Involuntary human exposure to carbamazepine:
A cross-sectional study of correlates across
the lifespan and dietary spectrum
Taken from Shapira et al., 2020.
Highlights:
(1) Carbamazepine was detectable in spot urine samples of
66–84% of adults.
(2) Carbamazepine was detectable in spot urine samples of
66% of pregnant women.
(3) Among children, 20% had detectable but not
measurable levels of carbamazepine.
(4) Higher carbamazepine levels among
adults were associated with vegetarianism.
(5) Involuntary carbamazepine
exposure occurs in an area with wide TWW irrigation use.

Environmental risk dynamics of pesticides toxicity in a
Mediterranean micro-estuary
Taken from Topaz et al., 2020.
Highlights:
(1) The Alexander micro-estuary suffers from year-round
chronic toxicity stress.
(2) Peak acute toxicity exhibited during flood events.
(3) Flood events tail sections pose the highest threat to the
micro-estuary ecosystem.
(4) Algae and plants are at the highest risk during both base-flow
and flood events. (5) Diuron was the most dominant cause of risk.
