Abstract Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a global environmental pollutant that increases
risk for several types of cancers and is increasingly being recognized as a neurotoxicant …

Extensive industrial activities have led to an increase of the content of chromium in the
environment, which causes serious pollution to the surrounding water, soil and atmosphere …

Chromium (Cr) is a naturally occurring metallic element found in the Earth's crust. While
trivalent chromium ([Cr (III)] is considered non-carcinogenic, hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] …

Genomic instability consists of a range of genetic alterations within the genome that
contributes to tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. It is a well-established characteristic …

Air pollution, which includes particulate matter (PM), is classified in group 1 as a carcinogen
to humans by the International Agency for Research in Cancer. Specifically, PM exposure …

To examine the mechanism of hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)]-induced carcinogenesis, a
cross-sectional study in workers with or without exposure to Cr (VI) as well as in vitro …

DNA damage response (DDR) is a regulatory system responsible for maintaining genome
integrity and stability, which can sense and transduce DNA damage signals. The severity of …

A key hypothesis for how hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] causes cancer is that it drives
chromosome instability (CIN), which leads to neoplastic transformation. Studies show …

The review examines the most recent advances on the effect of persistent pollutants on sea
turtles. Research on this topic is still limited, especially that related to toxicity, since they are …

Human exposure to environmental toxicants with diverse mechanisms of action is a growing
concern. In addition to well-recognized carcinogens, various chemicals in environmental …
