Concentrations of As and selected metals were determined in surface soils of the Miyun Reservoir watershed of Beijing, China. The degree to which concentrations of As and metals exceeded the corresponding background concentration of soils was: Cr > Cu > Zn > As > Ni with no apparent anthropogenic contamination with Cd and Pb. Based on the results of a combination of multivariate statistics and geostatistical analysis, greater concentrations of Cr and Ni in soils were determined to be primarily from iron ore mining near where the Chaohe River enters the northeast portion of the reservoir. Agricultural activities were responsible for the observed elevated concentrations of Cu and Zn in soils. Relatively great concentrations of As were found in soils near the upstream regions of the Baihe River in Chicheng County where small gold mining activities have taken place. The greatest potential for adverse effects of Cr and Cu occurred along the eastern shore of Miyun Reservoir. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Proteomic analysis using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification technology reveals mechanisms of toxic effects of tris (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate on RAW264.7 macrophage cells

Wei Zhang, Ruiguo Wang, John P. Giesy, Su Zhang, Shulin Wei, Peilong Wang

Summary: In this study, the effects of TDCIPP on immune cells were investigated using iTRAQ-based proteomic techniques. A total of 180 differentially expressed proteins were identified, with some found to be involved in pathways related to apoptosis, DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, immune-toxicity, and signaling pathways. The study also suggested that the collapse of MMP may play a role in TDCIPP induced apoptosis.

Distribution of microplastics in benthic sediments of Qinghai Lake on the Tibetan Plateau, China

Ning Jiang, Wei Luo, Pin Zhao, Bila Ga, Junmei Jia, John P. Giesy

Summary: A study conducted on Qinghai Lake in China, the largest brackish lake on the Tibetan Plateau, found that the distribution of microplastics (MPs) with size <5 mm varied from the lakeshore to the center. The distribution was influenced by river inflow, tourism, and minimal human activity. Qinghai Lake was classified as moderately polluted with MPs based on the abundance in the sediments. The dominant characteristics of MPs in the sediments were transparent, fiber-shaped polypropylene.

Desorption kinetics of antipsychotic drugs from sandy sediments by diffusive gradients in thin-films technique

Xiaowen Ji, Jonathan K. Challis, Jenna Cantin, Ana S. Cardenas Perez, Yufeng Gong, John P. Giesy, Markus Brinkmann

Summary: Dynamic processes of organic contaminants in sediments have toxicological implications in aquatic systems. The study used DGT devices to measure the flux and exchange rates of antipsychotic compounds in sandy sediments. The results showed the continuous removal of these compounds from the sediments and their movement to the adjacent sediment solution. A dynamic model was used to determine the rate constants and distribution coefficients of the antipsychotics. The study highlights the importance of understanding the desorption kinetics of contaminants in sediments.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Metals in Diverse Biochar Products: Effect of Feedstock Type and Pyrolysis Temperature

Hattan A. Alharbi, Khaled D. Alotaibi, Mohamed H. EL-Saeid, John P. Giesy

Summary: This study aimed to assess the contents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (HMs) in biochars generated from different sources and pyrolysis temperatures. The results showed that the contents of PAHs and HMs in biochar were significantly influenced by the feedstock and pyrolysis temperature. Therefore, the effects of feedstock and pyrolysis temperature should be considered in the production and use of biochar.

Acute Exposure of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) to the Next-Generation Perfluoroalkyl Substance, Perfluoroethylcyclohexanesulfonate, Shows Similar Effects as Legacy Substances

Hannah Mahoney, Jenna Cantin, Josephine Rybchuk, Yuwei Xie, John P. Giesy, Markus Brinkmann

Summary: This study evaluated the toxic potency of PFECHS, an emerging PFAS, on zebrafish embryos and its potential effects in aquatic environments. The results showed that PFECHS caused fewer mortalities than PFOS in both acute and chronic exposures but resulted in a similar incidence of deformities. Exposure to PFECHS also increased the levels of specific genes at concentrations relevant to the environment. These findings provide insights into the safety of emerging PFAS alternatives in the aquatic environment and highlight the potential similarity of effects with legacy PFASs.

Summary: Breast cancer is the most common and deadliest cancer in women worldwide. Tamoxifen is widely prescribed for estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer and has both anticancer and chemo-preventive effects. This review focuses on the potential importance of vitamin E in breast cancer chemo-prevention and how it can affect the actions of tamoxifen. The findings suggest that individually designed nutritional interventions with vitamin E should be further considered for breast cancer patients.

Adsorption on activated carbon combined with ozonation for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in drinking water

Beatrice Cantoni, Jessica Ianes, Beatrice Bertolo, Selena Ziccardi, Francesco Maffini, Manuela Antonelli

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
