Abstract:
... In this work, we report a newly developed paper-based analytical device (PAD) for determining formaldehyde in foods. Formaldehyde (FA) is considered as a carcinogen and classified as a Type 2 hazardous substance but it is still illegally use as a preservative in many foods to prevent them from spoilage and increase storage time. Current technologies for quantifying FA in foods are expensive, requi ...

Abstract:
... Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is ubiquitous and moderately persistent in the environment, and it is an identified human carcinogen. Previous animal experiments indicate that toxic mechanisms of PCP include oxidative stress. However, no epidemiological study has reported the association between PCP exposure and oxidative stress; such association in pregnant women, a vulnerable population, is of particula ...
