Corpas (Eds.), Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur Species in Post-Harvest Physiology of Horticultural Crops (303-318). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-91798-8.00011-4

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been shown to have significant effects in plants, especially during stress responses. H2 treatment can be used as a gas or as an H2-enriched solution, often termed hydrogen-rich water (HRW). Cellular effects of H2 are ofte...

DNA Repair and its influence on points of departure for alkylating agent genotoxicity (2016)
Book Chapter
Thomas, A. D., & Johnson, G. (2016). DNA Repair and its influence on points of departure for alkylating agent genotoxicity. In S. Fukushima, & T. Nohmi (Eds.), Thresholds of Genotoxic Carcinogens From Mechanisms to Regulation (67-82). London: Academic Press

Answering the question of whether low doses of DNA-reactive genotoxicants are of negligible concern has become a global effort due to its central importance in human health risk assessments. As a result, a huge amount of data exists suggesting that l... Read More about DNA Repair and its influence on points of departure for alkylating agent genotoxicity.

Do carcinogens have a threshold dose? Pro and contra (2015)
Book Chapter
Kaina, B., Thomas, A. D., & Hengslter, J. G. (2015). Do carcinogens have a threshold dose? Pro and contra. In F. Reichl, & M. Schwenk (Eds.), Regulatory Toxicology (397-406). Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer

With sound understanding of biological concepts, the notion of threshold effect levels has grown in acceptance especially for electrophile-induced mutations. However, mutagenesis is one part of the exposure-to-tumor process in chemical carcinogenesis... Read More about Do carcinogens have a threshold dose? Pro and contra.
