Research on compound pollution characteristics and health risk evaluation of particulate matter and heavy metals in waste glass recycling process
In this study, we aimed to perform a comprehensive investigation and analysis of compound pollution characteristics and health risk evaluation of particulate matter and heavy metals generated from waste glass recycling process. Soil, particulate fallout, and glass samples were collected from inside and outside a recycling plant in eastern China. Our findings showed that the waste glass treatment process produces a large amount of air particulate matter, and the PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations can reach 3725 and 4055 μg/m3, respectively, in the production workshop during working hours. Meanwhile, the monitoring results show ...

Growth retardation and suppression of ubiquitin-dependent catabolic processes in the brackish water clam Corbicula japonica in response to salinity changes and bioaccumulation of toxic heavy metals
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 15:122554. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122554. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe brackish water clam (Corbicula japonica) is constantly exposed to stressful salinity gradients and high levels of heavy metals in the freshwater-saltwater interface of estuary environments, which are introduced from upstream regions and land. To identify the key molecular pathways involved in the response to salinity changes and heavy metal bioaccumulation, we obtained the transcriptomes of C. japonica inhabiting different salinities and heavy metal distributions in Gwangyang Bay (Korea) using RNA sequencing. Among a to...

Circulating organochlorine pesticide levels, genetic predisposition and the risk of incident type 2 diabetes
In conclusion, higher circulating OCP levels were independently associated with an increased risk of T2D, with β-BHC possibly being the major contributor. Genetic predisposition to T2D-related morbidity, such as visceral adiposity, should be considered when assessing the risk of T2D conferred by OCPs.PMID:37717893 | DOI:10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122541

Carbonyl products of ozone oxidation of volatile organic compounds can modulate olfactory choice behavior in insects
We examined the effects of ozone-generated small carbonyls on the olfactory behavior of the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster. We compiled a broad collection of neurophysiologically relevant odorants for the fly from databases and literature and predicted the formation of the types of stable small carbonyl products resulting from the odorant's oxidation by ozone. Based on these predictions, we evaluated the olfactory detection and behavioral impact of the ten most frequently predicted carbonyl products in the fly using single sensillum recordings (SSRs) and behavioral tests. Our results demonstrate that the fly's olfacto...

Prussian blue analogues derived magnetic FeCo@GC material as high-performance metallic peroxymonosulfate activators to degrade tetrabromobisphenol A over a wide pH range
In this study, a magnetic composite material derived from MOF was synthesised and used as a new catalyst for rapid degradation of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). Compared to precarbonisation, FeCo@GC formed a conductive graphite carbon skeleton, retained the complete rhombododecahedron structure, had a larger specific surface area and provided more active sites for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The target pollutant TBBPA (20 mg/L) was completely degraded within 30 min, and the mineralisation rate reached 40.98% in the FeCo@GC (150 mg/L) and PMS (1 mM) systems, owing to the synergistic interaction between Fe, Co and gr...
