Municipal wastewater substantially contributes to aquatic ecological risks. Assessing the toxicity of municipal wastewater through dose-effect curves is challenging owing to the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly nature of biological assays....
We investigated the impacts of personal care products (PCPs) on dermal exposure to semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), including phthalates, organophosphate esters, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ultraviolet filters, and p-phenylenedia...
Ecotoxicity assessments, which rely on animal testing, face serious challenges, including high costs and ethical concerns. Computational toxicology presents a promising alternative; nevertheless, existing predictive models encounter difficulties such...
Artificial intelligence-assisted imaging biosensors have attracted increasing attention due to their flexibility, allowing for the digital image analysis and quantification of biomarkers. While deep learning methods have led to advancements in biomar...
Activated sludge enriches vast amounts of micropollutants (MPs) when wastewater is treated, posing potential environmental risks. While standard methods typically focus on target analysis of known compounds, the identity, structure, and concentration...
p-phenylenediamine antioxidants (PPDs) are extensively used in rubber manufacturing for their potent antioxidative properties, but PPDs and 2-anilino-5-[(4-methylpentan-2yl)amino]cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (6PPDQ) pose potential environmental and ...
Point of departure (POD) is a concept used in risk assessment to calculate the reference dose of exposure that is likely to have no appreciable risk on health. POD can be directly utilized from no observed adverse effect levels (NOAEL) which is the d...
The bioaccessibility of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in the gastrointestinal tract is crucial for health risk assessments of contaminated soils. However, variability in In vitro analytical conditions and soil properties introduces bias and uncertainty ...
Microplastics are ubiquitous and appear to be harmful, however, the full extent to which these inflict harm has not been fully elucidated. Analysing environmental sample data is challenging, as the complexity in real data makes both automated and man...
Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) poses significant environmental risks, and identifying HBCD-degrading microbes and their enzymatic mechanisms is challenging due to the complexity of microbial interactions and metabolic pathways. This study aimed to ide...
