Urban Lead: Modeling Its Distribution and Effects on Children by Zhixiong Chen, Yi Ding, Andrew Getz, Bernard Lipat

“…We then determine the health consequences for the average child using the bioaccessibility of lead from soil to children, the bioavailability of ingested lead to the circulatory system, and the biological half-life of lead isotopes in the blood. The health effects on children from lead are directly proportional to the blood lead concentration.…”

ENRICHMENT OF MASSIVE SULFIDES FROM THE SEMENOV HYDROTHERMAL CLUSTER (MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE) IN BARITE: A RESULT OF E-MORB INVOLVEMENT AND MAGMATIC CONTRIBUTION by I.Yu. Melekestseva, G.A. Tret’yakov, V.E. Beltenev

“…Magmartic contribution for the formation of massive sulfides from some Semenov fields is supported by negative values of S isotopic composition of sulfides associated with barite, the presence of magmatic gases (CO2 and SO2) in Raman spectra of fluid inclusions in barite and the results of physicochemical modeling, which indicate the formation of barite-sulfide assemblage upon the interaction of E-MORBs, seawater, and magmatic gas. …”

A potential photo-protective, antioxidant function for DMSO in marine phytoplankton. by Brandon J McNabb, Philippe D Tortell

“…Here we present evidence that DMSO reduction to DMS serves an antioxidant role in phytoplankton through a secondary electron-scavenging pathway that can dissipate excess light-harvested energy, and potentially mitigate the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Results from isotopic tracer experiments demonstrate significant increases in DMSO reduction rates in low-light acclimated natural phytoplankton assemblages exposed to high irradiance. …”
