Abstract Residues of pharmaceuticals are gradually accumulating in surface water resources because of the disposal of wastewater effluent. For the present study, four surface water resources (rivers and streams) that rec...

Mining activities in the Kenyan Marble Quarries (KMQ) are a potential source of atmospheric pollution, raising health concerns for the local population. This study aims to examine the extent to which marble mining contri...

Naringenin (NGN), a flavonoid widely utilized in agricultural and pharmaceutical applications, has increasingly become a source of environmental concern. This study systematically evaluated the developmental toxicity of ...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants of global concern due to their widespread occurrence, environmental persistence, and well-documented adverse effects on human health. In ...

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a widespread environmental pollutant and a dioxin-like compound that binds weakly to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Because AhR and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) converge to re...

Abstract Physical sciences are essential to the predictive modeling of complex environmental systems, particularly environmental monitoring and sustainability applications, as they provide the deterministic foundation re...

The widely distributed pollutant tributyltin (TBT) was analyzed in different environmental samples (waters and sediments) combining preconcentration on a nylon membrane, excitation–emission fluorescence matrices direct...

The objective of the present work was to establish optimal biological and physicochemical parameters in order to remove simultaneously lindane and Cr(VI) at high and/or low pollutants concentrations from the soil by an a...

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics (MPs) are certain types of persistent plastic contaminants that are a cause of concern to both the ecosystems and human health. The nanotechnologies o...

In order to assess the impact of sewage pollution on the diet of the strict detritivorous and migratory South American fish, Prochilodus lineatus, 16 sterol biomarkers were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometr...

Abstract Roadside areas are major sources of traffic-related air pollutant emissions. This study identified the spatial distribution of roadside pollutants using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) measurements and predicted t...

Persistent synthetic dyes such as crystal violet pose substantial challenges to environmental remediation due to their high structural stability and toxicity. Here, we report a natural photobioelectrocatalytic strategy f...

Non-lethal biological techniques such as blood biomarkers have gained attention due to their value as early signals of anthropic effects of contamination representing significant tools to evaluate ecosystems health. We e...

BackgroundMaternal exposure to air pollutants are associated with congenital heart defects (CHDs), yet fundamental questions remain unclear: which pollutant matters most, which exposure window is most critical, and wheth...

Prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated to childhood atopic dermatitis (AD), but the critical exposure window and the role of maternal inflammatory pathways remain unclear. We analyzed 40...

Abstract Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise a group of persistent carcinogenic pollutants whose transfer from air to soil via the atmospheric deposition represents a major chronic exposure pathwa...

Hydrocarbon pollution from oil spills, traffic emissions, and industrial processes continues to be a significant global threat to biodiversity, soil quality, water quality, and human health. Lichens, mutualistic life for...

Abstract Mosses and lichens are effective bioindicators because they absorb nutrients and pollutants directly from the atmosphere, allowing them to accumulate metals and nutrients. This study evaluated mosses and lichens...

Industrial Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology is an optional 128h-course for Chemistry and Biology students at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This course is usually attended by 25 stu...

Abstract Piezocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production holds promise as a sustainable technology, but its practicability is hindered by inadequate polarization fields, sluggish charge transport, and rapid bulk carri...

Abstract This study characterizes the seasonal variations and cross-boundary aerosol transport in central Thailand using a combination of low-cost PM2.5 sensors, sunphotometer observations, and Himawari-9 satellite aeros...

Abstract Background Ambient air pollution has been linked to atrial fibrillation (AF), yet the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain poorly understood. Methods We analyzed 227,324 UK Biobank participants without baselin...

Abstract Objective China has achieved remarkable progress in tuberculosis (TB) control, with the incidence rates declining continuously; however, the disease burden among females remained substantial with pronounced r...
