Mycotoxins Affecting Animals, Foods, Humans, and Plants: Types, Occurrence, Toxicities, Action Mechanisms, Prevention, and Detoxification Strategies—A Revisit

Foods, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(6), P. 1279 - 1279

Mycotoxins are produced by fungi and known to be toxic humans animals. Common mycotoxins include aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone, patulin, sterigmatocystin, citrinin, ergot alkaloids, deoxynivalenol, fumonisins, trichothecenes, Alternaria toxins, tremorgenic mycotoxins, fusarins, 3-nitropropionic acid, cyclochlorotine, sporidesmin, etc. These can pose several health risks both animals humans, including death. As simultaneously occur in nature, especially foods feeds, the detoxification and/or total removal of remains challenging. Moreover, given that volume scientific literature regarding is steadily on rise, there need for continuous synthesis body knowledge. To supplement existing information, knowledge affecting animals, foods, plants, with more focus types, toxicity, prevention measures, strategies employed removal, were revisited this work. Our revealed mycotoxin decontamination, control, cut across pre-and post-harvest preventive measures. In particular, pre-harvest measures good agricultural practices, fertilization/irrigation, crop rotation, using resistant varieties crops, avoiding insect damage, early harvesting, maintaining adequate humidity, removing debris from preceding harvests. On other hand, processing, chemical, biological, physical Additionally, chemical-based methods emerging involve usage chitosan, ozone, nanoparticles, plant extracts.

Occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs) and pesticides in African water systems: A need for timely intervention

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8(3), P. e09143 - e09143

Published: March 1, 2022

The occurrence of emerging contaminants (ECs) such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs) and pesticides in the aquatic environment has raised serious concerns about their adverse effects on species humans. Because toxicity bioactive nature, PPCPs have more potential to impair water systems than any other contaminants, causing several effects, including antibiotic resistance, reproductive impairment, biomagnification, bioaccumulation, etc. Over 35 publications from Africa reported fate African with little or no data remediation control. As a result, adequate intervention strategies are needed for regulating persistence systems.

Microplastics in the soil environment: Focusing on the sources, its transformation and change in morphology

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 896, P. 165291 - 165291

Published: July 3, 2023

Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic pieces less than 5 mm in size. Previous studies have focused on the sources, transports, and fates of MPs marine or sediment environments. However, limited attention has been given to role land as primary source MPs, how polymers transformed into through biological abiotic effects during transport process remains unclear. Here, we focus exploration main sources soil, highlighting that MP generation is not solely a byproduct production but can also result from impact factors transport. This review presents new perspective understanding degradation considering soil distinct fluid suggesting transformation change mediated by occur surface, while biodegradation occurs interior. viewpoint suggested because some becomes obvious interior, whose surface expected colonize microorganisms, gradually considered carbon independent photosynthesis net production. emphasizes need understand basic information for rational evaluation its environmental toxicity. Such enables better control pollution affected areas prevents contamination unaffected regions. Finally, knowledge gaps future research directions necessary advancements this field provided.
