Millions of humans are exposed occupationally and environmentally to lead, mercury and
cadmium compounds. Mercury compounds are less abundant but some of them belong to …

Studies suggest that chronic lead (Pb) exposure may induce deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
damage. However, there is no synthesised evidence in this regard. We systematically …

Environmental toxicants viz lead or cadmium and phthalate esters (di (2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate [DEHP], dibutyl phthalate [DBP], and diethyl phthalate [DEP]) widely found in …

There are many discrepancies among the results of studies on the genotoxicity of lead. The
aim of the study was to explore lead-induced DNA damage, including oxidative damage, in …

Abstract Background. Exposure to lead (Pb) in environmental and occupational settings
continues to be a serious public health problem and may pose an elevated risk of genetic …

The cancer prevalence in the Malwa region of Punjab (1089/million/year) is much higher
than the national average cancer prevalence in India (800/million/year). The participants in …

Background Lead (Pb) is a widely used metal in modern industry and is regarded as a
health hazard. Although lead-induced genotoxicity has been confirmed, the direct evidence …

We investigated the adsorption of Cd ion as a primary contaminant heavy metal in drinking
water on titanium dioxide (TiO 2) and thiol-functionalized TiO 2 (thiol-TiO 2). The dispersion …

Dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) seems to be associated with reducing risk of
diseases. However, data about the influence of the DTAC on oxidative stress parameters are …

Biomonitoring of human populations exposed to chemical substances that can act as
potential mutagens or carcinogens, may enable the detection of damage and early disease …
