متن کاملPesticides and Parkinson’s Disease: The Legacy of Contaminated Well Water
Nanotechnology holds the promise of vastly expanding our ability to clean up hazardous waste sites and decontaminate polluted groundwater in situ. Polychlorinated biphenyls, organic solvents, petroleum products, arsenic, and many more contaminants are on the list that specifically engineered nanoparticles could rapidly remove from contaminated soil and water, saving billions of dollars that wou...
متن کاملToxic Effects of Pesticides: a Review on Cytogenetic Biomonitoring Studies
Pesticides constitute a heterogeneous category of chemicals specifically designed for the control of pests, weeds or plant diseases. Biological monitoring provides a useful tool to estimate the genetic risk deriving from an integrated exposure to a complex mixture of chemicals. Studies available in scientific literature have essentially focused on cytogenetic end-points to evaluate the potentia...
