Process analytical technology (PAT), a quality assurance program for the pharmaceutical industry developed by the US Food and Drug Administration, enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to control critical process parameters (CPPs). When manufacturers need to ensure content consistency across products, such as…
Environmental factors, including pollution, that might help ‘superbugs’ become resistant to antibiotics is set to be investigated by the University of Surrey. Findings will help address this serious public health problem by identifying trends and emerging areas that require further…
In a recent study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, researchers quantified the residues of eight neonicotinoids in human bile samples to understand the association between internal neonicotinoid exposure and hepatotoxic outcomes. Study: First evidence of neonicotinoid insecticides in…
In many areas, bottled water (BW) is considered safer than drinking water from the public supply. This is due to the public perception that environmental contamination affects the latter but is avoided in the former. However, this is unverified by…
In a recent study published in PNAS, researchers characterized the wettability of fibrous layers of N95 respirators or face masks using contact angle (CA) goniometers. Study: Multiscale landscaping of droplet wettability on fibrous layers of facial masks. Image Credit: danielmarin/Shutterstock…
In rural Bangladesh, areas with high levels of arsenic contamination in drinking water, compared to areas with less contamination, have a higher prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in both water and child stool samples, according to a new study publishing…
Nearly every person in the United States has been exposed to per- and polyfluorinated alky substances (PFAS) at some point in their life. These “forever chemicals” are the focus of a targeted investigation by University of Kentucky Superfund Research Center…
In a recent study published in the journal Microbial Risk Analysis, a team of researchers from France performed a qualitative risk assessment to determine the probability of transmission of monkeypox through the handling and consumption of food. Review: Risk of…
A herb that grows abundantly in coastal areas can be used to rid the soil around nuclear plants of cesium, a radioactive by-product of reactors, says a new study. Sea purslane or Sesuvium portulacastrum is a salt-tolerant, perennial flowering succulent…
In a recent study published in The Lancet Microbe, researchers conducted an observational study to determine environmental contamination with the monkeypox virus in hospital isolation rooms of monkeypox patients to understand potential exposures to healthcare workers. Study: Air and surface…
