Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in the marine environment: Current trends in environmental pollution and mechanisms of toxicological profile
TL;DR: It is possible that the toxicological effects of microplastics will continue beyond 2020 the timeline for its ending by world environmental groups, considering that most countries in African and Asia are yet to reduce, re-use or re-circle plastic materials to enhance its abatement.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Vivo Cytogenotoxicity and Oxidative Stress Induced by Electronic Waste Leachate and Contaminated Well Water
Adekunle A. Bakare,Okunola A. Alabi,Adeyinka M. Gbadebo,Olusegun I. Ogunsuyi,Chibuisi G. Alimba +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the well water samples and leachate contained substances capable of inducing somatic mutation and oxidative stress in living cells; and this is of health importance in countries with risk of e-wastes exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo micronucleus test in the assessment of cytogenotoxicity of landfill leachates in three animal models from various ecological habitats
TL;DR: The in vivo micronucleus test was used to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic activities of landfill leachates in Clarias gariepinus, Coturnix coturnix japonica and Rattus norvegicus to suggest alterations in the bone marrow cell proliferation, leading to the suppression of immature erythrocytes (PCE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Municipal landfill leachates induced chromosome aberrations in rat bone marrow cells
TL;DR: The data indicate that MSW leachates can induce genotoxicity in rat and suggest potential health risk to human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical characterization of simulated landfill soil leachates from Nigeria and India and their cytotoxicity and DNA damage inductions on three human cell lines.
Chibuisi G. Alimba,Chibuisi G. Alimba,Deepa Gandhi,Saravanadevi Sivanesan,Mayuresh D. Bhanarkar,Pravin K. Naoghare,Adekunle A. Bakare,Kannan Krishnamurthi +7 more
TL;DR: The leachates induced significant cytotoxicity in the treated cells with evidence of apoptosis; shrunken morphologies, detachment from the substratum and cytoplasmic vacuolations, and significant DNA damage induced in the treating cells.
