Environmental and Toxicological Implications of Dyes: A Mini Review
Abstract: Synthetic dyes are extensively used in industries – such as textiles, leather, paper, and food processing – due to their vibrant colors and high chemical stability. However, the large-scale release of dye-containing wastewater has become a significant environmental and health concern. Owing to their complex chemical structures, most synthetic dyes are highly resistant to biodegradation, resulting in their long-term persistence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their accumulation in water bodies …

Review of Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements in Toxicology
Abstract: This article explores the expanding role of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals in toxicology. Although they are widely consumed, there is little proof that using supplements or nutraceuticals can improve health in people who are eating a healthy diet. However, some of these products can be extremely toxic. Moreover, very few people tell their doctors they take supplements. Therefore, there is a high chance of negative drug-supplement interactions. An outline of …

Fenvalerate Toxicity on Fish: A Review
Abstract: As a new class of agricultural insecticides, synthetic pyrethroids are widely used to control insect pests. Synthetic pyrethroids have shown to enter the aquatic environment from agricultural runoff or drift from aerial and ground-based spraying applications posing threat to fishes, which are less tolerant to pesticides through direct exposure. These insecticides interfere with the sodium channel of the nervous system resulting in prolonged sodium tail current. Widespread application of these …
