Summary: This study focused on the occurrence, distribution, bioaccumulation, and bioconcentration of PBDEs and PAEs in corals, their zooxanthellae, and mucus in the Larak coral reef for the first time. The pollutants were found to be most concentrated in mucus, with soft corals containing higher lipid content showing higher levels of PBDEs and PAEs. Bioconcentration played a more prominent role than bioaccumulation in the enrichment of pollutants from the water and ambient sediment.

Summary: The study identified the presence of chlorinated paraffins in coral species at the Larak coral reef. Soft corals were found to accumulate more chlorinated paraffins than Scleractinian corals, with zooxanthellae and mucus accumulating more chlorinated paraffins than tissue and skeleton. Congener group patterns were dominated by C-13 for SCCPs and C-17 for MCCPs, with some alterations between mucus and other coral compartments. High loadings of chlorinated paraffins were detected in the skeletons of bleached corals, and a negative correlation between chlorinated paraffin levels and symbiodinium density was observed.

Summary: The bioavailability of trace metals in coral skeletons and sediment samples from Larak and Qeshm Islands in the Persian Gulf was investigated. The results showed that Pb at the Qeshm Station and Cd and Zn at both Stations could have adverse biological effects due to high bioavailability. The studied coral reefs showed a high tendency for Pb adsorption, making them efficient bioindicators of Pb contamination.

Summary: This study compared the phylogenetic relationships of coral species from the Persian Gulf with those from the Indo-Pacific, revealing that some previously thought to be widespread species in the IP actually belong to distinct lineages. Morphological convergence has led to an underestimation of coral species diversity in the Persian Gulf.

Summary: The magnetic properties of root, bark and leaf of Avicenna marina and sediment in the northern Persian Gulf were determined to assess pollution. The study found that the sources of particles on leaf surfaces can be distinguished by SIRM values and heavy metal content. However, factors such as wind direction, particle size and crown density affect the use of SIRM for biomonitoring. The significant correlation between SIRM and leaf elemental contents indicates that the deposited particles on leaves mainly come from geological sources. The magnetic properties of sediments and mangrove roots are suitable indicators of pollution in aquatic environments.

Summary: Surface sediment and water samples were collected from Musa Estuary and analyzed for metals concentrations using ICP-MS. Cd had the highest contribution to ecological risk (49% based on PERI index). The Tessier procedure revealed that with increasing contamination, exchangeable and carbonate fractions of Cd, Pb, Ni, Zn, and Cu increased. Cd and Pb were found to have a high risk of release based on the mobility factor and individual contamination factor indices. Cluster analysis showed different sources for different metals. The adsorption of Co, Ni, V, and Zn to sediments was influenced by Eh/pH, DOC/temperature, and salinity.

The research classifies the Sarvak oil samples and investigates the causes of genetic differences in oil families. The findings show that the oils in the Persian Gulf basin originate from different source rocks, and the thermal maturity and source rock locations vary among the oil families.

Summary: The study revealed that exposure to a multimetal mixture at Maximum-Permissible-Concentrations (MPCs) induced genotoxic effects in fish blood erythrocytes and lethargic behavior in Oncorhynchus mykiss. Additionally, the study showed that O. mykiss had the ability to depurate chromium and nickel within 28 days but had a slower decrease in cadmium levels. Moreover, the fish demonstrated a significant capacity to restore DNA integrity after exposure to the metal mixture, although the recovery period was insufficient for erythrocytes with nuclear abnormalities to fully recover.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of various organic solvents and solvothermal conditions on the formation of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) through the hydrolysis of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP). It was found that methanol and ethylene glycol had a prominent inhibitory effect on the hydrolysis and formation of CDHA, while ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and butyl alcohol did not inhibit the hydrolysis. Ethylene glycol had the largest impact on sample morphology, with samples containing a significant fraction of rods obtained under certain ratios and solvothermal conditions. However, samples prepared with ethylene glycol had particularly low surface area.

Summary: In this study, the effects of sodium lauryl sulfate and various amino acids on the formation of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite were investigated. The nature and concentration of the additives were found to influence the phase purity and morphology of the final product. Higher concentrations of sodium lauryl sulfate and dodecanedioic acid induced the formation of impurities, while aspartic and suberic acid did not affect the phase purity. The morphology of the samples varied depending on the concentrations of specific organic additive.

Summary: This study for the first time collated the patterns and sources of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as contamination indicators, environmental genotoxicity measures, and metrics of ecological status in aquatic ecosystems. The results showed a high contamination risk at certain study sites, with vehicle and industrial emissions identified as the primary sources. Furthermore, it was found that river environments had higher genotoxic risk compared to lakes, and even severely contaminated lakes showed only a moderate genotoxic risk, indicating the potential for adaptation of biota to long-term contamination.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. 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.

The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
