AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the mutagenic properties of refuse leachate from a municipal incinerator using liquid rec-assay and Ames assay techniques.
- The results indicated that while volatile components were non-mutagenic, nonvolatile components showed positive mutagenicity in the Ames test and DNA-damaging effects in the liquid rec-assay.
- The primary contributors to the leachate's mutagenicity and DNA damage were identified as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from tobacco ash and carbonyl compounds produced from food decomposition.
Article Abstract
The mutagenicity of refuse leachate from a municipal incinerator was studied by liquid rec-assay and Ames assay. Volatile components were found to be negative, and nonvolatile components positive, in the Ames assay and the leachate was found to have DNA-damaging capacity in the liquid rec-assay with S-9 mix. PAHs derived from tobacco ash and carbonyl compounds generated by the putrefaction of foods were confirmed to be main contributors to DNA-damaging capacity and mutagenicity in refuse leachate.

The adverse conditions of the garbage incineration process can lead to the generation of dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This study aimed to investigate the removal efficiency and possible cross-coupling effect of 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo--dioxin (1,2,3,4-TCDD) and six coexisting low-molecular-weight PAHs during photodegradation on the fly ash surface. Due to their higher photoreactivity and light-shielding effect, the six PAHs exhibited inhibitory effects on the photodegradation of 1,2,3,4-TCDD, causing a reduction of 4.

Article Synopsis
- - Choriocarcinoma is a highly aggressive but treatable form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm, which can lead to severe health issues, including massive hemorrhage and death, particularly in women of childbearing age with high-risk scores.
- - A case study highlights a 20-year-old woman with widespread metastatic choriocarcinoma who lapsed in treatment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in severe complications like intraabdominal hemorrhage that required immediate surgery.
- - Despite being in a coma and on a ventilator, the patient successfully underwent multiagent chemotherapy, initially with the EMA/CO regimen followed by the TP/TE regimen, leading to a significant decrease in her β-hCG levels,

Drug-induced Nitrosogenesis/Carcinogenesis turns out to be a ubiquitous, pervasive, large-scale, poorly controllable concept for the academic community, which underlies the long-term, permanent modification of the human genome by contact with nitrosamines/NDSRIs, which ultimately leads to the generation of diverse cancers, but also melanoma in particular. The discovery of a (currently) unclassifiable number of nitroso derivatives/genome modifiers in the most commonly distributed drugs worldwide (in about 300 preparations according to the FDA/includes beta blockers/bisoprolol/nebivolol and ACE inhibitors/perindopril), their forced tolerability, attributed as a necessity or lack of alternative also to the present (but also to future periods), and their proven carcinogenicity (already 70 years ago), suggest a kind of creepy form of experiment to which public health is subjected worldwide. The creation of a universal nitroso-comfort of pharmaceutical companies and the regulation of a permanent intake of carcinogens in drugs for years to come, but also decades back, suggest possible cartel agreements between the regulation/distribution unit and that of production cycles.

E-waste comprising plastics causes serious ecological problems due to low degradability, but it is capable of producing a high amount of energy by thermochemical conversion. Therefore, the current study focuses on generating clean syngas through plasma gasification of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) based computer keyboard plastic waste (CKPW) using CO as a gasifying agent. The effect of feed rate, gas flow rate and plasma power on the syngas composition was studied.
