Metals reach humans through food and drinking water intake inhalation of airborne particles can have detrimental health effects in particular for children. The metals presented here (lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury) could lead to toxic such as neurotoxicity, mutagenicity, been classified (possible) carcinogens. Using population representative data from the German Environmental Survey 2014-2017 (GerES V) 3- 17-year-old children on cadmium blood (n = 720) mercury urine 2250) we describe...
The occurrence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water cycles poses a challenge to drinking quality safety. In order counteract the large knowledge gap regarding PFAS German water, 89 samples from all over Germany were collected with help residents analyzed for 26 by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). 20 recently regulated sum concentration (PFAS
Due to their beneficial properties, the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) is constantly increasing, especially in consumer-related areas, such as food packaging and additives, which leading an increased oral uptake ZnO NP. Consequently, aim our study was investigate cellular two differently sized NP (<50 nm <100 nm; 12–1229 µmol/L) using human intestinal cell lines (Caco-2 LT97) examine possible resulting toxic effects. nm) were internalized by both led intracellular changes....
Pool water is continuously circulated and reused after an extensive treatment including disinfection by chlorination, ozonation or UV treatment. In Germany, these methods are regulated DIN standard 19643. Recently, the has been extended a new method using hypobromous acid as disinfectant formed introducing ozone into with naturally artificially high bromide content during this study, we tested efficacy of ozone-bromine in comparison to hypochlorous flow-through test rig bacterial indicator...
The reactions of [RuCl2(═CHPh)(PCy3)2] or [RuHCl(η-H2)(PCy3)2] with the N-heterocyclic silylene :Si(NtBuCH)2 (ISitBu) affords coordinatively unsaturated complex [RuHCl(ISitBu)(PCy3)2]. For comparative purposes, corresponding [RuHCl(IiPr)(PCy3)2] (IiPr = :C(NiPrCH)2) was obtained from and IiPr.
Abstract Tridentate salphen‐type O,N,N′ chelators, upon acylation of the NH 2 group, are capable engaging an O,N,O′ coordination mode in addition to their inherent donor character. In six‐coordinate silicon complexes type SiL [L = N ‐(2‐ c arbamidophenyl)imine], these ligands were found exclusively form SiN O 4 spheres by tridentate capability. Selected L also shown preferably engage when incorporated five‐ and four‐coordinate compounds LSiPhX (X Cl, F) LSiPh , respectively. The modes herein...
In industrialized nations, human lead exposure has decreased significantly in recent decades. Nevertheless, due to its toxic effects, this heavy metal remains a public health concern with children and adolescents being particularly at risk. Europe nowadays, oral intake via food drinking water is the predominant pathway for lead. The objective of present study was investigate association between dietary factors blood (PbB) level 3- 17-year-old living Germany, using data from fifth German...
Abstract Background Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) offer beneficial properties for many applications, especially in the food sector. Consequently, as part of human chain, they are taken up orally. The toxicological evaluation orally ingested ZnO NP is still controversial. In addition, their physicochemical can change during digestion, which leads to an altered biological behaviour. Therefore, aim our study was investigate fate two different sized (< 50 nm and < 100 nm) vitro...
Kryptopyrrole (2,4-dimethyl-3-ethylpyrrole) was acylated with, for example, benzoyl chloride to afford 2-benzoyl-3,5-dimethyl-4-ethylpyrrole (L(1)H). With SiCl4 this ligand reacts under liberation of HCl and formation the complex L(1)2SiCl2. In related reactions with HSiCl3 or H2SiCl2, same chlorosilicon is formed H2 H2, respectively. The chlorine atoms L(1)2SiCl2 can be replaced by fluoride triflate using ZnF2 Me3Si-OTf, use a supporting base (triethylamine) required complexation...
The first examples of silicon compounds 1,1-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)ethenes have been synthesized via salt metathesis from a 2-fold lithiated dipyrromethene and different diorganodichlorosilanes (i.e., dimethyldichlorosilane, diphenyldichlorosilane, 1,1-dichlorosilacyclobutane). Herein we report on their molecular structures, optical properties, some reactivity patterns.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) are often used in the food sector, among others, because of their advantageous properties. As part human chain, they inevitably taken up orally. The debate on toxicity orally ingested ZnO NP continues due to incomplete data. Therefore, aim our study was examine effects two differently sized (<50 nm and <100 primary particle size; 123-614 µmol/L) model systems intestinal barrier. Differentiated Caco-2 enterocytes were grown Transwell inserts monoculture also...
Hexacoordinate silicon complexes L2SiX2 (L = a 2-benzoylpyrrol-1-yl derivative, X CN, NCS) were synthesized from L2SiCl2 by ligand exchange with trimethylsilyl reagents Me3SiX. In the presence of [Tp*CuNCMe] and Me3SiCN complex L2Si(NC(CuTp*))2 was obtained, which contains linear Cu-CN-Si-NC-Cu unit (Tp* hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato).
