Circulating platinum (Pt) is detectable in the blood of Pt-treated cancer patients for over a decade after treatment. Prolonged exposure to Pt, combination with adverse compounds from nutrition and lifestyle, such as cadmium (Cd), could increase risk second cancers. The aim this study was investigate effects simultaneous Cd- Pt-compounds on oxidative DNA damage possible protective zinc (Zn) selenium (Se). aqueous solutions PtCl4, CdCl2 × H2O, ZnCl2 Na2SeO3 were added, alone or combination,...
Atmospheric bulk and wet deposition samples were collected simultaneously at the background coastal site in Eastern Middle Adriatic region order to assess impact of major ions (Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, Na+, K+, NH4+, Mg2+, Ca2+) on acidity distinguish main sources. Higher ion levels observed during cold period, especially for Cl-, Mg2+ K+. Dust intrusion caused significant increases Ca2+, while open-fire events increased Deposition showed seasonal differences as well influence dust intrusion. Low...
This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition of sweet and hot ground paprika originating from different production sites in Eastern Danube Region, i.e. Croatia, Serbia Hungary. Obtained results showed that level metabolites as well antioxidant activity samples varied greatly among locations. For first time, clear differences chemical obtained two Hungarian wax pepper cultivars produced three states region were determined. Averagely, Croatia had highest carotenoid content but...
Fine particulate matter, such as PM2.5 and PM1, is a harmful air pollutant from natural human sources. It impacts the climate causes respiratory issues. It's classified Group 1 carcinogen, it's most form of pollution, causing heart lung disease premature death. Aerosols' composition toxicity vary depending on their source atmospheric chemistry. The carbon fraction consisting both elemental organic carbon, may cause adverse health effects due to its reductive potential species. also...
Fine particulate matter fraction (PM2.5) is a hazardous risk to human health due its small size, complex chemical composition, and high specific surface area. Different carbonaceous compounds of which some have mutagenic cancerogenic properties could bind the PM2.5 by inhalation penetrate body further leads development severe respiratory cardiovascular illnesses, even premature death. According World Health Organization (WHO)  lower air quality elevated levels in rural urban areas...
Garlic is a valuable source material for medicines due to its known antitumor, hypolipidaemic, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. This study compares the protective effects of conventionally grown (CG) in vitro propagated garlic (PG) against hydrogen peroxide-induced cytotoxicity HepG2 cells their antioxidant activity. used this was obtained by planting cloves or transplants PG directly field. At end vegetation period, CG were sampled extracts prepared experiment. Compared bulbs,...
Na području Centralnog uređaja za pročišćavanje otpadnih voda grada Zagreba (CUPOVZ) od 2004. godine provode se ciljana mjerenja imisijskih koncentracija sumporovodika (H<sub>2</sub>S), amonijaka (NH<sub>3</sub>) i ukupnih merkaptana (R−SH). U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati provedenih tijekom 2017. na dvije mjerne postaje: Biologija-sjever Biologija-jug, koje smještene u krugu CUPOVZ-a. 24-satni uzorci...
The Mediterranean basin continuously receives anthropogenic aerosols from industrial and domestic activities the European region, as well high rates of aeolian material in form mineral dust northern Africa. Moreover, combustion dominates over natural dust, whereas vegetation fires frequently burn throughout coastal zone, especially during hot dry summers. Once atmosphere, become an important external source nutrients but also toxins to marine ecosystem through atmospheric deposition (AD),...
