The prostate gland is one of the main sites of hyperplasia and cancer in elderly men. Numerous factors have been demonstrated to disrupt prostate homeostasis, including exposure to environmental pollutants. Arsenic is a metalloid found ubiquitously in soil, air, and water, which favors human poisoning through the involuntary intake of contaminated drinking water and food and has harmful effects by increasing the oxidative stress response.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are involuntary by-products of incomplete combustion and are highly toxic to humans and the environment. The Malaysian peat is often acidic or extremely acidic having high levels of chlorine and/or other organic acids that act as catalysts or precursors in PCDD/Fs formation. This study aims to predict PCDD/Fs emissions in peat soil using an artificial neural network (ANN) approach based on limited emission data and selected physico-chemical properties.

The use of Sargassum spp., a brown invasive algae, for the production of biochars (BCs) or activated carbons (ACs) and their efficiency to sequestrate chlordecone (CLD) in soil has been recently suggested. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of microwave prepared Sargasso biochar (BCS) amendment in Andosol on the bioavailability of chlordecone in laying hens and piglets, when exposed to this matrix.

PCBs, PCDD/Fs, and Chlordecone (CLD) are POPs found in soils and transferred to animals through involuntary soil ingestion. In this frame, the amendment of contaminated soil with porous matrices, like Biochars (BCs) and Activated Carbons (ACs), is a promising technique for reducing this transfer. In this study, the efficiency of 3 biochars and 3 activated carbons was assessed by amending 2% (by weight) of these matrices on (i) CLD or (ii) PCBs and PCDD/Fs contaminated artificial soils.
