Biological Toxicity of Heavy Metal(loid)s in Natural Environments: From Microbes to Humans

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 10

Published: May 26, 2022

Excessive levels of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in natural environments pose a serious threat to living beings worldwide. HM exposure causes irreversible damage structural components and metabolic processes organisms, as has been observed multiple studies on various organisms. In the environment, biological individuals interact with others through food web rather than exist independently, which facilitates transfer HMs web. However, difference toxicity among different species not elucidated. This review provides information speciation migration clarify routes species. The differences biotoxicity species, from microbes humans, are emphasized. relationship between is confirmed by fact that can be transferred bioaccumulated along chain. Effective strategies for decreasing emissions removing environment briefly discussed. Finally, limitations present study future perspectives

Availability, Toxicology and Medical Significance of Antimony

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 19(8), P. 4669 - 4669

Published: April 12, 2022

Antimony has been known and used since ancient times, but its applications have increased significantly during the last two centuries. Aside from few medical applications, it also industrial acting as a flame retardant catalyst. Geologically, native antimony is rare, mostly found in sulfide ores. The main ore minerals of are antimonite jamesonite. extensive mining use led to introduction into biosphere, where can be hazardous, depending on bioavailability absorption. Detailed studies exist both active abandoned sites, urban settings, which document environmental impact pollution human physiology. Despite evident pronounced toxicity, some drugs, initially tartar emetics subsequently antimonials. latter treat tropical diseases their therapeutic potential for leishmaniasis means that they will not soon phased out, despite fact antimonial resistance beginning documented. mechanisms by introduced cells excreted still subject research; elucidation enable us better understand toxicity and, hopefully, improve nature delivery method drugs.

Controlled Glycolysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) to Oligomers under Microwave Irradiation Using Antimony(III) Oxide

ACS Applied Polymer Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 5(8), P. 6574 - 6584

Published: July 12, 2023

We report here the production of higher-order oligomers from glycolysis poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) by using microwave irradiation in a controlled fashion, instead its fully glycolyzed product, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalate (BHET). show that different catalysts can generate either BHET as ultimate product or higher PET under irradiation. Depolymerization waste with an average degree polymerization (DP) 417 water bottles was performed presence 0.25 wt % antimony(III) oxide (Sb2O3) catalyst at 240 °C and 400 W power, resulting oligomer yield 96.7% DP 37. Under these conditions, conversion to reached 100% only 5 min (with 10 ramping time) ethylene glycol weight ratio 2.5. In comparison, same reaction 0.04 zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2), well-known for glycolysis, produces monomer 96.3% yield. Our results demonstrated Sb2O3, is used extensively synthesis BHET, irradiation, be produce alternative complete chemical depolymerization monomer. These are more suitable being additives many applications high-quality second-generation products, including regenerated PET.

A review on sources of soil antimony pollution and recent progress on remediation of antimony polluted soils

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 266, P. 115583 - 115583

Published: Oct. 18, 2023

Antimony (Sb) is a serious toxic and non-essential metalloid for animals, humans, plants. The rapid increase in anthropogenic inputs from mining industrial activities, vehicle emissions, shoot activity increased the Sb concentration environment, which has become concern across globe. Hence, remediation of Sb-contaminated soils needs attention to provide safe healthy foods humans. Different techniques, including biochar (BC), compost, manures, plant additives, phyto-hormones, nano-particles (NPs), organic acids (OA), silicon (Si), microbial phytoremediation are being used globally remediate polluted soils. In present review, we described sources soil pollution, environmental impact antimony multi-faceted nature recent progress recommendations Sb-pollution. We also discussed success stories potential different practices Sb-polluted particular, various mechanisms, bio-sorption, bio-accumulation, complexation, electrostatic attraction, that can reduce toxicity by converting Sb-V into Sb-III. Additionally, identified research gaps need be filled future studies. Therefore, current review will help develop appropriate innovative strategies limit bioavailability sustainably manage hence reducing effects on environment human health.
