Article Abstract
A method was proposed for the determination of trace copper and lead in beer with flame atomic absorption spectrometry after preconcentration of copper and lead by rapid coprecipitation technique with 8-oxyquinoline-Mg(II) using manganese as an internal standard at pH 9. The standard addition recovery of lead is between 97.6%-103.0%. The detection limit is 6.28 x 10(-3) microg x mL(-1) for copper and 2.26 x 10(-2) microg x mL(-1) for lead when the sample volume is 100 mL. The effect of matrix can be overcome by the method and the results are satisfying. The method proposed here is rapid and has good reproducibility.

Background: Water contamination is a global challenge, primarily due to heavy metal ions like lead (Pb), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), andmercury (Hg) as well as dyes. These pollutants enter the ecosystem from industrial waste and runoff, accumulate in the environment and pose a high risk to humans, animals and plants. Various sensors, such as colorimetric sensors, and electrochemical sensors have been developed to detect these ions and dyes.

This exploratory study surveyed seven contaminated brownfields and Superfund sites in Southern California to identify locally adapted species tolerant of mixed organic and metal contamination under arid and semi-arid conditions. Five novel native plants, including Brickellia californica, Baccharis salicifolia, Baccharis sarothroides, Eriogonum fasciculatum, and Heterotheca grandiflora were identified as hyperaccumulators of copper (Cu), alongside a non-native species from the Asteraceae family, Helminthotheca echioides. Additional metal-accumulating plants (including native plants) for lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), and nickel (Ni) were identified, and warrant further evaluation for their phytoremediation potential.

This study aimed to assess the environmental and health risks of heavy metal contamination from e-waste recycling in Lahore, Pakistan. Surface soil (0-15 cm) samples were collected from recycling facilities, and heavy metal concentrations were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean concentrations (mg/kg) of Cadmium (Cd) (5.

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) represents a severe complication of cranial radiotherapy, substantially diminishing patients' quality of life. Unlike conventional brain injuries, RIBI evokes a unique chronic neuroinflammatory response that notably aggravates neurodegenerative processes. Despite significant progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms related to neuroinflammation, the specific and precise mechanisms that regulate neuroinflammation in RIBI and its associated toxicological effects remain largely unclear.

Copper (Cu), as an essential trace element in the human body, plays an important supporting role in the maintenance of various basic biological functions. Copper homeostasis in the human body is tightly regulated, and an imbalance in copper homeostasis may lead to various diseases. Recent studies have proposed the concept of cuproptosis, suggesting that cuproptosis is a regulated cell death triggered by excessive intracellular accumulation of copper, which is a recently discovered form of cell death different from the known cell death mechanisms.
