  • Determination of 40 Elements in Powdered Infant Formulas and Related Risk Assessment

    Open Access•Maria Luisa Astolfi, Daniela Marotta et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    The aim of the study was to analyze all powdered infant formulas authorized and commercialized in Italy at the time of the study to measure the concentrations of 40 elements, and to estimate the infants' intake of some toxic heavy metals for assessing possible related health risks. For this purpose, an optimized multi-element method was used through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Be, B, Al, Zr, Nb, Sb, Te, W, V, Cr and As concentra…

  • Urinary Mercury Levels and Predictors of Exposure among a Group of Italian Children

    Open Access•Maria Luisa Astolfi, Matteo Vitali et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2020

    Urinary mercury (Hg) levels are suitable to assess long-term exposure to both elemental and inorganic Hg. In this study, the urinary Hg levels of 250 children (aged 6-11 years) from three areas with different anthropogenic impacts in the Rieti province, central Italy, were assessed. The Hg concentrations were in the range of 0.04-2.18 μg L -1 with a geometric mean equal to 0.18 μg L -1 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.17-0.20 μg L -1 ] or 0.21 μg…

  • Biomonitoring of Mercury in Hair among a Group of Eritreans (Africa)

    Open Access•Maria Luisa Astolfi, Carmela Protano et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2020

    Small-scale or artisanal mining, using gold-mercury amalgamation to extract gold from ore, is a significant source of exposure for the workers and nearby populations. Few studies on hair mercury (Hg) have been conducted in Africa despite the fact that Africa has several gold deposits. No studies have been conducted in Eritrea that is one of the emerging gold producing countries in Africa. The aim of the study was to assess the Hg concentration in…

  • Urinary Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Workers of a Titanium Dioxide Based Pigment Production Plant

    Open Access•Flavia Buonaurio, Maria Luisa Astolfi et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2020

    Titanium dioxide is produced or imported into the EU for over one million tons/year. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification is 2B, a possible inhalation carcinogen for humans. This study evaluates urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress in workers of a plant producing TiO 2 pigment powder, having 0.25 μm average particle size and an ultrafine fraction, compared to unexposed subjects. Urine samples were collected from…

  • Element Levels and Predictors of Exposure in the Hair of Ethiopian Children

    Open Access•Maria Luisa Astolfi, Georgios Pietris et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2020

    Children's development and health may be affected by toxic heavy metal exposure or suboptimal essential element intake. This study aimed to provide updated information regarding the concentrations of 41 elements in children's hair (aged under 18) living in a rural area of the Benishangul-Gumuz region, Ethiopia. The highest average levels (as a geometric mean) for toxic heavy metals were obtained for Al (1 mg kg -1 ), Pb (3.1 mg kg -1 ), and Ni (1…
