Seven derivatives of plant-derived hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA)—including 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic (2,3-DHB, pyrocatechuic), 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic (2,4-DHB, β-resorcylic), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic (2,5-DHB, gentisic), 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic (2,6-DHB, γ-resorcylic acid), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic (3,4-DHB, protocatechuic), 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic (3,5-DHB, α-resorcylic), and 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic (3,4,5-THB, gallic) acids—were studied for their structural biological properties. Anti-/pro-oxidant properties were...

High-performance ion chromatography and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry methods have been applied to estimate the content of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni in whole blood, plasma, urine obese nonobese children. The study was conducted on a group 81 Polish children age 6–17 years (37 males, 44 females). Obese were defined as those with body mass index (BMI) >95th percentile each age–gender-specific group. Statistical testing done by use nonparametric tests (Kruskal–Wallis's...

According to recent world wide studies, microplastics (MPs) have been found in many fish species; however, the majority of research has focused only on gastrointestinal tract, neglecting edible organs. This study aimed assess presence non-edible (gills, digestive tract) and organs (liver) three commercial species twoby-catch from southern Baltic Sea. Fish (Clupea harengus, Gadus morhua, Platichthy sflesus, Taurulus baublis, Cyclopterus lumpus) were caught 108 103 FAO Fishing Zones belonging...

Abstract UV filters in environmental compartments are a source of concern related to their ecotoxicological effects. However, little is known about filters’ toxicity, particularly those released into the environment as mixtures. Acute toxicity nine organic benzophenone-1, benzophenone-2, benzophenone-3, 4-methoxy benzylidene camphor, octocrylene, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, 2-ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane was determined. filter solutions were tested...

The interest in UV filters’ occurrence the environment has increased since they were recognized as “emerging contaminants” having potentially adverse impacts on many ecosystems and organisms. Increased worldwide demand for sunscreens is associated with temperature anomalies, high irradiance, changes tourist market. Recently, it been demonstrated that personal care products, including sunscreens, appear various geographic locations causing an ecotoxicological threat. Our goal was to determine...

The evaluation of air pollution is a critical concern due to its potential severe impacts on human health. Currently, vast quantities data are collected at high frequencies, and researchers must navigate multiannual, multisite datasets trying identify possible pollutant sources while addressing the presence noise sparse missing data. To address this challenge, multivariate analysis widely used with an increasing interest in neural networks deep learning along well-established chemometrics...

Successful rehabilitation programmes of river–floodplain systems require understanding environmental impacts restoring hydrological connectivity. The present study is based on a field experiment carried out between 2008 and 2013 in floodplain lowland river northern Poland, which two oxbow lakes isolated the 1920s were reconnected to main channel. Water macroinvertebrate samples collected three four times year from six sites (n = 114). After reconnection, water quality improved diversity...

Because of the increasing worldwide awareness concerning occurrence microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems, our goal was to analyze for first time quality and abundance MPs assess their seasonal variation two unique rivers flowing through low-land area northern Poland. Their uniqueness is due fact they flow landscape parks urbanized zones, possess mountainous characteristics, are habitats sea trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta) salmon salar). In this pioneering study, morphological types,...
