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...

A negative combined effect of exposure to maternal Mn-Cu-Rb-Fe metal mixtures on gestational anemia, and the mediating role of creatinine in the Guangxi Birth Cohort Study (GBCS): Twelve machine learning algorithms.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
The link between individual metals and gestational anemia has been established, but the impact of metal mixtures and the mediating role of renal function on gestational anemia remain inconclusive. The concentrations of 20 blood essential trace and no...

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...

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...

Prioritization strategies for non-target screening in environmental samples by chromatography - High-resolution mass spectrometry: A tutorial.

Journal of chromatography. A
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...

Unraveling the complexity of organophosphorus pesticides: Ecological risks, biochemical pathways and the promise of machine learning.

The Science of the total environment
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...

Advancing non-target analysis of emerging environmental contaminants with machine learning: Current status and future implications.

Environment international
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...
