Micro(nano)plastics (MNPs), as a globally emerging environmental pollutant, are now ubiquitous in natural environments and can continuously enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. This widespread exposure has raised si...
Nitric acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively utilized for removing dissolved heavy metals from aqueous systems; however, their use as a capping material to immobilize heavy metals in sediments has rarely been investi...
Chronic exposure to pesticides poses significant hepatorenal toxicity risks, yet a systematic comparison of their effects across species and tissues is lacking. In this study, we systematically evaluated the cytotoxicity of eight pesticides using hum...
Elevated exposure to manganese (Mn) has been linked to a broad spectrum of neurological disorders, including motor dysfunction. Neuroinflammation with excessively activated astrocytes plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of neuro...
This study aimed to examine the associations between distinct tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) biomarkers and healthcare utilization patterns in U.S. children ages 3–11 years with and without current asthma. Secondary data from the 2013–2016...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health concern, especially in developing countries. Although previous studies have suggested a link between urbanization and CKD, the existing evidence remains limited and inconsistent. We selec...
Background: Strobilurin fungicides (SFs) are widely detected in the environment, but data on their occurrence in humans and potential health effects are scarce. Objective: This study aimed to characterize the exposure to SFs in a human population fro...
The antioxidant N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) is widely incorporated into tires to extend their service life. However, in the presence of ozone, it is readily transformed into N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-...
Hurricanes are increasingly impacting inland water systems, yet their role in mobilizing anthropogenic contaminants remains insufficiently characterized. This study presents a preliminary assessment of organic contaminant loading in the French Broad...
Anthropogenic activity seriously damages the environment. Cadmium, lead, and thallium are toxic elements that are especially hazardous for nature. In polluted air, they are present in the form of microparticles 2–3 μm in size and belong to t...
