Article Synopsis
  • Wound infections can occur when pathogens like bacteria and fungi enter through damaged skin, leading to various complications in healthcare and everyday life.
  • Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and cinnamic acid (CA) are being studied for their combined effectiveness in enhancing wound healing due to their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Tests showed that ZnO-CN nanoparticles are safe and promote faster wound closure while effectively inhibiting harmful microorganisms, suggesting they are promising agents for treating wounds.

Nanoparticles (NPs) are continuously being developed for many applications including imaging, biomedicine, and everyday products. It is difficult to avoid contact with NPs such as titanium dioxide (TiO) NPs, which are widely used in sunscreens. However, the safety of TiO NPs for skin contact and inhalation remains controversial.

Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are ubiquitous substances both in the environment and everyday products that interfere with the hormonal system. Growing evidence demonstrates their adverse effects on the organism, including the reproductive system and the prostate, owing to their (anti)estrogenic or antiandrogenic effects. Since EDs can interact with steroid hormone actions on-site, understanding the levels of intraprostatic EDs in conjunction with steroids may hold particular significance.

Article Synopsis
  • UV filters are common contaminants in various biological fluids and the environment due to their widespread use in everyday products, particularly cosmetics.
  • A study of 742 cosmetic products (excluding sunscreens) found that popular UV filters include butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, octyl methoxycinnamate, and others, with make-up and perfumes being more likely to contain them compared to hygiene products.
  • Specifically, 30.7% of skincare products, nearly 50% of makeup, and over 74% of perfumes tested were found to have at least one UV filter present.

In a changing environmental scenario, acid rain can have a significant impact on aquatic ecosystems. Acidification is known to produce corrosion in metals, hence increasing their harmful effects on the environment, organisms and human health. The prevalent use of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in everyday products raises concerns regarding exposure and nanotoxicity even in these acidified conditions.
