Nontarget Screening Analysis Combined with Computational Toxicology: A Promising Solution for Identification and Risk Assessment of Environmental Pollutants in the Big Data Era.

Environmental science & technology
Synthetic chemicals are intensively utilized in modern societies, and their mixtures pose significant health and ecological threats. Nontarget screening (NTS) analysis allows for the simultaneous chemical identification and quantitative reporting of ...

A Machine Learning-Based Clustering Analysis to Explore Bisphenol A and Phthalate Exposure from Medical Devices in Infants with Congenital Heart Defects.

Environmental health perspectives
BACKGROUND: Plastic-containing medical devices are commonly used in critical care units and other patient care settings. Patients are often exposed to xenobiotic agents that are leached out from plastic-containing medical devices, including bisphenol...

Single-cell sequencing and machine learning reveal the role of dioxin-interacting genes in HCC prognosis and immune microenvironment.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Dioxins are persistent environmental pollutants that bioaccumulate in the food chain, posing significant risks to human health. Despite their low environmental concentrations, dioxins accumulate in tissues, particularly in top predators and humans, r...

Evaluating the relationship between environmental chemicals and obesity: Evidence from a machine learning perspective.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Environmental chemicals are increasingly recognized as important contributors to obesity, yet the number of studies evaluating this relationship remains insufficient. This study aimed to investigate these associations using interpretable machine lear...

Emerging technologies for assessing the occurrence, fate, effects, and remediation of plastics in the environment.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Plastic pollution and contamination originates from raw material handling, polymerization, compounding, and fabrication, contributing to environmental accumulation. Advanced analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, Raman spectroscopy...

The association between maternal exposure to ten neonicotinoid insecticides and preterm birth in Guangxi, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Preterm birth (PTB) is a primary cause of mortality among newborns globally. Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants has been suggested to increase the PTB risk. Studies have shown NEOs may be linked to adverse birth outcomes. However, the impa...

ExpoPath: A method for identifying and annotating exposure pathways from chemical co-occurrence networks.

The Science of the total environment
Improving risk evaluation for environmental and human health is of paramount concern for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This includes the identification and assessment of chemical transport from commercial and industrial sources to e...

Automated detection and recognition of oocyte toxicity by fusion of latent and observable features.

Journal of hazardous materials
Oocyte quality is essential for successful pregnancy, yet no discriminant criterion exists to assess the effects of environmental pollutants on oocyte abnormalities. We developed a stepwise framework integrating deep learning-extracted latent feature...

Assessing the association of multi-environmental chemical exposures on metabolic syndrome: A machine learning approach.

Environment international
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major global public health concern due to its rising prevalence and association with increased risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Emerging evidence suggests that environmental chemical exposures may pl...

Using machine learning to investigate the influence of the prenatal chemical exposome on neurodevelopment of young children.

Neurotoxicology
Research investigating the prenatal chemical exposome and child neurodevelopment has typically focused on a limited number of chemical exposures and controlled for sociodemographic factors and maternal mental health. Emerging machine learning approac...
