“…If the ILCR values are less than 1.0 × 10 −6 , the population exposed is at a negligible risk of developing cancer. However, if the ILCR exceeds 1.0 × 10 −4 , the risk of cancer is considered significant [ 45 , 46 ].…”

This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of rare earth elements (REEs), including 14 lanthanoids, scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y), in groundwater around a large coal-fired thermal power plant (TPP). The ICP-MS technique was used to analyze 16 REEs in groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells. REE concentrations ranged from 59.9 to 758 ng/L, with an average of 290 ng/L. The most abundant was Sc, followed by La, accounting for 54.2% and 21.4% of the total REE concentration, respectively. Geospatial analysis revealed the REE enrichment at several hotspots near the TPP. The highest REE concentrations were observed near the TPP and ash landfill, decreasing with the distance from the plant and the landfill. REE fractionation ratios and anomalies suggested the Light REE dominance, comprising over 78% of the total REEs. Correlation and principal component analyses indicated similar behavior and sources for most REEs. Health risk assessment found hazard indices (HI) of 1.36 × 10−3 and 1.98 × 10−3 for adults and children, respectively, which are far below the permissible limit (HI = 1). Likewise, incremental lifetime cancer risks (ILCR) were all below 1 × 10−6. Nevertheless, ongoing ash disposal and potential accumulation in the environment could elevate the REE exposure over time.

“…Regarding the identified correlations, it was possible to verify some important interactions between the analyzed elements. For better interpretation, the analysis will be performed from 2 groups: Essential Elements (EE) and Potential Toxic Elements (EPT), as suggested by Lučić et al (2022). Lv et al (2021) state that in biological systems, most essential metals combine with proteins to form metalloproteins, which played an important role in the enzymatic system for transporting nutrients to specific locations in organisms.…”

In Barcarena, several industries are in operation, some of these industries generate highly toxic by-products, which end up influencing the social, economic, and health conditions of the residents. This study aimed to evaluate the exposure of an amazonian population to the elements Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn using hair as a bioindicator. The results showed the average hair contents of Cr (2.5±1.5 μg g-1), Mn (15.5±12.3 μg g-1), Ni (5.4±9.0 μg g-1), Pb (18.7±15.4 μg g-1), and Zn (274±227 μg g-1) in the studied residents were higher than the averages of the elements in other countries population. The highest concentrations of Ni, Pb, and Zn were detected in children under 11 years old. Cr stood out for presenting the highest levels in the 21 to 30 years old group and Mn presented a higher concentration range for the 11 to 20 years old group. Cr showed a significant correlation with age (0.901; p=0.014) in the group of children (age <11 years).

“…A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce a person’s risk of developing numerous chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases [ 9 , 10 ]. Compared with other vegetables, these have the highest amount of vitamin C, carotenoids, and phenolics [ 11 ]. In most cases, eating ~60–80 g of fresh pepper is enough to meet the recommended daily intake for vitamin C [ 10 ].…”

This study investigates the effects of ultrasound, in combination with chemical pretreatments, on the quality attributes (total phenolic and carotenoid content, antioxidant activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH)), ferric-reducing ability (FRAP), CIE L* a* b* color, non-enzymatic browning, rehydration ratio, textural and morphological properties) of red pepper subjected to drying (hot air drying or freeze drying). The fractional factorial design was used to assess the impact of factors. The global Derringer desirability function was used to determine the optimal conditions for the best quality attributes of dried pepper. The drying method influenced total phenolic content, a* (redness), and initial rehydration ratio; pretreatment time significantly affected FRAP antiradical activity, a*, chroma and non-browning index, while pH-value had a significant effect on the texture of dried pepper. Non-enzymatic browning was reduced to 72.6%, while the DPPH antioxidant capacity of freeze-dried peppers was enhanced from 4.2% to 71.9%. Ultrasonic pretreatment led to changes in the pepper morphology, while potassium metabisulfite (KMS) was a more effective additive than citric acid.
