Bacterial community analysis of shallow groundwater undergoing sequential anaerobic and aerobic chloroethene biotransformation.

At Department of Energy Site 300, beneficial hydrocarbon cocontaminants and favorable subsurface conditions facilitate sequential reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) and rapid oxidation of the resultant cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) upon periodic oxygen influx. We assessed the geochemistry and microbial community of groundwater from across the site. Removal of cis-DCE was shown to coincide with oxygen influx in hydrocarbon-containing groundwater near the source area. Principal component analysis of contaminants and inorganic compounds showed that monitoring wells could be differen

Isolation and transcriptional analysis of novel tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase gene from Desulfitobacterium sp. strain KBC1.

Strain KBC1, an anaerobic bacterium, that dechlorinates tetrachloroethene (PCE) to trichloroethene was isolated. This strain also dechlorinated high concentrations of PCE at a temperature range of 10 to 40 degrees C and showed high oxygen tolerance. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, this microorganism was identified as a species of the genus Desulfitobacterium. Several species of this genus have been reported to be potent ortho-chlorophenol and PCE dechlorinators; however, the gene coding PCE-specific dehalogenase had not been cloned thus far. In this report, we identified a novel

Neurophysiological and psychological disorders and occupational exposure to organic solvents.

A number of reports, particularly from Scandinavian countries, claim that painters and workers in other trades in which prolonged occupational exposure to organic solvents may occur develop a type of mental illness characterized principally by impairment of memory and co-ordination and some deterioration of personality. The condition, called 'organic solvent disease', is recognized as a cause of premature retirement and is classed as an occupational disease in certain countries. The conclusions of these reports have been contested and the existence of such a disease entity has been questioned.

Analysis of renal cell transformation following exposure to trichloroethene in vivo and its metabolite S-(dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine in vitro.

Trichloroethene (TCE) is classified as a potential human carcinogen although there is a significant debate regarding the mechanism of TCE induced renal tumor formation. This controversy stems in part from the extremely high doses of TCE required to induce renal tumors and the potential contribution of the associated nephrotoxicity to tumorigenesis. We have used Eker rats, which are uniquely susceptible to renal carcinogens, to determine if exposures to TCE in vivo or exposure to its metabolite S-(dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) in vitro can transform kidney epithelial cells in the absence of

Differential immune responses to albumin adducts of reactive intermediates of trichloroethene in MRL+/+ mice.

Trichloroethene (TCE) is an industrial degreasing solvent and widespread environmental contaminant. Exposure to TCE is associated with autoimmunity. The mode of action of TCE is via its oxidative metabolism, and most likely, immunotoxicity is mediated via haptenization of macromolecules and subsequent induction of immune responses. To better understand the role of protein haptenization through TCE metabolism, we immunized MRL+/+ mice with albumin adducts of various TCE reactive intermediates. Serum immunoglobulins and cytokine levels were measured to determine immune responses against hapteniz

Mortality among autoworkers manufacturing electronics in Huntsville, Alabama.

BACKGROUND: Workers raised concerns over suspected excesses of mortality at automotive electronics manufacturing facilities in Huntsville, Alabama. METHODS: A study of 4396 UAW members ever-employed at Huntsville facilities between 1972 and 1993 was conducted with mortality follow-up through 2016. Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) were estimated using U.S. and Alabama reference rates. RESULTS: Relative to U.S. rates, there was a modest excess of all-cause mortality among White female workers (SMR 1.08, 95%CI: 0.99-1.18) and among all workers hired <1977 at the original plant building (SMR

Final report of the amended safety assessment of Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) root extract.

Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) Root Extract is an extract of the rhizomes of the wild yam, D. villosa. A manufacturing process was described in which cut up and ground rhizomes are combined with an eluant (e.g., oleyl alcohol), the plant material precipitated with addition of a miscible solvent, washed, and redissolved in the original eluant. The extract contains glycoside and steroidal saponins (< or =0.4%), diosgenin (< or =3.5%), alkaloids, tannins, phytosterols, and starch. Levels of heavy metals, 1,4-dioxane, chloroform, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and benzene are reported to be …

Principles of covalent binding of reactive metabolites and examples of activation of bis-electrophiles by conjugation.

Mechanisms of toxicity continue to be important in developing rational strategies to deal with chemicals present in the environment. Understanding and predicting toxicity have also become a critical step in the process of drug development. Covalent binding of chemicals to macromolecules is one aspect of toxicity, and the principles and outcomes of the process are considered. Two examples of chemicals for which several aspects of metabolism and reactions are understood are aflatoxin B(1) and polyhalogenated olefins. Ethylene dibromide is a compound that is activated to genotoxic half-mustards b

Decoding Cancer Risk: Understanding Gene-Environment Interactions in Cancer Development.

While lifestyle choices or behavioral patterns remain the most significant factors influencing cancer risk, environmental exposure to certain chemicals, both manufactured and natural, may also contribute to an individual's likelihood of developing cancer. This interplay of factors, coupled with an aging demographic and shifting lifestyle patterns, has led to an increasing prevalence of cancer in recent years. This study examines the environmental and behavioral factors that contribute to anomalies in the immune system and increase the risk of developing cancer. Significant environmental and oc
