Summary: This study examines the effectiveness of the local press as a monitor of corporate misconduct. The results show that local facilities of publicly listed firms increase violations and penalties after local newspaper closures, indicating a reduction in press monitoring. This effect is not influenced by economic conditions, local fraud environment, or firm conditions. Therefore, local newspapers play a crucial role in monitoring firms' misconduct.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the respiratory, genotoxic, and cytotoxic effects of occupational exposure to products of typographies, specifically printers, and determine the associated genotoxicity risk. The study included 69 subjects, with 25 occupationally exposed individuals (study group) and 44 non-exposed individuals (reference group). Analysis of oral epithelial cells revealed a significantly higher frequency of micronucleated cells in the study group compared to the reference group. Occupational exposure to typographical products was identified as a risk factor for micronucleated cell occurrence. However, spirometry results did not show significant respiratory effects between the two groups.

Summary: Passive sampling using sorbents is a cost-effective method for measuring pollutants in air, such as VOCs. This study measured UTRs of 27 VOCs using a simultaneous active/diffusive sampling technique, finding a linear relationship between UTR and time for many compounds, providing important information for assessing human exposure risks to air toxics.

Summary: Heavy metal contaminations can have severe toxic impacts on ecological systems and human health. This study introduces a novel technique called Bio-DGT, which combines the use of a bioassay with the diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) method to simultaneously assess the toxicity of metals while measuring their labile concentrations. The results show that Bio-DGT has good sensitivity and stability, making it a potential tool for risk assessment of heavy metal contaminations.

Summary: Smell printing, or odor printing, is a novel method of defining objects by their odor, with human body odor proving to have a relatively low error rate compared to other biometrics. The Cogno-monitoring system (CMS) is a prototype designed to analyze and encode odors, providing sensitivity and specificity scores among individuals. This research demonstrates the potential for accurately identifying individuals based on their unique volatile organic compound (VOC) distribution in body odor.

Summary: The geographical shift of nickel mining to small island countries of the Southeast Asia and Melanesia region has increased the environmental risk associated with sediment nickel exposure to benthic estuarine/marine biota. The DGT technique can be used as a complementary tool to assess the bioavailability of nickel in estuarine/marine sediments, especially in areas where there is limited toxicity data available.

Summary: Research on airborne exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in indoor environments, particularly in healthcare settings, is ongoing. Currently, there is no standardized or optimized method for bioaerosol sampling, leading to limitations in representing temporal and spatial variability of the virus in aerosols. Experimental models indicate that environmental samples with higher viral RNA amplification values may not necessarily have infectivity. Standardization of long-term monitoring and infectivity assessment for SARS-CoV-2 in the air is urgently needed.

Summary: There are important questions about the role of outdoor and indoor air quality in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and the persistence of the COVID-19 epidemic. Environmental health plays a critical role in preventing COVID-19. The public health community should consider the evolving evidence and issue occupational guidelines. New evidence from epidemiological and experimental research is expected to provide knowledge about virus diffusion, COVID-19 severity in highly polluted areas, interpersonal distance requirements, and the need for masks in indoor and outdoor environments.

Summary: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can lead to end-stage renal disease and increased mortality. Kidney transplantation is the only definitive treatment, but organ rejection is a risk in the short-medium term. This preclinic study proposes the optimization of a non-invasive and cheap TD-GC-MS protocol to monitor CKD patients before and after surgery, with the aim of predicting kidney rejection. Using the ReCIVA((R)) device, the breath of healthy and pathological subjects was analyzed, identifying 67 molecules and quantifying 13 compounds with high prognostic values.

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

Summary: This study examines the association between urban Green and blue spaces (GBS) exposure and Emotion and behavior problems (EBP) in youth populations. The findings suggest that higher exposure to GBS, particularly green spaces (GS) and blue spaces (BS), is associated with a decrease in the risk of developing total difficulties in young individuals. The joint effect of GS and BS may also contribute to the decrease in EBPs.

Summary: Air pollution is associated with a range of health issues and gestational exposure to environmental pollutants may be linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. This study investigated the effects of oral gestational exposure to particulate matter (PM) on ultrasonic vocalizations (USV). The findings suggest that this exposure may lead to social deficits and abnormal gene expression related to neurotransmitter systems. Further research is needed to better understand the effects of air pollution on neurodevelopmental disorders and the neurotransmission systems involved.

Summary: The present study investigated the sustainable approach for wastewater treatment using waste algal blooms. The biochar produced by the marine algae Ulva reticulata was used to remove chromium, nickel, and zinc from aqueous solutions. The study examined the adsorbents' properties and stability using SEM/EDX, FTIR, and XRD. The results showed that the biochar had high removal efficiency for the toxic metals, and the packed bed column effectively removed the heavy metal ions. The Thomas and Adams-Bohart models were found to best fit the regression values, and desorption studies were conducted to understand the sorption and elution processes.

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.

Summary: Heteroatom doping can reconfigure the electronic structure of heterogeneous catalysts, leading to the development of advanced oxidation water purification materials with superior performance and stability. In this study, a series of catalysts with different elemental doping were prepared using a simple and environmentally friendly method. The S-doped NiCo2O4 catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance for the removal of Tetracycline, with significantly increased kinetic constant and high oxidation and mineralization efficiency in a wide pH range. The degradation process was dominated by non-radical oxidation pathway after S doping, and the overall process moved towards low toxicity.
