Summary: This study examines the water quality of the Jalangi River and associated human health risks. The results show that the water quality is better in the lower reach of the river during the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Principal component analysis and ANOVA reveal the dominant factors controlling water quality. Additionally, the water quality index and human health risk analysis provide important insights.

Summary: This study aims to assess the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic human health risks associated with PTMs in soil near CCA-treated utility poles in Montreal. The findings showed that the oral and dermal pathways pose higher risks compared to inhalation, and arsenic and lead are the main contributors to carcinogenic risk through ingestion and skin absorption.

Summary: This study investigated the fluoride geochemistry and health risks associated with groundwater in the Coimbatore district. It was found that certain geological formations, such as pink granites, charnockite and gneisses, are potential sources of fluoride contamination in the groundwater. Correlation plots showed a positive relationship between fluoride concentrations and pH, HCO3, and Na, while a negative correlation was observed with Ca. Principal component analysis identified natural and anthropogenic factors contributing to fluoride enrichment in the water. Additionally, human health risk assessment revealed noncarcinogenic risks for a significant portion of the population, particularly children.

Summary: There has been a significant increase in plastic production since the 1950s, leading to the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and the natural environment. Microplastics are now found ubiquitously in the air, water, and soil, and have been detected in human tissues, raising concern about their impact on human health and the food chain. Although direct evidence of the adverse effects of microplastics on human health is limited, in vitro and in vivo studies suggest potential harmful effects. Efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastics are needed at all levels to mitigate plastic pollution.

Summary: This study revealed gene expression signatures of the human kidney interstitium using LMD transcriptomics and snRNAseq, identifying novel markers and strong correlations. Enriched interstitial pathways included G-protein coupled receptor binding and collagen biosynthesis, with diabetic kidney interstitium enriched for extracellular matrix organization and small-molecule catabolism.

Summary: This study investigated the fluoride concentration in groundwater from the southwest plain of Shandong Province, finding spatial and seasonal variations in the fluoride levels influenced by factors such as calcium, pH, bicarbonate, and sodium. The results suggest a regionalization pattern of low concentrations in the east and high concentrations in the west, with important factors affecting groundwater fluoride levels identified.

Summary: The study highlights the presence of pesticide residues in drinking water samples from 31 countries, with a variety of insecticide, herbicide, and fungicide residues identified. Hazard indices exceeded one in many cases, indicating potential health risks to adults, children, and infants. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) proved effective in removing pesticide residues from water systems.

Summary: The study investigated the levels of bisphenol A (BPA) and some BP analogs (BPB, BPF, and BPS) in 120 new clothes for pregnant women, newborns, and toddlers commercialized in Spain. Traces of BPA were found in all samples, with the highest concentrations in polyester textiles. Higher concentrations of BPs were observed in conventional cotton garments compared to organic cotton, with a significant difference for BPS. Pregnant women showed higher exposure to BPs than children, but the non-carcinogenic risks associated with BPA exposure were below the unity.

Summary: This study aims to determine the elemental profile in eggs, evaluate the health risk of heavy metal presence, and develop statistical models for differentiating egg components. The results suggest measurable differences among eggs from different husbandry systems, and the analyzed egg samples pose a non-carcinogenic risk within the safe range.

Summary: Nowadays, anthropogenic activities are causing alarming levels of environmental pollution, particularly in underdeveloped countries like Brazil where limited data on the risk assessment of exposure to environmental pollutants are available. The current investigation measured the levels of PAH metabolites in vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, newborns, and children, and performed a risk assessment based on guidelines from the US Environmental Protection Agency. The results showed a potential health risk in all groups, especially in lactating women and their infants, and a high cancer risk associated with benzo[a]pyrene exposure.

Summary: This study collected 94 honey samples from the Chinese market and assessed the presence of 20 common antibiotics and their potential health risks. The results showed widespread antibiotic residues in Chinese honey, which varied with production place, sale price, and commercial category of nectariferous plants, but posed a low health risk.

Summary: The Department of Defense commissioned the National Research Council to assess the health effects of DOD personnel exposed to lead at firing ranges. The report concluded that current exposure limits and blood lead levels were not adequately protective. The relationship between airborne lead levels and blood lead levels is of interest to the DOD for future exposure limit selection.
