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...
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...
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...
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...
Non-target screening (NTS) using chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), has become fundamental for detecting and prioritizing chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) in complex environmental matrices. The vast number of gene...
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are widely used in agriculture but pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence and toxicity in the environment. While microbial degradation offers a promising solution, gaps remain in...
Emerging environmental contaminants (EECs) such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals pose significant challenges for detection and identification due to their structural diversity and lack of analytical standards. Traditional targ...
