Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) represent a significant source of organic pollutants in the environment. In this study, a well-rounded dataset containing 371 NACs with rat oral median lethal doses (LD) was developed. Based on the dataset, binary and m...
Metals in stormwater can be toxic to organisms, particularly when occurring in truly dissolved form (fraction <3 kDa). Here, using 153 samples collected during six rains, we investigated intra-events variations of total, dissolved and truly dissolved...

Poor air quality is becoming a critical environmental concern in different countries over the last several years. Most of the air pollutants have serious consequences on human health and wellbeing. In this context, efficient forecasting of air pollut...
It is an important topic in environmental sciences to understand the behavior and toxicology of chemical pollutants. Quantum chemical methodologies have served as useful tools for probing behavior and toxicology of chemical pollutants in recent decad...
Microplastic pollution of stormwater can be a serious threat to the environment. Gross pollutant trap (GPT) - bioretention treatment trains have been shown previously to treat (inter alia) particulate stormwater pollutants including microplastic part...
Biological assays are useful in water quality evaluation by providing the overall toxicity of chemical mixtures in environmental waters. However, it is impossible to elucidate the source of toxicity and some lethal combination of pollutants simply us...
The mechanisms leading to organ level toxicities are poorly understood. In this study, we applied an integrated approach to deduce the molecular targets and biological pathways involved in chemically induced toxicity for eight common human organ leve...
Identifying potential persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) substances from industrial chemical inventories are essential for chemical risk assessment, management, and pollution control. Inspired by the...

There are various types of hepatic steatosis of which non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which may be caused by exposure to chemicals and environmental pollutants is the most prevalent, representing a potential major health risk. QSAR modelling has t...
Environmental contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is widespread, because of both their decades of use, and their persistence in the environment. These factors can make identification of the source of contamination in samples a...
