Biomarkers of oxidative stress and DNA damage in agricultural workers

Creator:

Muniz, Juan Fermin

Abstract:

Pesticides are among the most pervasive environmental contaminants and they are an important potential risk for human health. Agricultural workers are constantly exposed to pesticide spray, drift and residues in the soil and foliage. Many agricultural pesticides are readily absorbed by the body, through contact with the skin, the respiratory...

Vertebral elemental markers in elasmobranchs : potential for reconstructing environmental history and population structure

Creator:

Smith, Wade D.

Abstract:

Differences in the chemical composition of calcified structures can be used to reveal natal origins, connectivity, metapopulation structure, and reconstruct the environmental history or movement patterns of many marine organisms. Sharks, skates, and rays (elasmobranchs) lack the calcified structures, known as otoliths, that are typically used for geochemical studies of...
