Is DEET bad for you? 9 things to know about bug spray Because many insects are cold-blooded, they’re more active in the summer when they get more energy from warm weather to feed and reproduce faster. For many of us, that brings more bug bites. That may mean uncomfortable inflamed bumps and – more seriously – the threat of diseases like West Nile Virus (from mosquitoes) and Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever (from ticks). We usually try to repel insects with products containing DEET, a chemical that’s effective but has a strong scent.
Antibiotic residues in water are an increasing environmental concern, especially as widely used medicines can pass through human, livestock, and aquaculture systems and enter rivers, groundwater, and soils. Tetracycline, a common broad-spectrum antibiotic, is one such pollutant. Although effective for treating bacterial infections, it can persist in the environment and contribute to ecological risks.

Cyclodextrins: Structure, function, and applications across industries Cyclodextrins, a fascinating class of cyclic oligosaccharides, have garnered significant attention due to their unique molecular structure and versatile applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and environmental science. Derived from starch through enzymatic reactions, cyclodextrins are composed of glucose monomers linked by alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds to form a ring-shaped structure. Their ability to form inclusion complexes with hydrophobic molecules makes them particularly useful in improving the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of otherwise poorly soluble substances. This article will explore the structure, classification, and applications of cyclodextrins in depth.
