Human health risk via soil ingestion of potentially toxic elements and remediation potential of native plants near an abandoned mine spoil in Ghana
(2021)Integrated studies about potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sites near gold mining spoils, their contamination and human health risk, as well as remediation potential of native plants are limited. Therefore, our aim was ... -
Influence of Zeolite and Posidonia oceanica (L.) in the Reduction of Heavy Metal Uptake by Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Plants of Central Greece
(2017)In two soils from Central Greece, a pot experiment was conducted with the addition of mixture at various ratios of zeolite and compost (based on Posidonia oceanica (L.) leaves) applied at a rate of 5% w/w (calculated on a ... -
Integrated assessment of the impact of land use types on soil pollution by potentially toxic elements and the associated ecological and human health risk
(2022)The impact of land use type on the content of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the soils of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and the associated ecological and human health risks has drawn great attention. Consequently, ... -
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 ... -
Investigation of Extraction Methods for the Assessment of the Pseudo-Total Concentration of Potentially Toxic Elements in Moderately Contaminated Soils of Central Greece
(2020)The aim of this research was the investigation of the effectiveness of several extractants as possible assessment of pseudo-total As, Pb and Cu concentrations in moderately contaminated soils of Central Greece. In soils ... -
Legionella colonization of hotel water systems in touristic places of Greece: association with system characteristics and physicochemical parameters
(2018)This study aimed to assess the colonization of hotel water systems in central Greece and Corfu by Legionella, and to investigate the association between physicochemical parameters and Legionella colonization. Standardized ... -
Metal nanoparticles: Phytotoxicity on tomato and effect on symbiosis with the Fusarium solani FsK strain
(2021)The effect of copper (Cu-NPs, CuO-NPs), silver (Ag-NPs) and zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs) nanoparticles (NPs) on plant growth, physiological properties of tomato plants and their symbiotic relationships with the endophytic Fusarium ... -
Metal(loid) and isotopic tracing of Pb in soils, road and house dusts from the industrial area of Volos (central Greece)
(2020)This study examines the metal(loid) contents (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl and Zn) and Pb isotopes in different environmental compartments (soil, road dust, house dust) from the industrial vicinity of Volos, central ... -
Monitoring potentially toxic element pollution in three wheat-grown areas with a long history of industrial activity and assessment of their effect on human health in central Greece
(2021)Agricultural lands, especially those where wheat is cultivated, in the vicinity of intense anthropogenic activities may be laden with potentially toxic elements (PTEs), resulting in increased risk for human health. In this ... -
Mycobacterial immunomodulation and viral manipulation of neuronal copper efflux in the setting of sporadic Parkinson's disease: A multi – hit, outside – in hypothesis of its pathogenesis
(2020)Following Braak's hypothesis on the infectious pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson's disease (sPD), several bacteria and viruses have been investigated as likely culprits. Recent research has focused on neuroinvasive influenza ... -
Phytoremediation potential of twelve wild plant species for toxic elements in a contaminated soil
(2021)Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into consideration PTE concentrations in plants only, ... -
Pollution assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils of different taxonomy orders in central Greece
(2019)Four hundred fifty soil samples of the orders of Alfisols, Inceptisols, Endisols, and Vertisols from Karditsa, Trikala, and Larissa (Central Greece) were collected over a three-year period. In these samples we analyzed ... -
Potentially toxic elements exposure biomonitoring in the elderly around the largest polymetallic rare earth ore mining and smelting area in China
(2022)Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be released during mining operations and ore processing. The pollution and health risk related to PTEs in total suspended particulates (TSPs) around the largest polymetallic rare earth ... -
A probable role of copper in the comorbidity in Wilson's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob's Diseases: A case report
(2020)Background: To the best of our knowledgedd, there is currently no case in the literature reporting the comorbidity of Wilson's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), linked through copper. Case presentation: A 44-year-old ... -
The rat adequately reflects human responses to exercise in blood biochemical profile: A comparative study
(2015)Animal models are widely used in biology and the findings of animal research are traditionally projected to humans. However, recent publications have raised concerns with regard to what extent animals and humans respond ... -
