Imidacloprid (IMI) and polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) are common environmental pollutants, posing potential risks to ecosystems and human health. However, there is limited research on their toxic effects on nerve cells, particularly under combine...
To understand the pulmonary function and main influencing factors of homemakers in rural Xi’an, a representative city in Northwest China, 72 housewives (61 ± 9 years old) were randomly selected from the rural area of Lantian, Xi’an...
High-nitrogen organic chemical wastewater is characterized by high chemical oxygen demand (CODCr), poor biodegradability, and toxic nitrogenous organics, posing significant challenges for conventional biological treatment. In this study, a dual-elect...
Neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) are globally pervasive, and toxicological evidence indicates potential adverse effects from low-dose exposure in non-targeted organisms. Humans may be exposed to NNIs through multiple pathways, such as ingestion and...
In honeybees (Apis mellifera L.), the queen ensures the reproduction of the colony. Environmental contamination that could alter this function could compromise the survival of the colony. Ionizing radiation could be such a factor, but its effects hav...
Cadmium (Cd) and other trace elements represent a significant global environmental and public health concern due to their persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and widespread distribution in ecosystems [...]
Fetal exposure to toxic metals is a major public health concern, yet the contribution of intrauterine blood transfusion (IUBT) to this exposure remains unclear. This prospective cohort study assessed mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic levels in mate...
Poly Ether-Ether Ketone (PEEK) is used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for fruit and vegetable preservation, but raises health concerns. This study investigated the effects of PEEK food migrations on liver cell mitochondrial damage. Food simul...
Gas flaring from upstream oil and gas production remains a significant source of air pollution and toxic emissions, with major implications for human health and climate. However, the number of people living near flaring has not been quantified global...
Agricultural intensification in greenhouse systems leads to a substantial accumulation of pesticides, yet its role in reshaping soil microbial interactions and their network stability remains poorly understood. This study reveals a critical ecologica...
