Summary: Previous research in Suriname has found high concentrations of mercury in hair of women and children in rural interior communities, as well as in freshwater fish. Pregnant women from interior communities have significantly higher concentrations of total and methylmercury in hair compared to those from urban coastal cities. Mercury exposures in pregnant women in Suriname are largely influenced by diet and fish consumption, with methylmercury making up the majority of total mercury in both blood and hair.

Summary: In animal studies, the combination of in utero fluoride exposure and low iodine has more negative effects on offspring learning and memory. This study evaluated whether maternal urinary iodine concentration modifies the association between maternal urinary fluoride and intelligence in boys and girls. The results suggest that adequate iodine intake during pregnancy may minimize fluoride's neurotoxicity in boys.

Summary: This paper proposes a new adaptive estimation approach for spatially varying coefficient models with unknown error distribution. Unlike geographically weighted regression (GWR) and local linear geographically weighted regression (LL), this method can adapt to different error distributions. A generalized Modal EM algorithm is used for estimation, and the asymptotic property of the estimator is established. Simulation and real data results show that the new adaptive method has considerable improvement over GWR and LL estimation for non-Gaussian error distributions.

Summary: Motivated by applications, a class of dynamic single-index varying-coefficient models is proposed to examine the varying interaction effects on the response variable among a set of covariates. A spline-based approach is developed for estimation, and the resulting estimators exhibit the oracle property. A penalized method is presented for variable selection, and a test statistic is provided to check the variation of interaction effects. Simulation studies and real-data analyses demonstrate the model's good performance and statistical inference methods.

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: 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.
