Organic contamination and multi-biomarker assessment in watersheds of the southern Brazil: an integrated approach using fish from the Astyanax genus
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-33181-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aimed to examine the responses of pollution biomarkers in feral fish from Astyanax genus collected at three hydrographic regions in southern Brazil and the capacity of these tools to differentiate between various levels of contamination. To achieve this, levels of organochlorine pesticides (liver), as well as the biomarkers AChE (muscle and brain), TBARS (liver), and EROD (liver) were assessed. Collections were conducted in four municipalities (Alegrete, Caraá, Lavras, and Santa Vitória) during 1 year, encompassing ...

Typical antibiotic resistance genes and their association with driving factors in the coastal areas of Yangtze River Estuary
In this study, surface water samples were collected at eight sampling sites along the Yangtze River Estuary. The seasonal and spatial distribution patterns of 10 antibiotics and target genes in two major classes (sulfonamides and tetracyclines) were analyzed. The findings indicated a high prevalence of sulfonamide and tetracycline resistance genes along the Yangtze River Estuary. Kruskal-Wallis analysis revealed significant seasonal variations in the abundance of all target genes. The accumulation of antibiotic resistance genes in the coastal area of the Yangtze River Estuary can be attributed to the influence of urban ins...

Nonylphenol ethoxylate degradation in detergents during shelf time, a new exposure pathway, and a perspective on their substitution
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-33260-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDetergents are highly produced pollutants with environmental problems like foam generation and toxic effects in biota. Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) are efficient, economical, and versatile surfactants, used in detergents for more than 40 years due to their detergency capacity. In the environment, NPE biodegrades into the metabolite nonylphenol (NP), classified as an endocrine disruptor. The identification and quantification of 4-NP in a designed detergent and 30 commercially available detergents were performed to prove...

Effect of humic acid on visible light photocatalytic inactivation of bacteriophage f2 with electrospinning Cu-TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > nanofibers: insight into the mechanisms
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-33119-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhotocatalytic disinfection is a promising technology with low cost and high efficiency. However, most of the current studies on photocatalytic disinfection ignore the widespread presence of natural organic matter (NOM) in water bodies, so the incomplete conclusions obtained may not be applicable. Herein, this paper systematically studied the influence of humic acid (HA), one of the most important components of NOM, on the photocatalytic inactivation of bacteriophage f2 with electrospinning Cu-TiO2 nanofibers. We found t...

Larval biomass production from the co-digestion of mushroom root waste and soybean curd residues by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.)
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-33173-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople are increasingly using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as a sustainable waste management solution. They are high in protein and other essential nutrients, making them an ideal food source for livestock, poultry, and fish. Prior laboratory studies with BSFL developed on pure mushroom root waste (MRW) showed poor conversion efficiency compared to a regular artificial diet. Therefore, we mixed the nutrient-rich soybean curd residues (SCR) with MRW in different ratios (M2-M5). Pure mushroom root waste (M1, MRW 100%) h...

Is renewable energy development endangering power supply reliability?
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-33204-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe development of renewable energy is indispensable to promoting the low-carbon transition of power systems. Nevertheless, it also brings uncertainty to the reliability of power systems. Herein, the panel model and panel threshold model are established based on the provincial data in China from 2012 to 2020. The results reveal that the negative effect of renewable energy development (RED) on power supply reliability (PSR) is gradually lessening. If the development of renewable energy is a rational way, power supply reli...

Determination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds in paper recycling grades using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry
This study analysed the prevalence of PFAS in paper grades used for the manufacture of recycled paperboard. The presence of PFAS was attributed to the use of PFAS-containing additives, consumer usage, exposure to packed goods as well as contamination during mingling, sorting, collection, and recovery of paper recycling material. Q Orbitrap mass spectrometry was used to analyse the paper samples after accelerated solvent extraction and solid phase extraction. The distribution and possible propagation of 22 PFAS were determined in pre-consumer, retail and post-consumer paper products. Post-consumer samples had the highest co...
