Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper: a case study to evaluate the influence of visitors on the Museum preservation systems

Oriana Motta et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of visitors on museum environments by measuring the stable carbon isotopic ratio of CO2 and the concentration of NH3, successfully confirming their influence on indoor atmospheric delta C-13 values and NH3 concentration. This provides a new monitoring method for museums in indoor air quality protection, serving as a tool for managing and regulating visitor numbers.

BMI modifies the association between dietary intake and serum levels of PCBs

Tuo Lan et al.

Summary: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants that have carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and endocrine disrupting effects. This study found a positive association between dietary intake of PCBs and serum levels, with an effect modification by body mass index (BMI). Older individuals and non-Hispanic participants tended to have higher levels of Sigma 37-PCB in serum.

Unintentionally produced polychlorinated biphenyls in pigments: An updated review on their formation, emission sources, contamination status, and toxic effects

Hoang Quoc Anh et al.

Summary: This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the formation, emission, environmental occurrence, and potential adverse effects of unintentionally produced polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in pigments. PCBs are typically formed during the manufacturing of organic pigments and can contaminate atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic ecosystems, affecting organisms living in these environments. The variability in PCB concentrations and profiles among pigment types and producers highlights the importance of appropriate monitoring, management, and abatement strategies for these pollutants.

Effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls on Animal Reproductive Systems and Epigenetic Modifications

Qi-Long He et al.

Summary: PCBs are highly toxic endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can have profound and long-lasting effects on animals. The accumulation of PCBs in animal tissues and body fluids through biomagnification can lead to decreased fertility, interference with endocrine processes, and the development of various diseases, including cancer. The effects of PCBs on reproductive systems can be passed on to offspring, suggesting potential epigenetic modifications.

Summary: The global impact of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus has highlighted the potential role of high air pollution levels in contributing to outbreaks of COVID-19. Environmental pollutants can cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune imbalances, potentially increasing susceptibility to various pathogens, including viruses. Sperm quality may serve as an indicator of environmental damage and sensitivity to virus insults in highly polluted areas, helping to predict the risk of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.

The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor mediates reproductive toxicity of polychlorinated biphenyl congener 126 in rats

Violet Klenov et al.

Summary: PCB126 exposure had significant effects on the reproductive system of WT rats, while AHR-/- rats responded differently to PCB126. PCB126 exposure resulted in decreases in multiple indicators of the uterus and ovaries in WT rats, while AHR-/- rats showed changes in some reproductive hormone levels. The study results support a functional role for AHR in the female reproductive tract, demonstrate the necessity of AHR in PCB126-induced reprotoxicity, and highlight the potential risk of dioxin-like compounds on female reproduction.
