This work aims at developping a multidisciplinary approach to highlight the correlation between the toxicity of alumina engineered nanoparticles (NP) and their physicochemical characteristics. Accuracy of measurements depends on cell production after contact with particles, but also depends on the ability of biomolecules to get adsorbed on the NP [1]. That’s why, mechanisms of biomolecules adso...

Advanced oxidation technology is attracting attention as an effective method of water treatment that can degrade various organic pollutants. The combination photocatalysis (UV) and ozone (O 3 ) titanium dioxide (TiO 2 a promising advanced technology. ozone, hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet light other oxidants for catalytic also the current mainstream They effectively emerging pollutants alleviat...

BACKGROUND: Pesticide toxicity is a serious problem in poor and developing countries agricultural communities, including Indonesia.
 AIM: This study aims to design an effort of pesticide prevention.
 METHODS: participation action research look, think, cycle use process as qualitative study. The participants were taken by purposive technique data collected with focus group discussion, ...

wastewater production is increasing every year. the variety of contaminants necessitates the application of effective and advanced treatment methods. among the materials that  are predominantly used for wastewater treatment are carbon nanotubes. exposure to the residuals of carbon nanotubes after wastewater treatment through drinking, inhalation, and dermal contact during regular indoor activit...

BACKGROUND Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common clinical condition in industrialized countries and often causes occupational diseases. Animal model of contact sensitivity (CS) is commonly used to study ACD in mice and can be induced by skin application of haptens. It has been previously shown that CS is mediated by CD4(+) or CD(8+) T effector cells. More recently it was found that also...

Risks to non-target species from pesticides have been a concern since the 1960s, but arthropods never received attention as vertebrate species. Pesticide exposure could be contributing factor in decline of endangered Cicindela nevadica lincolniana, well declines predaceous and pollinating insects. Consequently, we examined susceptibility three common (glyphosate, bifenthrin, imidacloprid) larva...

We investigated the repellency and toxicity of eight plant extracts containing celangulin, cnidium lactone, matrine, nicotine, pyrethrins, rotenone, stemonine veratrine against western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande; Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Flowers treated with 0.05% rotenone harbored fewer in two- multiple-choice bioassays. When evaluated at concentrations varying from 0....

Background; Recently, there has been a great concern about the consumption of dyes because of their toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and persistence in the aquatic environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of using Lemna minor for Acid Blue 292 (AB292) dye removal from aqueous solution and to determine the optimal conditions. Methods; This experimen...
