  1. Polyphenols show both beneficial and harmful dose-dependent effects
    Review examines the paradoxical bioactivity of polyphenols: beneficial antioxidant effects at dietary levels versus pro-oxidant toxicity, carcinogenicity, and organ damage at high supplemental doses.
  2. Certain nitrogen compounds improved PFOA electrochemical degradation
    Electrochemical degradation of PFOA enhanced by nitrogen-containing compounds with lone-pair electrons; mechanisms involve direct electron transfer and reactive nitrogen species generation.
