Summary: Analysis of AC filter dust can reveal OPE pollution in indoor environments. This study analyzed samples from six indoor environments and found that OPEs are the main pollutants, with high concentrations in AC filter dust. The study also showed the transfer of OPEs from dust to air and the need for timely removal of AC filter dust to prevent re-release and health risks. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of OPEs in indoor environments.

Summary: This study found that waste incinerator workers are more extensively exposed to organophosphate esters (OPEs) and oxidative stress markers than general residents. The concentrations of certain OPEs and oxidative stress markers in urine were higher among incinerator workers. However, the levels of OPEs did not have a significant correlation with the levels of oxidative stress markers. The risk assessment showed that incinerator workers were at a low risk of non-carcinogenic effects due to OPEs exposure, but had a higher risk of carcinogenic effects from tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP).

Summary: By using an integrated screening strategy, the occurrence and distribution of OPEs in different water samples from Jiangsu Province, China were investigated. The results showed variations in spatial distribution and concentration, with groundwater exhibiting the highest concentration due to pollution from surrounding factories. Among the target OPEs, TEP, TCEP, and TCIPP were the most abundant congeners. In addition, suspect OPEs and non-target OPs were also identified through screening and analysis.

Summary: This study reveals the presence of abundant antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in landfills and landfill leachate, posing a significant threat to the environment. The study focuses on the seasonal variation of three specific antibiotic resistance genes (sulI, tetO, and tetW) in Chinese municipal solid waste landfill leachates over two years. The study also identifies the bacterial hosts of these resistance genes and evaluates their risk levels. The results demonstrate the high health risk associated with antibiotic resistance in landfills, particularly in genes that are abundant in the human-associated environment, have gene mobility, and possess pathogenicity.

Summary: Despite limited studies on pharmaceutical wastewater contamination in Saudi Arabia, this study investigated the occurrence, mass loads, and removal efficiency of pharmaceuticals in three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Riyadh city. The concentrations of pharmaceuticals in the influents and effluents were generally higher than previous studies. Acetaminophen, ciprofloxacin, caffeine, and diclofenac were the most dominant compounds in the influent, while metformin and ciprofloxacin were frequently detected in the effluents. The overall removal efficiency was high, and acetaminophen and caffeine were almost completely eliminated. Antibiotic compounds posed a higher environmental risk and should be monitored in Saudi Arabia's aquatic environment.

Summary: A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the occurrence, seasonal variations, distribution characteristics, and health risks of monoaromatic hydrocarbons (MACHs) in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region. The dominant MACHs found in the soil samples were benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene (BTEXS). Winter showed higher residual levels of MACHs compared to summer, and the concentrations of total MACHs decreased with soil depth. Soil organic matter content and surface soil MACHs concentration were significant factors influencing the vertical migration and distribution of MACHs.

In summer, okadaic acid and pectenotoxin-2 were commonly detected in actual seawater samples, with the highest concentration of Sigma LMATs found in the coastal mariculture area of Shandong Province. Routine monitoring of LMATs in coastal mariculture zones, especially in summer, is necessary to prevent shellfish contamination.

Key trends include increased nitrogen and phosphorus inputs, changes in nutrient composition and stoichiometry, and the resulting increase in harmful algal blooms. Targeted research on nitrogen reduction, adaptation strategies, and the consequences for ecosystems and economic sustainability is needed to address the ongoing issue.

Summary: The study found that the concentrations of PTEs in sediments decreased from the Yellow River Estuary to the inner Laizhou Bay due to the long-term impact of the Yellow River. Three potential sources were identified through principal component analysis: natural origins, coastal anthropogenic activities, and marine production. Among the PTEs, Cd was the most significant contaminant and was also the most sensitive factor in evaluating ecological risk.

Summary: The study comprehensively investigated the occurrence, spatiotemporal variations, influence factors, and environmental risks of neonicotinoids and fipronil in Jiaozhou Bay, China. Both NEOs and FIPs were found to be predominant pesticides in the area, with higher concentrations observed in summer and autumn. Temperature and nitrogen-containing nutrients were identified as key factors affecting the distribution of these pesticides in the environment. Some rivers and sewage treatment plants were found to pose a certain risk of chronic toxicity for NEOs in summer. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring and addressing pesticide contamination in aquatic environments.

Municipal effluent in the Jiaozhou Bay watershed and chemical industrial wastewater in the Laizhou Bay watershed were identified as the main sources of OPEs. Regulation of TCPP and TCEP in municipal effluent, as well as TEP in chemical industrial wastewater, is necessary to protect the waters of the Shandong Peninsula.

Summary: This study detected 11 major paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in the seawater of a typical aquaculture bay in China, with concentrations ranging from 0.75 ng/L to 349.47 ng/L. It was found that climatic factors, nutrient status, and hydrological conditions significantly influenced the distribution of PSTs in the mariculture bay. Preliminary environmental risk assessments indicated a high risk of chronic PST toxicity for aquatic organisms in the waters of the bay. These findings suggest that the risk of PST pollution in mariculture bays, especially in coastal areas of North China and worldwide, may have been underestimated and should be taken seriously.

A study in China analyzed the occurrence and risk of PPCPs in the Jiaozhou Bay watershed, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea. The results showed a decrease in detection frequencies and total concentrations of PPCPs from rivers to coastal seas. PPCP mixtures pose medium to high risk to aquatic organisms, with antibiotics and personal care products posing a higher risk to algae and estrogens posing the greatest risk to fish.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.

It was found that increasing the application of thiencarbazone-methyl center dot isoxaflutole resulted in increased stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity. Increasing soil pH was recognized as a key factor in improving the diversity and structure of soil microflora. Supplemental use of nitrapyrin or modified attapulgite can increase soil pH and improve bacterial diversity.
