Summary: This study investigated the relationship between mammographic density (MD) and residential proximity to pollutant industries in premenopausal Spanish women. The results suggest that while there is no statistically significant association between MD and distance to industries as a whole, there are associations with specific industrial sectors and pollutants, indicating a potential mediating role of MD in breast carcinogenesis.

Summary: Evidence shows a connection between living near major roadways and adverse health outcomes. This study used data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Surveys in 2018 and found that living closer to major roads is associated with poorer physical functioning, especially for basic living ability, among individuals aged 65 and above. This association is stronger with longer duration of living close to major roads and is more pronounced in male and current smokers.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the risk of diabetes incidence associated with source-specific air pollution. The results showed that air pollution related to particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) and traffic emissions was associated with an increased incidence of diabetes. These findings are consistent with the current evidence on traffic pollution as an environmental risk factor for diabetes.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of comorbidity of hypertension and type 2 diabetes on brain structure and cognitive capacity in Puerto Rican adults. The results showed that participants with comorbidity had poorer brain structural integrity and lower cognitive scores compared to those without comorbidity. These findings highlight the importance of addressing hypertension and type 2 diabetes in order to improve cognitive health in this population.

Summary: Studies suggest that transportation noise, specifically road traffic noise, is associated with increased mortality, particularly in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The exposure-response relationship between noise levels and mortality risk varies depending on the specific cause of death, with linear relationships observed for some causes. However, evidence on the effects of low-level noise and railway noise as risk factors for mortality is limited and inconclusive.

Summary: This study aimed to identify microbial signatures that contribute to the shared etiologies between chronic heart failure (CHF), type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. The serum levels of 151 microbial metabolites were measured in 260 individuals from the Risk Evaluation and Management of heart failure cohort, and it was found that those metabolites varied by an order of 10(5) fold. Key microbial metabolite-based risk scores were superior in CHF prognosis than the traditional Framingham or Get with the Guidelines-Heart Failure risk scores.

Summary: This study explores the role of circulating metabolites in mediating the relationship between dietary protein and frailty. The results suggest that higher intake of plant protein is associated with lower levels of frailty, while animal protein does not show such association. The study also identifies specific metabolites, such as lipid metabolites and tryptophan-related metabolites, that mediate the protective effect of plant protein on frailty.

Summary: The Arctic region is facing contamination from long-range pollution and local human activities. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are used as environmental indicators for emission, transport, and deposition processes. Research conducted in the Arctic surface snow in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard from October 2018 to May 2019 shows that long-range inputs of PAHs mainly occur in winter, while the most abundant analyte retene exhibits opposite seasonal trends.

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.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of biochar on methylmercury (MeHg) accumulation in rice. The results show that biochar reduces MeHg levels in paddy soils by decreasing bioavailable Hg and microbial Hg methylation. Additionally, biochar decreases the uptake and translocation of MeHg in rice plants, resulting in a reduction of MeHg accumulation in rice grains.

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.
