This article employs a Panel Mean Group Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PMG-ARDL) approach to investigate the interaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), fossil fuel, renewable energy consumption, trade, and their collective impact on life expectancy within the BRICS nations. The research reveals compelling findings. Notably, CO2 emissions and trade openness exhibit negative and statistically significant impact on life expectancy.

The effects of renewable energy, tourism, foreign direct investment, and income on environmental degradation have attracted the attention of many researchers, but to date, no researcher has examined the concurrent effects of these variables on CO emissions for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. Motivated by this gap in the literature, this study aims to analyze the determinants of carbon dioxide (CO) emissions under the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis for six ASEAN countries. To this end, the study utilizes the panel ARDL estimator and the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test from 1995 to 2018.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mutagenic and anti-mutagenic effects of Ecballium elaterium (EE) fruit juice which has an anti inflammatory effect using in vitro human peripheral lymphocytes. For the investigating the mutagenic effects of EE fruit juice, human peripheral lymphocytes was treated with three doses (18, 36 and 72 microl/1) of fruit juice alone for 24 and 48 h. For the investigating the anti-mutagenic effects of the EE fruit juice, the human lymphocytes also treated with the mixture of the fruit juice and 0.
