    Emerging Contaminants Vol. 1 : Occurrence and Impact (2021)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Medical sciences. ; Pollution. ; Environmental chemistry. ; Refuse and refuse disposal. ; Health Sciences. ; Pollution. ; Environmental Chemistry. ; Waste Management/Waste Technology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Preface -- Chapter 1 Emerging Contaminants: Analysis, Aquatic Compartments and Water Pollution -- Chapter 2 Occurrence, Fate and Associated Risks of Organic Micropollutants included in the Watch List in the European Groundwater Bodies -- Chapter 3 Emergence of Pathogenic Fungi Resistant to Triazole Antifungal Drugs. A Threat from the Environment- Chapter 4 The Fate of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in the Environment -- Chapter 5 Relationship Between Outdoor Ambient Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disorders: A Narrative Review -- Index.
    Abstract: Emerging contaminants are chemical and biological agents for which there is growing concern about their potential health and environmental effects. The threat lies in the fact that the sources, fate and toxicology of most of these compounds have not yet been studied. Emerging contaminants, therefore, include a large number of both recently discovered and well-known compounds such as rare earth elements, viruses, bacteria, nanomaterials, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, hormones, personal care products, cosmetics, pesticides, surfactants and industrial chemicals. Emerging contaminants have been found in many daily products, and some of them accumulate in the food chain. Correlations have been observed between aquatic pollution by emerging contaminants and discharges from wastewater treatment plants. Most actual remediation methods are not effective at removing emerging contaminants. This first volume presents comprehensive knowledge on emerging contaminants with a focus on analysis, toxicity, antibiotic resistance and human health.

Cellular internalization and toxicity of polymeric nanoparticles -- Chapter 18. Prospects and challenges in the treatment of solid tumors.
    Abstract: This book focuses on the emerging research in the field of treatment of solid tumors or cancer with new drug delivery systems using nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has given us a good scope for development of new innovative drug delivery strategies to increase the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs with reduced off-target side effects. Cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide due to the limitations of classical therapies such as low solubility of active drugs, toxic side effects on healthy cells and resistance of tumor cells. These issues are partly solved by the recent development of polymeric nanoparticles, which improve drug absorption and the therapeutic index, while reducing side effects. Drug carriers must be biocompatible, biodegradable and non-immunogenic. Coupled to a ligand that has affinity for that particular cell, polymeric nanoparticles are used to target specifically malignant cells or tissues and, in turn, improve drug stability. This book presents the latest advances in the application of polymeric particles for cancer treatment, with focus on the tumor microenvironment, synthesis, active and passive targeting, patents, targeting over-expressed receptors, tumor-targeting ligands, theranostics, glioblastoma tumors, lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and pH-responsive nanoparticles.
