic agent and cleansing method significantly affected bond strength, with phosphoric acid yielding the best results and ferric sulfate showing the lowest bond strength.
Deciphering the role of Moringa oleifera seeds and probiotic bacteria on mitigation of biogas production from ruminants.

Maintaining cleaner and more sustainable ecosystems by mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock through dietary manipulation is in demand. This study was aimed to assess the effect of Moringa oleifera seeds and probiotics (Pediococcus acidilactici BX-B122 and Bacillus coagulans BX-B118) as feed supplements on GHG production and fermentation profile from steers and sheep. The treatments included diets containing 0, 6, 12, and 18% of M.

Article Synopsis
- Despite progress toward cleaner energy, many households still rely on contaminated biomass for heating, leading to fuel poverty.
- A case study in a Chilean home showed that using dry Eucalyptus logs produced significantly lower black carbon emissions compared to unclean biomass, which created harmful indoor air quality that lingered for hours.
- This study underscores the health risks of limited access to clean fuels and highlights the broader issue of fuel poverty in vulnerable communities.
