Degradation and humification of steroidal estrogens in the soil environment: a review
Chemosphere. 2024 Apr 14:142043. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142043. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmerging pollutants are toxic and harmful chemical substances characterized by environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and biotoxicity, which can harm the ecological environment and even threaten human health. There are four categories of emerging pollutants that are causing widespread concern, namely, persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, antibiotics, and microplastics. The distribution of emerging pollutants has spatial and temporal heterogeneity, which is influenced by factors such as geographical loc...

Ecotoxicological Impact of Butisanstar and Clopyralid Herbicides on Soil Microbial Respiration and the Enzymatic Activities
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the impact of butisanstar and clopyralid herbicides, both individually and in combination at different dosage (recommended field dose (RFD), ½, 2 and 5-times RFD). The assessment focuses on soil basal respiration (SBR), cumulative microbial respiration (CMR), and the activities dehydrogenase (DH), catalase (CAT), urease, acid and alkaline phosphatases (Ac-P and Alk-P) enzymes, along with their variations on days 10, 30, 60, and 90 post-herbicide application. Results indicate that, although herbicides, even at lower doses of RFD, demonstrate inhibitory effects on DH, CAT, a...

Tracing anthropogenic mercury in soils from Fe-Hg mining/smelting area: isotopic and speciation insights
Chemosphere. 2024 Apr 13:142038. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMercury (Hg) stable isotope ratios supplemented by Hg solid speciation data were determined in soils in a former Fe-Hg mining/smelting area (Jedová hora, Czech Republic, Central Europe). The dominant Hg phase in the studied soils was found to be cinnabar (HgS). A secondary form of soil Hg(II) was represented by Hg weakly and strongly bound to mineral (micro)particles, as revealed by thermo-desorption analysis. These Hg species probably play a key role in local soil Hg processes and biogeochemical cycling. The Hg isotopic...

Myclobutanil induces neurotoxicity by activating autophagy and apoptosis in zebrafish larvae (Danio rerio)
This study aimed to explore the neurotoxicity of MYC and the underlying mechanisms in zebrafish and in PC12 cells. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to 0, 0.5 and 1 mg/L of MYC from 4 to 96 hours post fertilization (hpf) and neurobehavior was evaluated. Our data showed that MYC decreased the survival rate, hatching rate and heart rate, but increased the malformation rate and spontaneous movement. MYC caused abnormal neurobehaviors characterized by decreased swimming distance and movement time. MYC impaired cerebral histopathological morphology and inhibited neurogenesis in HuC:egfp transgenic zebrafish. MYC als...
