GROWTH OF WEED AND CROP PLANTS UNDER CADMIUM STRESS AND THEIR PHYTOREMEDIATION POTENTIAL
(2009)Phytoremediation is a promising new technology to remediate ecosystems using certain plants that can accumulate and withstand relatively high concentrations of a pollutant. Growth traits and cadmium (Cd) uptake of two weeds ... -
Hazardous enrichment of toxic elements in soils and olives in the urban zone of Lavrio, Greece, a legacy, millennia-old silver/lead mining area and related health risk assessment
(2022)Lavrio is a Greek town with several abandoned Ag/Pb mines. In this study, 19 potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were measured in soil, weeds, and olives. Levels of seven of the studied PTEs in soil were highly elevated: Zn ... -
Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods
(2009)As genetically modified (GM) foods are starting to intrude in our diet concerns have been expressed regarding GM food safety. These concerns as well as the limitations of the procedures followed in the evaluation of their ... -
Hexavalent chromium release from lignite fly ash and related ecotoxic effects
(2013)Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is a pollutant of immense concern due to its high mobility to water sources and highly toxic properties. In most cases, Cr(VI) could be released from lignite fly ash in aquatic environment when ... -
How apple responds to boron excess in acidic and limed soil
(2013)Two year-old apple plants (Malus domestica cv. Red Chief Delicious) were grown in an acidic and limed soil, and fertilized with B (0, 1, 3 and 5 mg kg(-1) soil). Fresh matter weight of plants was positively correlated with ... -
How extraction method affects yield, fatty acids composition and bioactive properties of cardoon seed oil?
(2018)Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.; Asteraceae) is a perennial species with several uses, especially in the industry of energy production, while it is classified as a non-conventional energy crop within the European Union (EU). ... -
Hypospadias in offspring is associated with chronic exposure of parents to organophosphate and organochlorine pesticides
(2014)We have currently evaluated the possible association between hypospadias and exposure to organophosphorus (OP) and organochlorine (OC) pesticides. For this purpose, we measured the dialkyl phosphate metabolites of ... -
The Impact of Intermediate Time between Chemotherapy and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy to the Radiation Induced Skin Toxicity for Breast Adjuvant Treatment
(2014)To evaluate the impact of intermediate time between chemotherapy and radiotherapy (ITCR) to skin toxicity for a hypofractionated irradiation schedule. Forty-four patients with stage I-II invasive breast cancer receiving ... -
Insecticidal efficacy of six new pyrrole derivatives against four stored-product pests
(2019)Several pyrrole derivatives exhibit insecticidal activity and can be effective as grain protectants. In the present study, we evaluate the insecticidal efficacy of six novel pyrrole derivatives, namely methyl 3-(methylth ... -
Interactive toxic effects of heavy metals and humic acids on Vibrio fischeri
(2006)The effect of humic acids (HAs) on the toxicity of copper, zinc, and lead was investigated using the photobacterium Vibrio fischeri (Microtox test) as a test organism. The effects of HAs on metal toxicity were evaluated ... -
Lack of synergistic nephrotoxicity between vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam in a rat model and a confirmatory cellular model
(2020)Vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam are reported in clinical studies to increase acute kidney injury (AKI). However, no clinical study has demonstrated synergistic toxicity, only that serum creatinine increases. To ... -
Land spreading of wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry and potential effects on soil microbes: Effects of the antioxidant ethoxyquin and its metabolites on ammonia oxidizers
(2016)Thiabendazole (TBZ), imazalil (IMZ), ortho-phenylphenol (OPP), diphenylamine (DPA), and ethoxyquin (EQ) are used in fruitpackaging plants (FPP) with the stipulation that wastewaters produced by their application would be ... -
Lettuce facing microcystins-rich irrigation water at different developmental stages: Effects on plant performance and microcystins bioaccumulation
(2017)This study investigated the microcystins (MCs)-rich irrigation water effect on lettuce of different developmental stages, i.e. during a two months period, covering the whole period from seed germination to harvest at ... -
Level of contamination assessment of potentially toxic elements in the urban soils of Volos city (central Greece)
(2021)A three-year study, designed to record the level of potentially toxic elements within the urban complex in the city of Volos, Greece, was carried out between 2018 and 2020. For the needs of the aforementioned study, 62 ... -
”LOVE TO HATE” pesticides: felicity or curse for the soil microbial community? An FP7 IAPP Marie Curie project aiming to establish tools for the assessment of the mechanisms controlling the interactions of pesticides with soil microorganisms
(2016)Pesticides end up in soil where they interact with soil microorganisms in various ways. On the Yin Side of the interaction, pesticides could exert toxicity on soil microorganisms, while on the Yang side of interaction, ... -
