TL;DR: In this paper, a simple one-step hydrothermal method with the capping of oleic acid was used to produce cobalt (Co) nanoparticles with a high structural quality.

TL;DR: A simple one-step, low temperature approach to produce crystalline, nanosized cobalt ferrites (CFO) with a size ∼4.7 nm is reported and their applicability in breast cancer treatment is demonstrated and they exhibit superparamagnetic character.

TL;DR: In this article, the toxicological profile of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with airborne particulate matter (PM) was assessed and the combined results derived from diagnostic ratios and factor analysis suggested that the vehicular emission (Diesel + gasoline) and coal combustion in the vicinity of study province are probable sources of PM bound PAHs.

TL;DR: Almost all PM samples increased the level of pro-inflammatory mediator (Nitric oxide) when compared to corresponding unexposed controls suggesting the important role of reactive nitrogen species in induction of cellular toxicity.

TL;DR: The indoor air of urban and rural houses of Pune is contaminated in terms of microbial load and attention should be paid to control the factors favoring the microbial growth in order to safeguard the health of exposed inhabitants.
