Therefore, dust is an important source of human exposure to indoor carcinogenic contaminants. The aim of this research was to determine the contribution of individual PAHs in the total amounts of PAHs (ΣPAH) in dust collected inside cars and compare those concentrations with PAH concentrations and profiles in ambient air. Data on PAH concentrations in dust from the interior of 22 cars with diesel or gasoline engines was compared with the ambient concentration of PAHs bound to the PM10 particle fraction. The total concentration of 11 PAHs (Σ11PAH) in dust ranged from 0.39 µg g-1 to 12.1 µg g-1.

This study aimed to evaluate, in two contrasting seasons of the year, the occurrence of 16 highly prescribed HAPIs in 26 sites distributed along urban gradients of 7 watersheds of the Rio de la Plata estuary southern plain within the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Region. Owing to their average annual concentrations and frequencies, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, carbamazepine, atenolol, enalapril, metformin, and sildenafil were the dominant HAPIs. Total HAPIs concentrations and numbers significantly increased as the watercourses ran into more intensely populated areas. Sampling sites within urban conglomerates receiving WWTP discharges displayed higher HAPIs concentrations and numbers, demonstrating the inefficacy of current plants in eliminating these substances. Sampling sites within urban conglomerates without official discharges also showed high HAPIs concentrations and numbers, pointing out \"straight-piping\" and septic tank leaking as significant pollution sources. Detecting some HAPIs in rural sites would indicate that other minor sources (e.g., veterinary uses or atmospheric deposition) are also contributing. Shifts in HAPIs frequencies and concentrations around the overall medians were a better indicator of seasonal variations than the absolute values affected by hydrological conditions.

Here, we refine a multimedia mass-balance model named PROduction-To-EXposure (PROTEX) to support evaluating the environmental fate of and human exposure to PM organic chemicals in different sources of drinking water. By examining a case study chemical, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), we demonstrate that the multimedia transport and distribution of PM organic chemicals in a region is influenced by both the mode of emission (ie, the environmental medium/media into which a chemical is initially released) and the source of drinking water (ie, the water medium from which it is extracted). As our modeling results indicate, in humid regions, regionally released PFOA predominantly accumulates in estuarine water, potentially reaching open seas and oceans. In contrast, in arid regions, a remarkable portion of regionally released PFOA may concentrate in deep groundwater. Compared to other scenarios, contamination by PM organic chemicals is likely to be significantly less reversible when these substances are released into deep groundwater, or when drinking water is sourced from deep groundwater. In these cases, contamination may not reach a steady state within a century-scale timeframe, and dynamic modeling informed by temporal emission trends is appropriate for assessment. Our work provides a computational tool for evaluating the large numbers of chemicals on the market for their potential to impact drinking water safety.

To test the effectiveness of a novel treatment for immobilizing PFAS in sediment, 3D-printed (3DP) structures containing zeolite known to adsorb PFAS were inserted into a field-collected sediment (∑PFAS 140 ng/g dw) and a spiked sediment (∑PFAS 38,000 ng/g dw) for 14 days concurrently with estuarine amphipods (Leptocheirus plumulosus) to test efficiency in reducing PFAS concentrations in sediment, sediment porewater, overlying water, and bioaccumulation in tissue. Free zeolite powder and 3DP-clay structures were also tested to investigate effects of zeolite and the 3DP structures separately. Both zeolite treatments proved effective in reducing PFAS, with ∑PFAS reductions for the 3DP zeolite treatments up to 80-95% in sediment and water, and >99% in the porewater and overlying water of the free zeolite powder treatments. By reducing PFAS from the sediment and water, the 3DP zeolite also decreased PFAS bioaccumulation into the amphipods, with a 34% and 85% reduction of ∑PFAS in amphipod tissue from the field and spiked treatments, respectively. While both the 3DP and free zeolite powder treatments reduced PFAS from the sediment and water, exposure to free zeolite powder in sediment resulted in complete amphipod mortality whereas the 3DP zeolite did not significantly impact survival. As 3DP zeolite structures were successful in reducing multiple PFAS analytes from sediment, they represent a promising option for both laboratory toxicity and bioavailability reduction studies and further research and development on scalability and effectiveness in a field setting to reduce PFAS mobility and risk.</p>","PeriodicalId":11793,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144599677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
