The role of mosses in 'clean and green' phytoremediation technology: a review paper.
Biometals
February 2025
College Natural and Computational Science, Department of Biology, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia.
Phytoremediation, the practice of removing heavy metals from contaminated sites using plants, has emerged as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly green technology to restore damaged ecosystems. Mosses, in particular, demonstrate high phytoremediation potential due to their ability to accumulate heavy metals such as lead, zinc, copper, chromium, cadmium, and iron from contaminated soil and water. This review systematically examines 37 research articles published from 2000 to 2022, focusing on the on the use of mosses for phytoremediation.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that afflicts individuals repeatedly and cannot be cured at present, which has seriously affected the quality of life of patients. Minerals Containing Rubidium (MCR) from Guangxi Yuechengling, which Professor Zhao Lichun purified, were explored. Against this backdrop, the present study investigates the efficacy of rubidium salt in ulcerative colitis.

November 2024
Department of Medical Oncology, Centre Leon Berard, Lyon, France.
Objectives: While some metals have been reported as carcinogens or potential carcinogens, only few modern-standard datasets including a large number of elements are available. The present analysis established a first trace elements spectrum by relating the concentration of metals and trace elements in the serum of sarcoma patients with survival data.
Methods: Patients with sarcoma and controls were retrospectively selected from the International Sarcoma Kindred Study database (ISKS).

Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights a possible link between trace elements and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), aiming to clarify how these elements affect SLE in newly diagnosed patients.
- The study analyzed blood samples from 110 SLE patients and 110 healthy individuals, using advanced statistical methods to assess the relationship between different trace elements and SLE.
- Findings indicate that higher levels of lithium, vanadium, and lead are associated with an increased risk of SLE, while selenium and barium appear to offer protective effects, suggesting a complex relationship among these elements.
Biomonitoring of firefighters' exposure to priority pollutant metal(loid)s during wildland fire combat missions: Impact on urinary levels and health risks.

Article Synopsis
- Wildland firefighters face exposure to toxic metal(loid)s released during wildfires, with this study being the first to focus on how firefighting activities affect urinary metal(loid) levels in these workers.
- The research found that smokers generally had higher baseline levels of certain metals like zinc and cadmium compared to non-smokers.
- After firefighting efforts, significant increases in toxic metals were observed, especially for non-smokers, with many firefighters exceeding recommended safety levels for multiple metal(loid)s, highlighting potential health risks.
