Even relatively low levels of metals exposure may impact health, particularly among vulnerable populations such as infants and young children. However, little is known about the interplay between simultaneous metal exposures, common in real-life scenarios, their association with specific dietary patterns. In this study, we have evaluated adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD) urinary concentrations individually an mixture 713 children aged 4-5-years from INMA cohort study. We used a validated food frequency questionnaire calculate two MD indexes scores: aMED rMED. These gather information on various groups within score differently. To measure cobalt, copper, zinc, molybdenum, selenium, lead, cadmium biomarkers, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), ion chromatography (IC) equipment for arsenic speciation analysis. applied linear regression quantile g-computation, adjusted confounders, analyse mixture.

Impact of cobalt and proline foliar application for alleviation of salinity stress in radish

BMC Plant Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24(1)

Published: April 16, 2024

Abstract Salinity stress ranks among the most prevalent globally, contributing to soil deterioration. Its negative impacts on crop productivity stem from mechanisms such as osmotic stress, ion toxicity, and oxidative all of which impede plant growth yield. The effect cobalt with proline mitigating salinity impact in radish plants is still unclear. That’s why current study was conducted aim explore different levels Co cultivated salt affected soils. There were four cobalt, i.e., (0, 10, 15 20 mg/L) applied CoSO 4 two (0 0.25 mM), foliar. treatments a complete randomized design (CRD) three replications. Results showed that improvement shoot length (∼ 20%), root 23%), dry weight 19%), fresh 41%) compared control. significant increase chlorophyll, physiological biochemical attributes control confirms efficacy conjunction 10 mg/L for stress. In conclusion, application can help alleviate plants. However, multiple location experiments various needs in-depth investigations validate findings.

Elemental Analysis of Five Medicinal Plants Species Growing in North Ossetia Using Neutron Activation Analysis

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(6), P. 1269 - 1269

Published: June 12, 2024

One important category of traditional remedies is medicinal plants, which are widely consumed by the population and often subjected to contamination. For first time, elemental composition five wild plants traditionally in Republic North Ossetia—brook-mint (Mentha longifolia), oregano (Origanum vulgare), St. John’s wort (Hypеricum perforаtum), thyme (Thymus daghestanicus), fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium)—and corresponding soil samples was determined. This investigation aimed assess degree toxic element accumulation possible effect analyzed on human health. The analysis encompassed quantification 36 major minor elements samples, alongside detection 23 plant using instrumental neutron activation analysis. According contamination enrichment factors, were calculated order level pollution, such as As, Sb, Zn, U may originate from both geogenic anthropogenic sources. In all most abundant K Ca their content ranged 9870 49,500 mg·kg−1 5400 20,000 mg·kg−1, respectively, while among microelements, Fe (54–2080 mg·kg−1) Mn (27.8–190 can be highlighted abundant. transfer factor estimate metal uptake plants. highest values obtained for Mo, K, Ca, Zn. daily intake metals health risk index safety collected below threshold suggesting a probable non-carcinogenic effect. Principal component linear discriminant used classification techniques. principal allowed us define main groups associate them with sources origin, enabled discriminate species.
