This unsettling reality is becoming increasingly common as microplastics (MPs), plastic fragments smaller than a grain of rice (&lt;5 mm diam.), infiltrate our environment at an alarming rate. From the deepest trenches of the ocean to the peaks of mountains, these invisible invaders pose a significant potential threat to wildlife and even human health (Li et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Zolotova et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Microplastics are now recognized as a major contemporary global problem (Mitrano &amp; Wagner, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Sendra et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;), with a current estimate of 1.5 million tons of MP waste in the waterways globally (Boucher &amp; Friot, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment, present a hidden threat to human health (Fenton et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). These man-made chemicals, lauded for their water and stain-repelling properties, lurk unseen in a vast array of consumer products. However, their presence comes at a cost. Most recently (January 2024) method 1633, which created a stable and uniform approach for the analytical identification of PFAS, was approved by USEPA to identify 40 PFAS compounds. On 10 April 2024, the USEPA announced the final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for six PFAS (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFNA, PFBS, and HFPO-DA). This enables USEPA to establish legally enforceable levels, called Maximum Contaminant Levels, for six PFAS in drinking water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to being a primary source of pollution, MPs can also act as a carrier (via sorption and desorption) for other contaminants including PFAS. Some of the plastic types, including polytetrafluoroethylene and polyvinyl fluoride, can contribute PFAS directly to the environment. However, this is a very small contribution compared with the potential adsorption pathway via widespread MP pollution globally. This does not disregard PFAS concerns, as some authors have suggested (Lohmann et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Rather, MPs might also increase the overall availability of PFAS in biosolids. As MPs degrade, they could release any absorbed PFAS, making them more bioavailable (available for uptake by organisms).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are also concerns that MPs can be more efficient in adsorbing PFAS in the presence of other organic and inorganic matter, when compared with controlled environments, due to their large surface area and strong hydrophobic nature (Scott et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). The adsorption of PFAS to MPs was identified as thermodynamically spontaneous due to the increased entropy at 25 °C, based on Gibb's free energy (Δ&lt;i&gt;G&lt;/i&gt; = −16 to −23 kJ/mol), reaching equilibrium within 7–9 h (Salawu et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). This suggests that PFAS may partition to the MP surface within a few hours in fresh and marine wate","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":"20 4","pages":"912-913"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ieam.4965","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141418794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Sediment assessment, management, and regulation in the 21st century","authors":"Richard J. Wenning,&nbsp;Sabine E. Apitz","doi":"10.1002/ieam.4949","DOIUrl":"10.1002/ieam.4949","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Nearly 20 years ago, SETAC published the results of a Pellston Workshop on methods for assessing and setting sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) and associated tools (Wenning et al., &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;). This was done to compile the state of science describing the harmful effects of chemical contaminants in sediments on freshwater and marine aquatic life. Since then, there have been significant advances in sediment ecotoxicology, monitoring methods, and risk assessment practices, as well as management strategies. The definition of “sediment quality” has also evolved and now encompasses more than just toxicity. It considers the chemical and physical characteristics of sediment that contribute to the health of aquatic ecosystems, including the quality of overlying waters and aquatic food chains. Advances have been made in the interpretation of the ecosystem services both provided and affected by sediments (Apitz, &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;), as well as environmental baseline values used to identify the nature and extent of environmental changes outside the range of natural variability (Brown et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While sediment sampling methods have changed little over the years, the methods for analyzing and interpreting various biological, chemical, and physical parameters used to evaluate sediment risk have advanced considerably (Bruce et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). Broader and smarter sediment screening methods and advanced analytical chemistry and assessment methodologies capable of providing insights into the drivers of sediment toxicity offer some relief to traditional limitations of sediment quality investigations (Brennan et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; de Baat et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Feiler et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). Nanosensors and new analytical methods are available for assessing biological contamination, nanopollution, and new and/or emerging chemical substances in sediments and surface waters to support management activities that protect aquatic life and human health (Hairom et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). Passive sampling, toxicity identification evaluation methods, and omics-based eco-surveillance tools have matured considerably and provide data that inform sediment assessment, regulation, and management (Heise et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Li et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;; Shah et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). New methods involving measurements of e-DNA and e-RNA and other molecular biomonitoring tools, less intrusive passive samplers to measure contaminants in sediment porewater, and the determination of metrics of biotic and ecological integrity (e.g., taxonomic richness, composition, and tolerance and/or intolerance indices) provide indispensable information for managing aquatic ecosystems more effectively (Anaisce et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Giroux et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the same time, climate change and a relatively new suite of “emerging” contaminants, such as microplastics, nanoparticles, substances in personal care and pharma","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":"20 4","pages":"905-907"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ieam.4949","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141418795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Toxicity classifications are based on Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL), which estimate industry workers' exposure conditions and frequency (ASHRAE, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). Using these exposure limits and acute toxicity exposure limit values set to prevent danger to life or health, the toxicity classifications are based on a threshold, where Class A (lower toxicity) is assigned when the OEL is higher than 400 ppm while Class B (higher toxicity) refrigerants have OELs below this threshold (ASHRAE, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). In general, refrigerants are not considered to be highly toxic compounds. Table 1 shows that the most commonly used hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants are in Class A1, which is an indication of lower toxicity for mammals (“A”) and no flame propagation (“1”) (ASHRAE, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). Nevertheless, it is important to point out that this toxicity classification only pertains to the parent compound and not necessarily to the precursors used in refrigerant manufacturing or the degradation products resulting from refrigerant emissions or use. Furthermore, the fully fluorinated methyl group (-CF3) in HFOs has prompted their classification as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the United States and Europe (Table 1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The newest classes of refrigerants, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and HFOs or halogenated olefins are currently in use due to their low global warming potentials (GWPs) and negligible ozone depletion potentials (ODPs). The addition of hydrogen in HFCs and a double bond in HFOs have helped lower their GWPs. For example, the double bond in HFOs is highly reactive with atmospheric hydroxyl (OH) radicals, which leads to their short atmospheric lifetimes and low GWP. However, because these compounds degrade quickly, they have the potential to create significant yields of various degradation products. One of the most well-known degradation products, particularly from HFCs (e.g., R-227ea) and HFOs (e.g., R-1234yf), is trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), whose classification as an ultrashort PFAS is under considerable debate (Table 1). This classification has policy implications as both the European Commission and the USEPA have signaled their commitments to systematically decrease the usage of PFAS compounds (Glüge et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Scientific arguments have been made to manage all PFAS compounds together as a chemical class because of their common characteristics of being highly persistent, bioaccumulative, and potentially hazardous (Kwiatkowski et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Trifluoroacetic acid is the simplest of the perfluorocarboxylic acid (PFCA) group of substances (Burkholder et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;) and is generally regarded to be highly persistent in the environment, toxic at elevated concentrations, and bioaccumulative dependin","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":"20 4","pages":"908-911"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ieam.4964","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141418796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their comprehensive critical review systematically presents the merits and limitations of various approaches to bioaccumulation assessment and their relevance to current regulatory practices. To further the field, Gobas et al. propose a four-tier evaluation scheme to minimize effort and costs while expediting the bioaccumulation assessment of the vast numbers of organic substances that are manufactured and subsequently in circulation.

The potential of integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) with machine learning has been highlighted in recent studies. This hybrid framework is valuable not only for assessing food supply chains but also for improving them toward a more sustainable system. Yet, an essential step in the optimization process is defining the optimization boundaries, or minimum and maximum quantities for the variables. Usually, the boundaries for optimization variables in these studies are obtained from the minimum and maximum values found through interviews and surveys. A deviation in these ranges can impact the final optimization results. To address this issue, this study applies the Delphi method for identifying variable optimization boundaries. A hybrid environmental assessment framework linking LCA, multilayer perceptron artificial neural network, the Delphi method, and genetic algorithm was used for optimizing the pomegranate production system. The results indicated that the suggested framework holds promise for achieving substantial mitigation in environmental impacts (potential reduction of global warming by 46%) within the explored case study.
