The Guidelines for drinking-water quality are accompanied by separate texts that provide background information substantiating the derivation of the Guidelines and providing guidance on good practice towards effective implementation. These are available as published texts, through the Internet (http://www.who.int/water_ sanitation_health/dwq/en/) and on CD-ROM. These can be ordered at http://ww...

This study reports the formation of solid vanillin/cyclodextrin inclusion complexes (vanillin/CD ICs) with the aim to enhance the thermal stability and sustained release of vanillin by inclusion complexation. The solid vanillin/CD ICs with three types of CDs (α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD) were prepared using the freeze-drying method; in addition, a coprecipitation method was also used in the case of γ-...

OBJECTIVES To estimate rates of cadmium (Cd) uptake from the digestive tract and changes in Cd in biological specimens after intake of Cd mainly in rice. METHODS Twenty-five young non-smoking Japanese female volunteers (20-23 in age) were recruited and a 20-d experimental study was conducted. With polished rice containing 0.004 ppm and 0.340 ppm of Cd, Meal L and Meal H were prepared. Approxi...

Cd and Zn have been shown to interact antagonistically or synergistically in various plants. In the present study of dwarf polish wheat (DPW)roots, Cd uptake was inhibited by Zn, and Zn uptake was inhibited by Cd, suggesting that Cd and Zn interact antagonistically in this plant. A study of proteomic changes showed that Cd, Zn, and Cd+Zn stresses altered the expression of 206, 303, and 190 prot...

OBJECTIVE The effects of cadmium (Cd) on birth weight have been discussed in the scientific literature. However, investigations on the effects of maternal body burden of Cd on the next generation during pregnancy and lactation have been limited. The relation between maternal exposure to Cd and pregnancy outcome or Cd in breast milk in Japanese mothers was investigated. METHODS Cd concentratio...

the isolated perfused rat liver (iprl) model has been used into toxicology study of rat liver. this model provides an opportunity at evaluation of liver function in an isolated setting. studies showed that cd, in a dose-dependent manner, induced toxic effects in iprl models, and these effects were associated with aminotransferase activity and lipid peroxidation. the aim of this study was to inv...

abstract in this study, interaction between amf (g. mosseae and glomus spp., respectively indigenous and non-indigenous of hm-contaminated areas) with cd-resistant pgprs (bacillus mycoides and micrococcus roseus, indigenous of contaminated areas) on the growth, cd and nutrient uptake of maize plant (zea mays l.) in cd polluted soil were investigated. with increasing levels of cd, shoot and root...

background: groundwater nitrate pollution is an important environmental problem in water resources management. in this regard, specific measures aiming at prevention of water pollution will be helpful to managers and decision-makers. identification of aquifers’ vulnerable areas and determination of groundwater protection zones using most widely used models, such as drastic and cd, are one of th...
