We analysed corrosion from a copper bowl dating from the Roman period (43–410 AD) found in a farm in Kent, UK. Despite its relatively good condition, the interior and exterior surface of the object had areas of deterioration containing green and brown-coloured corrosion which were sampled for characterization by a multi-analytical protocol. Basic copper chlorides atacamite and paratacamite were identified in the context of mineral phases along with chlorobenzenes in the green corrosion. Chlorobenzenes are common soil contaminants in rural areas from the use of pesticides, many of which were banned more than 50 years ago. Here we show that their presence is associated with accelerated corrosion, and this provides a threat to the preservation of archaeological metal objects in the ground.

“…Endosulfan is an off-patent organochlorine insecticide and acaricide. It has been used globally as a pesticide since the 1950s to control a variety of insects including whiteflies, aphids, leafhoppers, Colorado potato beetles, and cabbage worms applied extensively to coffee, tea, and cotton crops, among others ( 263 ). It induces severe oxidative stress, induces the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins and inflammatory cytokines, and activation of glial cells ( 264 ).…”

Astrocytes and Microglia in Stress-Induced Neuroinflammation: The African Perspective

et al. 2022

Background: Africa is laden with a youthful population, vast mineral resources and rich fauna. However, decades of unfortunate historical, sociocultural and leadership challenges make the continent a hotspot for poverty, indoor and outdoor pollutants with attendant stress factors such as violence, malnutrition, infectious outbreaks and psychological perturbations. The burden of these stressors initiate neuroinflammatory responses but the pattern and mechanisms of glial activation in these scenarios are yet to be properly elucidated. Africa is therefore most vulnerable to neurological stressors when placed against a backdrop of demographics that favor explosive childbearing, a vast population of unemployed youths making up a projected 42% of global youth population by 2030, repressive sociocultural policies towards women, poor access to healthcare, malnutrition, rapid urbanization, climate change and pollution. Early life stress, whether physical or psychological, induces neuroinflammatory response in developing nervous system and consequently leads to the emergence of mental health problems during adulthood. Brain inflammatory response is driven largely by inflammatory mediators released by glial cells; namely astrocytes and microglia. These inflammatory mediators alter the developmental trajectory of fetal and neonatal brain and results in long-lasting maladaptive behaviors and cognitive deficits. This review seeks to highlight the patterns and mechanisms of stressors such as poverty, developmental stress, environmental pollutions as well as malnutrition stress on astrocytes and microglia in neuroinflammation within the African context.

“…Besides the contaminating nature they are also characterized as quick and passively transmitting pollutants in the environment even in the absence of any anthropogenic activity. POPs possess the tendency to halt in the air, resist environmental degradation, and accumulate in the fat-rich tissues (of plants and/or humans) by passing through the phospholipid membranes ( Ibrahim et al, 2016 ; Berntssen et al, 2017 ). Considering the health hazards of POPs highlights the disturbed reproductive system, disordered metabolism, and carcinogenicity ( Wang et al, 2008 ).…”

“…HCB is readily absorbed in aerial plant parts, translocated between different tissues, and finally preserved in the lipid-rich areas. High HCB contents have been recorded in plants (e.g., pumpkins) from where they entered into the food chain and traveled in the whole food chain, including fish flesh and fish oil ( Berntssen et al, 2017 ). HCB highly tends to be absorbed in the human body with direct damage to the liver and possesses both acute and subchronic toxicity.…”

Environmental pollutants and climate change are the major cause of abiotic stresses. Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is an airborne and aero-disseminated persistent organic pollutants (POP) molecule causing severe health issues in humans, and temperature extremes and HCB in combination severely affect the growth and yield of crop plants around the globe. The higher HCB uptake and accumulation by edible plants ultimately damage human health through the contaminated food chain. Hence, confining the passive absorbance of POPs is a big challenge for researchers to keep the plant products safer for human consumption. BioClay functional layered double hydroxide is an effective tool for the stable delivery of acidic molecules on plant surfaces. The current study utilized gibberellic acid (GA3) impregnated BioClay (BioClayGA) to alleviate abiotic stress in Brassica alboglabra plants. Application of BioClayGA mitigated the deleterious effects of HCB besides extreme temperature stress in B. alboglabra plants. BioClayGA significantly restricted HCB uptake and accumulation in applied plants through increasing the avoidance efficacy (AE) up to 377.61%. Moreover, the exogenously applied GA3 and BioClayGA successfully improved the antioxidative system, physiochemical parameters and growth of stressed B. alboglabra plants. Consequently, the combined application of BioClay and GA3 can efficiently alleviate low-temperature stress, heat stress, and HCB toxicity.
