Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used across a spectrum of industrial and consumer goods. Nonetheless, their persistent nature and tendency to accumulate in biological systems pose substantial environmental and health t...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), one of the persistent organic pollutants, have immunosuppressive effects. The evaluation of this effect has been the focus of regulatory toxicology. In this investigation, 146 PFASs (immunosuppressive or n...

The excessive application and loss of pesticides poses a great risk to the ecosystem, and the environmental safety assessment of pesticides is time-consuming and expensive using traditional animal toxicity tests. In this work, a pesticide acute toxic...
Perfluorinated and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), encompassing a vast array of isomeric chemicals, are recognized as typical emerging contaminants with direct or potential impacts on human health and the ecological environment. With the complex a...
Human exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has received considerable attention, particularly in pregnant women because of their dramatic changes in physiological status and dietary patterns. Predicting internal PFAS exposure in pre...

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is known as a decline in skeletal muscle quality and function that is associated with age. Sarcopenia is linked to diverse health problems, including endocrine-related diseases. Environmental chemicals (ECs), a broad class of c...
With the acceleration of urbanization, the risk of urban population exposure to environmental pollutants is increasing. Protecting public health is the top priority in the construction of smart cities. The purpose of this study is to propose a method...
As emerging pollutants, antidepressants (AD) must be urgently investigated for risk identification and assessment. This study constructed a comprehensive-effect risk-priority screening system (ADRank) for ADs by characterizing AD functionality, occur...
Exposure to hexavalent chromium damages genetic materials like DNA and chromosomes, further elevating cancer risk, yet research rarely focuses on related immunological mechanisms, which play an important role in the occurrence and development of canc...
