An automated high-throughput SPE micro-elution method for perfluoroalkyl substances in human serum.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
An automated high-throughput solid phase extraction (SPE) micro-elution method for 8 perfluorosulfonic acids, 11 perfluorocarboxylic acids and fluorooctane sulfonamide in human serum was developed. Importance was attached to the application of small ...

Association between long-term exposure of polystyrene microplastics and exacerbation of seizure symptoms: Evidence from multiple approaches.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles originating from both commercial product manufacturing and the degradation of larger plastic materials. These particles pose significant risks to environmental and animal health. A growing body of evidence hig...

Impact of environmental pollution on human health: Investigating the role of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in pediatric osteosarcoma.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
BACKGROUND: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), widely emitted through industrial processes and vehicular exhaust, are recognized environmental carcinogens. Although PAH exposure has been linked to various malignancies, the specific molecular me...

Association between prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and blood pressure among preschool-aged children: The moderating effect of child-age and the mediating effect of inflammatory cytokine.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Our aim is to evaluate the association of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with offspring blood pressure (BP); examine the moderating effect of children's age; and the mediating effects of inflammatory cytokines. Data o...

Assessing the effect of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome: Insights from an interpretable machine learning model.

The Science of the total environment
Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM) and its association with exposure to emerging pollutants, particularly perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), present significant challenges for environmental public health and risk predic...

A new method for internal urinary metabolite exposure and dietary exposure association assessment of 3-MCPD and glycidol and their esters based on machine learning.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) and glycidol along with their esters are commonly found in chemical production, wastewater treatment, food processing, and exhibit toxicity. Accurate exposure assessment is essential for evaluating the environmen...

Interpretable machine learning insights into the association between PFAS exposure and diabetes mellitus.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
BACKGROUND: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a global health concern with rising prevalence, and its link to PFAS exposure remains unclear. No machine learning (ML) models have yet been developed to predict DM based on PFAS exposure.

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...

Improving the Ecotoxicological Hazard Assessment of Chemicals by Pairwise Learning.

Environmental science & technology
This study demonstrates how machine learning techniques can bridge data gaps in the ecotoxicological hazard assessment of chemical pollutants and illustrates how the results can be used in practice. The innovation herein consists of the prediction of...

Elucidating environmental fate and toxicological mechanisms of ultrashort- and short-chain PFAS: Integrating machine learning, molecular modeling, and experimental validation.

Journal of environmental management
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), due to their recalcitrance, toxicity, and widespread environmental distribution, have emerged as a critical public health concern. The fate of ultrashort- and short-chain PFAS in the heterogeneous environme...
