A series of strontium vanadium oxide-hydride phases prepared by utilizing a low-temperature synthesis strategy in which oxide ions in Sr(n+1)V(n)O(3n+1) (n=∞, 1, 2) phases are topochemically replaced by hydride ions to form SrVO2H, Sr2VO3H, and Sr3V2O5H2, respectively. These new phases contain sheets or chains of apex-linked V(3+)O4 squares stacked with SrH layers/chains, such that the n=∞ member, SrVO2H, can be considered to be analogous to "infinite-layer" phases, such as Sr(1-x)Ca(x)CuO2 (the parent phase of the high-T(c) cuprate superconductors), but with a d(2) electron count. All three oxide-hydride phases exhibit strong antiferromagnetic coupling, with SrVO2H exhibiting an antiferromagnetic ordering temperature, T(N)>300 K. The strong antiferromagnetic couplings are surprising given they appear to arise from π-type magnetic exchange.

Metal contaminants in rice imported to Iran: A comprehensive assessment of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks.
J Trace Elem Med Biol
November 2024
Toxicology Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5B3, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- Rice is a key food in Iran, with large imports from India and Pakistan, but these imports are found to contain dangerous levels of heavy metals that could harm health.
- A study tested 60 rice samples for 34 different metals, using advanced analysis methods, to evaluate potential health risks associated with consumption, particularly focusing on carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic metals.
- The results showed that certain samples exceeded safe metal limits, indicating a significant cancer risk for both adults and children, highlighting an urgent need for improved public health measures related to imported rice.
Trace Element Composition of Surface Water in Almaty City and Human Health Risk Assessment.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
November 2024
Institute of Nuclear Physics, Ibragimov 1, Almaty 050032, Kazakhstan.
This investigation meticulously examined the elemental composition of 64 water samples collected during the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter of the year 2023. The average seasonal concentrations of arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lithium (Li), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), uranium (U), mercury (Hg), aluminum (Al), barium (Ba), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), strontium (Sr), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), and chlorine (Cl) as well as SO and dry residue were computed at 16 strategically selected sites along the Bolshaya and Malaya Almatinka, Esentai, and Kargalinka rivers situated in Almaty. The sampling locations were categorized into three distinct sectors: upper (adjacent to mountainous regions), middle (urban zone), and lower (exceeding city limits), thereby facilitating the examination of discrepancies in water quality and elemental concentrations.

School of Public Health, Guangxi Medical University, Nanning 530021, China.
Article Synopsis
- A new method using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed to simultaneously measure 22 elements in whole blood, including metals like iron and lead.
- The method involved optimizing various analysis conditions, diluting blood samples with specific chemicals, and centrifuging them before measurement.
- Results showed strong linear relationships for element detection, with limits of detection and good precision, making it a quick and efficient option for clinical testing of multiple blood elements.
Effects of long-term nighttime warming on extractable soil element composition in a Mediterranean shrubland.

Understanding the soil biogeochemical responses to increasing global warming in the near future is essential for improving our capacity to mitigate the impacts of climate change on highly vulnerable Mediterranean ecosystems. Previous studies have primarily focused on the effects of warming on various biogeochemical processes. However, there is limited knowledge about how the changes in water availability associated to high temperatures can alter the bioavailability and dynamics of soil elements, thereby impacting ecosystem productivity, species composition, and pollution through soil biogeochemical and hydrological processes.

Institute of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, College of Public Health, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- Current research is limited on how combined exposure to multiple pollutants affects epigenetics, specifically DNA methylation, in relation to cancer and chronic diseases.
- The study discovered numerous DNA methylation probes linked to exposure to heavy metals and PAHs, revealing potential early markers for health risks.
- Key findings included a correlation between hypomethylation of the AHRR gene and increased lung cancer risk, as well as significant interactions between specific SNPs and pollutant exposure, impacting disease progression.
