This paper aimed to clarify whether maternal inhalation of engineered nanoparticles (NP) may constitute a hazard to pregnancy and fetal development, primarily based on experimental animal studies of NP and air pollution particles. Overall, it is plau... Read More about A perspective on the developmental toxicity of inhaled nanoparticles.

The total margin of exposure of ethanol and acetaldehyde for heavy drinkers consuming cider or vodka (2015)
Journal Article
Lachenmeier, D. W., Gill, J. S., Chick, J., & Rehm, J. (2015). The total margin of exposure of ethanol and acetaldehyde for heavy drinkers consuming cider or vodka. Food and Chemical Toxicology, 83, 210-214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2015.05.006

Heavy drinkers in Scotland may consume 1600 g ethanol per week. Due to its low price, cider may be
preferred over other beverages. Anecdotal evidence has linked cider to specific health hazards beyond
other alcoholic beverages. To examine this hypo... Read More about The total margin of exposure of ethanol and acetaldehyde for heavy drinkers consuming cider or vodka.
