Bioremediation and Bioscavenging for elimination of Organophosphorus threats: An approach using enzymatic advancements
Environ Res. 2024 Apr 8:118888. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118888. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOrganophosphorus compounds (OP) are highly toxic pesticides and nerve agents widely used in agriculture and chemical warfare. The extensive use of these chemicals has severe environmental implications, such as contamination of soil, water bodies, and food chains, thus endangering ecosystems and biodiversity. Plants absorb pesticide residues, which then enter the food chain and accumulate in the body fat of both humans and animals. Numerous human cases of OP poisoning have been linked to both acute and long-term exposure to thes...

Environ Res. 2024 Apr 8:118894. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118894. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroplastics, an invisible threat, are emerging as serious pollutants that continuously affect health by interrupting/contaminating the human cycle, mainly involving food, water, and air. Such serious scenarios raised the demand for developing efficient sensing systems to detect them at an early stage efficiently and selectively. In this direction, the proposed research reports an electrochemical hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) sensing utilizing a sensing platform fabricated using chitosan-magnesium oxide nanosheets (CHIT-MgO NS)...

Identification of hot spots and co-occurrence patterns of activities on thyroid hormone receptor and transthyretin binding in passive samplers from Czech surface waters
Environ Res. 2024 Apr 8:118891. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118891. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne of the less studied in vitro biological activities in the aquatic environment are thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRβ)-mediated agonistic and antagonistic activities and transthyretin (TTR) binding activity. They were measured mostly using active sampling methods, but rarely found. It is unclear if these activities co-occur, and the drivers of the (anti-)TRβ activity are mostly unknown. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to determine (anti-)TRβ activities as well as transthyretin (TTR) binding activity in passive sa...

Multiple exposure pathways and health risk assessment of PAHs in Lanzhou city, a semi-arid region in northwest China
In this study, we analyzed the characteristics and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution in PM2.5, water, diet, and dust during different periods in Lanzhou, and estimated corresponding carcinogenic health risk through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal absorption. Our observations revealed the concentrations of PAHs in PM2.5, food, soil, and water are 200.11 ng m-3, 8.67 mg kg-1, 3.91 mg kg-1, and 14.5 ng L-1, respectively, indicating that the Lanzhou area was seriously polluted. Lifetime incremental cancer risk (ILCR) showed a heightened cancer risk to men compared to women, to the younger than the ...
