Abstract Ferricyanide Fe(CN) 6 3- is one of the most stable cyanometallic complexes present in the gold mining effluents. This cyanocomplex is hard to degrade by natural attenuation and generates a negative impact on aquatic environments. Although free cyanide (CN-) can be obtained by acidifying the solution, the CN- is lethal for all forms of life...

Aging is a major cause of many degenerative diseases. The most intuitive consequence of aging is mainly manifested on the skin, resulting in cumulative changes in skin structure, function and appearance, such as increased wrinkles, laxity, elastosis, telangiectasia, and aberrant pigmentation of the skin. Unlike other organs of the human body, skin ...

Photodegradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) is highly important in humic waters of peatland regions, yet the coupling between organic and organo-mineral colloids, trace metals and bioavailability of photodegraded products is poorly known. Here we studied photo-destruction of organo-mineral colloids induced by UV-irradiation of sterile-filter...

Exposing the skin to solar UV radiation induces cascades of signaling pathways and biological alterations such as redox imbalance, suppression of antioxidant genes and programmed cell death. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use RNA-Seq to unravel the effects of UV radiation on Normal Human Adult Fibroblast cells (NHDF). Cells were exposed to...

BackgroundSunlight is one of the main harmful exogenous factors that induce the reactive oxygen species formation. The human skin is the first line of photoprotection against harmful exogenous factors, such as UV radiations. The topical application of sunscreens, containing UV-B filters, is widely used to protect against UV-induced damage. Octylmet...
Fotodegradacija odtisa, izdelanega s kapljičnim tiskalnikom, je večplasten proces. Pri tem sodelujejo številni dejavniki: črnilo kot kompleksna mešanica kolorantov in različnih spremljevalnih snovi, papir, ki poleg različnih vlaken vsebuje tudi druge komponente, kot so na primer optična belilna sredstva, ter zunanji dejavniki, kot so temperatura, v...

AbstractKinetic patterns of the degradation of Methyl Orange (MO) dye are studied upon persulfate (PS) and quasi-monochromatic UV radiation (mercury-free source: KrCl-excilamp, 222 nm, referred to below as UV) treatment in the presence or absence of iron ions. Oxidative systems can be placed in the following order according to the efficiency and ra...

UVB radiation results in the formation of potentially mutagenic photoproducts in the DNA of epidermal skin cells. In vitro approaches have demonstrated that the nucleotide excision repair (NER) machinery removes UV photoproducts from DNA in the form of small (∼30-nt-long), excised, damage-containing DNA oligonucleotides (sedDNAs). Though this proce...
