Selenium-rich food potentially useful to control mercury levels among Afro-Colombians: Towards an intercultural intervention
CONCLUSION: It is proposed that the banana juice, the pineapple colada, the borojó (Borojoa patinoi) sorbet, the cucas, and the enyucado are basic elements for a culturally acceptable intervention.PMID:38109141 | PMC:PMC10768523 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6981 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes through soil-plant-earthworm continuum in the food production environment
Environ Int. 2023 Dec 10;183:108374. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.108374. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTreated municipal wastewater (TMW) can provide a reliable source of irrigation water for crops, which is especially important in arid areas where water resources are limited or prone to drought. Nonetheless, TMW may contain residual antibiotics, potentially exposing the crops to these substances. The goal of this study was to investigate the dissemination of antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs) in the soil-plant-earthworm continuum after irrigation of spinach and radish plants with TMW containing trimethoprim, sulfamethoxaz...
