Draper, Maxine; Bester, Megan Jean; Van Rooy, Mia-Jeanne; Oberholzer, H.M. (Routledge, 2023)

The rise in respiratory disease has been attributed to an increase in environmental pollution. Heavy metals contribute to environmental contamination via air, water, soil and food. The effects of atmospheric exposure to ...
Effects of metals cadmium and chromium alone and in combination on the liver and kidney tissue of male Spraque-Dawley rats : an ultrastructural and electron-energy-loss spectroscopy investigation

Venter, Chantelle; Oberholzer, Hester Magdalena; Cummings, Franscious Riccardo; Bester, Megan Jean (Wiley, 2017-08)

Heavy metal pollution has increased in the last decades. Water sources are contaminated and human exposure is often long term exposure to variable amounts of different metals. In this study, male Sprague-Dawley rats were ...
Histological analysis of the effects of cadmium, chromium and mercury alone and in combination on the spleen of male Sprague-Dawley rats

Venter, Chantelle; Olivier, Anel; Taute, Helena; Oberholzer, Hester Magdalena (Taylor and Francis, 2020)

The mining sector in South Africa is expected to be the fifth largest in the world. Both mining and transport are the most common reasons for an increased risk of human exposure to heavy metal contamination in South Africa. ...
Oral exposure to cadmium and mercury alone and in combination causes damage to the lung tissue of Sprague-Dawley rats
