Hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide in volcanic gases: abundance, processes, and atmospheric fluxes by Aiuppa, Alessandro, Moussallam, Yves

“…Hydrogen (H$_{2}$) and hydrogen sulphide (H$_{2}$S) are typically present at only minor to trace levels in volcanic gas emissions, and yet they occupy a key role in volcanic degassing research in view of the control they exert on volcanic gas reducing capacity (e.g., their ability to remove atmospheric O$_{2}$). In combination with other major compounds, H$_{2}$ and H$_{2}$S are also key to extracting information on source magma conditions (temperature and redox) from observed magmatic gas compositions. …”

Crinum jagus (J. Thomps. Dandy): Antioxidant and protective properties as a medicinal plant on toluene-induced oxidative stress damages in liver and kidney of rats by Mariama, Salihu, Gaber, El-Saber Batiha, Keneth Iceland, Kasozi, George D., Zouganelis, Souty M.Z., Sharkawi, Eman, Ibrahim Ahmed, Ibe Michael, Usman, Halima, Nalugo, Juma J., Ochieng, Ibrahim, Ssengendo, Olatayo Segun, Okeniran, Theophilus, Pius, Kyobe Ronald, Kimanje, Eric Simidi, Kegoye, Ritah, Kenganzi, Fred Ssempijja

“…The findings showed that toluene is a very aggressive xenobiotic due to the promotion of oxidative stress and peroxidation of cellular lipids, but C. jagus leaves provide significant protection through the reducing power of nonenzymatic antioxidants and their ability to induce endogenous antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and glutathione reductase or GR) causing reduced cellular lipid peroxidation and tissue damages, quickened tissue repair, and improved cell biology of liver and kidneys during toluene toxicity. …”
