TL;DR: DU-exposed Gulf War veterans with retained metal shrapnel fragments are excreting elevated levels of urinary uranium 7 years after first exposure, suggesting on-going mobilization from a storage depot which results in a chronic systemic exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Despite following recommended safe-handling practices, workplace contamination with antineoplastic drugs in pharmacy and nursing areas continues at these locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of a wide variety of human and veterinary fluoroquinolone antibiotics in municipal wastewater and wastewater-impacted surface water
TL;DR: The total mass concentration of fluoroquinolones in raw wastewater was in the range that inhibited E. coli growth, suggesting that concerns over antibiotic presence in wastewater and wastewater-impacted surface water are valid and the removal efficiency for fluoroquolones was found to be negatively correlated to biochemical oxygen demand removal and positively correlated to phosphorus removal.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Medical surveillance of a group of U.S. Gulf War veterans who were victims of depleted uranium (DU) “friendly fire” reveals a persistent elevation of urine uranium, more than 10 yr after exposure, in those veterans with retained shrapnel fragments.
