Summary: This study analyzed sediment from Cienfuegos Bay, Cuba to examine the occurrence of organic pollutants from 1990 to 2015. The results showed the presence of regulated contaminants such as PCBs, OCPs, and PBDEs, with a decline in PCB contamination since 2007. Emerging contaminants, including PAEs, OPEs, and aHFRs, showed sharp increases, possibly due to the growing global usage of flame retardants and plasticizer additives. Local sources, such as a plastic recycling plant and urban waste outfalls, may contribute to these trends. Further research is needed to understand the influx of these emerging contaminants.

Summary: This study identified and analyzed OPFRs-related genes using the TCGA and CTD databases, and found that OPFRs may be closely related to colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with a good prognosis. Further experiments demonstrated that one of the OPFRs, triphenyl phosphate, significantly increased the viability and proliferation of CRC cell lines. Additionally, the research found that melatonin had a significant impact on CRC cell proliferation and migration ability induced by TPP.

Summary: Informal handling of electrical and electronic waste poses a significant risk for human exposure to halogenated and organophosphate flame retardants. Studies have shown that e-waste recyclers and residents living in recycling zones have higher internal and external exposure to these chemicals, especially younger adults and children. The dominant exposure pathways for brominated flame retardants and dechlorane plus are through food intake and dust ingestion, while inhalation is the primary pathway for organophosphate exposure in informal e-waste sites.

Summary: The chlorinated organophosphate flame retardants (Cl-PFRs) have been widely used in upholstered furniture despite their carcinogenic potential. This study assessed the dermal absorption of these chemicals from furniture fabrics for the first time, revealing that all three target Cl-PFRs were dermally bioavailable to varying degrees. Factors such as compound properties, exposure matrix, exposure dose, and skin hydration can influence the dermal uptake of Cl-PFRs.

Summary: Plants have the ability to uptake and transform flame retardants from the environment, but the understanding of their uptake, translocation, accumulation, and metabolism in plants is still limited. Studies show that flame retardants can be absorbed by plants through roots and leaves, and undergo metabolism within plants. Further research is needed to explore the transport pathways and metabolites of flame retardants in plants.

Summary: Traditional survey methods are limited in fully assessing aquatic plant diversity in river ecosystems, leading to an increased importance of improved monitoring programs. This study evaluated the efficiency of environmental DNA (eDNA) in estimating aquatic plant diversity and spatial distribution in rivers from the Jingjinji (JJJ) region, revealing a higher number of species and abundance identified by eDNA compared to TSM. The findings suggest that eDNA can effectively evaluate aquatic plant diversity and respond to landscape heterogeneity in river ecosystems, providing essential data for biodiversity conservation.

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.
