Summary: In recent years, tattooing has emerged as a popular form of self-expression and art. However, the process of injecting ink into the skin for tattoos exposes individuals to various elements, posing potential health risks. This study examined the presence of 8 elements in different tattoo ink colors available in the Greek market, imported from the USA and China. The results showed that most inks contained chromium, copper, nickel, and lead, with higher concentrations found in brown ink from the USA.

Summary: The evaluation of metal leaching in metal-catalyzed reactions is crucial, but current analytical methods for trace metal determination in organic reaction solutions are time-consuming and require high purity reagents. In this study, a rapid and sensitive method using LA-ICP-MS was developed for the determination of platinum group elements (PGEs) in organic reaction solutions. The proposed method allows for quick detection without the need for pre-treatment and can be completed in a short amount of time. The accuracy and adaptability of this method were confirmed through comparison with conventional methods.

Summary: A new method called switchable hydrophilicity solvent-based ultrasound-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (SHS-UA-LLME) was proposed for the extraction and determination of nitrite in heat processed foods. The method involved the use of three switchable hydrophilicity solvents, protonation and conversion steps, and the application of ultrasound to enhance extraction capability. Various parameters were optimized, and the method showed good sensitivity and selectivity. The use of SHSs and the elimination of heating and centrifugation steps make this method cost-effective and time-saving compared to other similar methods.

Summary: A novel solid phase microextraction in a portable syringe system (SPME-PSS) was developed for the removal of malachite green (MG) using UV-Vis spectrometric determination. A column of iminodiacetate functionalized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA-ida) connected with a syringe system was used as an adsorbent medium to enhance the contact area between the solid and liquid phases, resulting in increased adsorption of MG from aqueous medium. The adsorption behavior and properties of MG on PMMA-ida were investigated, and the results showed that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetic and favorable isotherms. The proposed adsorbent had a high adsorption capacity and could be recycled multiple times without a decrease in regeneration capability.

Summary: Hazardous wastewater containing different dyes from various industries poses great risks to human health. To address water pollution, eco-friendly composites of titanium oxide (TiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) were synthesized and characterized. Experimental results showed that a TiO2/Al2O3 sample with a molar ratio of 0.1/1 exhibited the highest photodegradation efficiency for malachite green and eosin Y. The adsorption capacity of Al2O3 for eosin Y was found to be higher than for malachite green. The photodegradation process followed Langmuir isotherms and pseudo-second order kinetics, and the adsorption method was determined to be exothermic. Overall, the TiO2-Al2O3 photocatalyst showed excellent performance for organic dye degradation without generating secondary pollutants.

Summary: A novel adsorbent, opioid silver-morphine-functionalized polypropylene, was synthesized through a one-pot reaction at room temperature and successfully used as a photocatalytic degradation catalyst for the removal of methyl orange from wastewater. UV spectral analysis revealed the excitation of surface plasmon resonance as the main characteristic of the polymer-Ag nanocomposite. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the silver nanoparticle-doped polymer had a continuous matrix and uniform distribution of Ag NPs. The AgPP-mrp catalyst exhibited high degradation efficiency under solar irradiation, achieving a degradation capacity of 139 mg/g in a short period of time (35 min).

This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.
