The effects of prenatal exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> and its components on thyroid function in both mothers and fetuses, as well as on offspring birth weight, remain unexplored. This study involved 446 mother-infant pairs from a cohort study in Ma'anshan, China, during 2021-2022. Air pollution data were obtained from the Tracking Air Pollution (TAP) project. Thyroid hormone levels (FT<sub>3</sub>, FT<sub>4</sub>, and TSH) were measured in maternal blood samples taken at various pregnancy stages and in cord blood. We employed multiple analytical methods to evaluate the effects of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and its components on maternal thyroid function and birth weight z-score (BWz). The GLR analysis reveals that the effect of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and its components on BWz differs according to the pregnancy stage and the specific pollutant involved.

Bed sediment samples were analyzed for different physio-chemical parameters, along with heavy metals.

Forty treated soil samples were evaluated using unconfined compressive strength (UCS), pH, Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and sequential extraction procedure (SEP) tests, and statistical analysis was conducted to assess the effects of binder content, hydrochar dosage, and hydrochar type. Results show that substituting cement with hydrochar or modified hydrochar reduces UCS by 10-40%, with hydrochar having a greater negative impact than modified hydrochar. pH values ranged from 6.98 to 12.64, facilitating HMs precipitation. In heavily contaminated samples, hydrochar or modified hydrochars significantly decreased the Zn, Pb, and Cd TCLP values by 55%, 63%, and 50%, respectively. In moderately contaminated samples, the reduction was slight for Zn and Pb, with no significant change for Cd. SEP test results indicated that hydrochar or modified hydrochar in cement improves the transformation of the acid-soluble fraction to the residual fraction of Zn and Pb, but not for Cd-contaminated soil samples.

This study evaluates the concentrations and effects of trace elements released into the environment by mining activity by analyzing soil, water, and sediment samples taken from a copper mining site. According to the data, acidic mine drainage was the main cause of the high concentrations of trace elements in the soil and sediments, including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu). The concentrations of As, Cd, Pb, and Cu in soil and sediments were 2734-times, 1189-times, 157-times and 32 times higher, respectively, in comparison to the background values of averaged concentrations of these elements in the upper crust. Geological and statistical studies indicate that the primary constituents of these pollutants are chalcopyrite and pyrite derivatives present in the primary rock structure. Using water analysis data from 2011 to 2020, the release of essential trace element into water was investigated to monitor the environmental effects of acidic mine drainage (AMD) from the closed Kuvarshan copper mine in the Artvin region of Turkey.
